The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.

IGA in Canberra is such a mixed bag.

Some are amazing, super clean and organised and have a unique range of stock. Others feel like a dirty old highway servo in the middle of nowhere where half the stock is out of date.

Lol at "but covid" when he was selling shit that should have been cleared out 2 years before covid landed.

That said, his point about outgoings staying the same (minus less staff no doubt) while turnover slowed massively is true.

I said back in 2020 that banks needed to be forced to suspend repayments. Just freeze it right there at the top and all the layers of dependency underneath would also stop.

Next time we do this, we hold a (metaphorical) gun to the banks' heads and just freeze things for maybe 4x incubation times worldwide and the virus would not have spread.

I like the idea that telling the health inspectors they can't inspect an area will work - all you're doing is highlighting the areas that really need looking at.
