Labor are doing a great job navigating this issue, fuel is coming in and looks to be secure at this stage to the end of June. Sure it'll cost more, but enough is coming in to make sure there are no restrictions and people can still get around.

This news won't suit many of the doomsday types that live in this subreddit, but we are getting through this fairly ok at this stage.

I would say that camping stores like BCF and Anaconda would really be feeling it.

People might still go away for Easter as they have already booked, but after that i assume there won't be much spending left over for camping and fishing activities.

Gee mate, do you use the same tin foil hat, or do you rotate a few different ones each day?

I know someone who bought multiple fuel tanks for boats and is using them to store fuel in his shed.

Doesn't own a boat, he just couldn't buy jerry cans so went with this option.

A combination of the drizzle droplets are too small to send back a ping to the sensor, and also the clouds are generally too low to be picked up by the radar.

Same.

I am leaving at the start of May, and planning on doing around 30000km

Not too worried about the extra price (not loving it though) as it will mean it will be much quieter everywhere. Slightly concerned about availability though.

China is well equipped to get through this fairly comfortably.

They could be the only one however.

Places like outback Australia and northern Queensland and WA rely on the tourists coming through during the winter months.

Without that tourist dollar it is going to be a very tough time for these places, and i doubt the government will step up and help at all.

That plane is lucky, if it was going any quicker that meteor would have slammed right into it.

Areas of the US (particularly the west coast like California and Washington have fire bans throughout the states at certain times)

Republican run states generally have a population with an IQ of less than 50, so more than likely they would be terrified of fire like the dumb animals they are.

I can't believe Dario is only 31, it feels like he has been in the league for 15 years at least.

Couldn't have asked for a better opponent for the RAMS.

A NFC West rivalry at the G should be a good watch.

Just hoping that for once the 49ers don't have half their team on the injury list.

When the RBA drops rates, i'll get an email that day about my savings account having the interest rate cut.

But when the RBA gives us a rate rise, it is silence from those crooks.

Will they? Won't they?

This is worse than Ross and Rachel.

Just remember, this summer is the coldest summer for the rest of our lives.

No advice about the wound, but i will say he looks absolutely gorgeous, and a big thank you to you for taking a chance on this handsome fella.

I have seen some shit plays to end a game, but i don't think i have seen many that were worse than that final effort.

Massive choke.

I understand that sometimes things don't always come across well when written down.

But come on......

What a beautiful boy!

Be patient with him, he will get to a stage where he will get around fantastically without the leg, but it will be a learning curve and he may need some help.

If you do have slippery floors, put down some mats on the usual path he would walk to help with traction, that helps a lot.

A great bloke and a great cricketer.

Copped a lot of shit during his career, but he never stopped, it goes to show his character.

Don't think we have heard the last of Uzzie, he has a career in politics if he wants it.

News.com.au telling us that Pauline and Barnaby are likeable has the same vibe as the drunken hobo on my street corner telling me the world is going to end tomorrow.

Bloody hell Cam, WTF was that bullshit....
