Thanks, Patrick, Doug. Desolate days here, the only compensation that the
Senate (upper house) is still not conservative controlled so the worst
decisions can be amended at least we hope.
Have not nailed the poem yet. Saw a section of fence like this leaning to
the road up in the Wimmera region of northern Victoria the other day.
Amazing that the polls got it so wrong right across the board. That listing
started in Tasmania, ran right through Queensland, with the exception of
some city electorates, then three hours later, all of WA went ‘blue’ too.
