Well observed! Your thesis ties in with an autistic need for rigid and specific roles and routines, and (often masked) anxiety in other situations.

That's interesting. Did you look into possible causes of social anxiety?

Good luck! I get vax at a pharmacy, can drop in any time. Had shingles and flu shots on the same day, flu always makes me sick, aching, sore arm, chills for a day or two. Good news was that I wasn't any worse with the shingles vax. 😁

The PM still has the chance to do some meaningful governing but perhaps he's frightened of appearing "courageous", like Jim Hacker.

80% of people globally want stronger climate action. So yes, humanity agrees. Now we just need governments and billionaires to agree. what can you do and how much impact will it have? i have gone renewable home, EVs and why I'm a big fan of Work from home, removing the need to travel.

My father was a Qld public servant for 30 years, died at 53 in 1960. His superannuation was available to mother as long as she didn't work or remarry. The good ole days.

Lovely. I'm guessing the club isn't sponsored by gambling or the ff industry.

"Policymakers should consider the consequences for workers, including the value of policies and actions that mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace."

Indeed, they’re mad not to. Improving indoor air quality is key, with other benefits too.

“Their record of delay and decades of deceit make it crystal clear: fossil fuel companies are the biggest cause of the climate crisis, and their political power is the biggest barrier to solving it.”

A new study in @nature.com shows the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to renewable energy capacity — despite claiming for years to be leading the energy transition.

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.

Have the magnetic particles released by burning fossil fuels upset the moral compass of the PM and Labor cabinet?

Infuriating. They're fine in the HofR but need LNP or Greens/indies in the Senate. Plibersek worked successfully with Greens. Why can't Albanese? I guess Labor has sold out to vested money making interests (ff, gambling etc) along with LNP so they're a perfect fit. Beyond disappointing!
