We are all individuals, let’s act like it!
I WAS thrilled to hear that Australia Zoo is taking in another troubled crocodile to rehabilitate it.
The Government announced that a pesky reptile from Cairns was being shipped to the hinterland after, and I quote, “we received reports of its repeated and concerning behaviour that was escalating, as a direct result of it being fed by people.”
So now it’s being sent to reptile Juvie so that it can spend the rest of its days being, presumably, fed by people. Makes perfect sense.
Weather or not
DOES anyone remember how we used to deal with ‘weather events’? Well firstly, they weren’t ‘events’ but it would go something like this: you’d kind of stare up at the sky for a while and if said sky was filling with menacing grey clouds you’d mosey on inside on watch telly.
Nowadays if the government isn’t telling us in the most finite detail what, where, when and how to the last inch of rain, then we seem incapable of surviving.
‘Off with their heads’ was the call after residents lost their mind when the BoM rolled out its new website a day before a big storm. Great timing of course and yes, the website is rubbish. But it really shows how much we’ve lost our personal reliance to handle these curve ball ‘events’.
Ancient history lesson
Although maybe the state government could have meddled more in this year’s grade 12 curriculum after the great ‘Fail Caesar’. Gotta feel for the students, but surely there’s got to be some compensation in grades.
I did have to wonder why one Year 12 student was worried they wouldn’t get into medicine because of their ancient history results. What were they hoping to study at university? Apothecary?
