Dead Penguins - I never knew this!

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins l on the ice in Antarctica? Where do they all go?

Wonder no more!
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird and lives an extremely ordered and complex life. Penguins are extremely committed to their family and will mate for life,...
as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with their offspring throughout the remainder of their life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and their social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using only their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
After packing the ice back in the hole, the male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:

"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."

You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?🤣🤣

As we all know Morrisn & the #LNP use the same tactics as Trump & attack the weak. I am just about every one of the GLBTIQ so I have had a bit of experience dealing with conservatives.
#TNL are a new progressive party campaigning against right-wing populists with some of us in very conservative electorates. I believe my electorate Parkes has the highest % of Catholic voters in the country. If I win it will be a bigger upset than Steven Bradbury.
I have to be careful not to alienate conservative voters. I am fairly experienced at this in every day life politics will be next level anti trans.

These are some aerials I took today of the infamous Cubbie Station, a massive cotton plantation in south west Queensland.

Cubbie runs alongside the Culgoa River, which flows down the Murray-Darling basin and meets the Barka between Bourke and Brewarrina. ImageImageImage
The first image is the Culgoa, which snakes around to the right... and then suddenly stops (at a dam). The straight channel to the left is where the Culgoa is diverted to Cubbie Station.

The second pic is a closer shot of the dam. ImageImage
This pic is just a tiny (literally tiny) representation of Cubbie Station. The property (which is 51 per cent owned by Chinese company Shandong Ruyi, and 49 per cent by the Macquarie Bank) is so vast, it takes half an hour to drive from one end to the other (at 100kph) Image

Limiting home gatherings to 5 visitors didn’t work in Victoria last year . Postcode lockdowns didn’t work. A city-wide lockdown didn’t work. Masks didn’t work (although they all helped, they weren’t enough).
The numbers only started coming down after they put 400,000 *extra* people out of face-to-face work compared to the Stage 3 lockdown and this was not the Delta Strain.
NSW has put a significant number of people out of face-to-face work as well. But it’s not enough. If they are to crush this as quickly as possible, they’re going to have to do what Victoria did.

He is not a true Christian, pathological tendencies comes to mine. He is even on the record in his speech to the ACC stating that welfare was not a responsibility of governments it was a responsibility of religions denominations. Un bloody believable!

Image
In his speech to the ACC, Scott Morrison has shown us who he is.

Morrison’s three main points.

1.  That protection (i.e. social assistance and welfare) should come from ‘community’ not the state, and that those who expect protection from the state are immoral.
2.  That groups which coalesce in order to obtain protection from the state are evil and strip their members of their individuality and humanity.

What a dogs breakfast, seriously this just does not past the pub test. Hundreds of millions of dollars given to transport companies and consultants (which I assume are major contributors to the LNP) to rollout the vaccines to Australia. theconversation.com/were-paying-co…
We already have an expert process that distributes pharmaceuticals throughout Australia they distribute flue vaccines. It’s a fully functioning networking process. This was not used and the states were not consulted. This has to be another rort!
Now the PM has acknowledged that he is responsible for vaccine rollout program. Well now it’s time to be held accountable and leave office.

There is no relationship between unaltered endogenous testosterone and sport performance. None.

I know. Surprising, right? Image
Also, there's complete overlap of testosterone values for cis males and cis females. Image
In statistics, 'complete overlap' means, in this case, that the BOTTOM of the male range is the same as the BOTTOM of the female range (near 0), but the TOP of the female range doesn't quite extend to the TOP of the male range.
