Calling [vegans] humourless or militant, sanctimonious or annoying or hypocrites – all of these terms are just smokescreens for what it is that people really feel, which is fear. @gdnlongread @go_scriptor #longform #foodpolitics https://t.co/ecwvY9i50h

@mlanetrain I think this also applies to banks. But the political challenge (or the argument I've heard) of having less market competition without UK's population density is it leads to higher prices and less choice in regional and remote areas.

@matt_levinson I think we can safely add paragraphs to the list of things they don't believe in 🤦

Going into lockdown over one case - not 10, not 100, not 1000... 1 single case - is probably causing more seeding as people drive interstate to get out of Brisbane and go to crowded supermarkets to stockpile bread and tp and whatever #covidqld

[Rei @recklessrei]

Wait so lemme get this straight... 70% of people on public transport aren't wearing face masks and this we're okay with strongly encouraging wtf. Can someone explain why we aren't making facemasks compulsory? 😷😷 #covid19nsw #auspol

[Rei @recklessrei]

@bencubby Or, rather than lashing out/denouncing, we could just stop complaining about how we're doing above our share and just do our share (i.e. only accept international arrivals that reside in NSW) and let everyone else sort their own shit out

[Rei @recklessrei]

This has got to be one of the most confusing COVID updates ever.
I'm still trying to figure out where the "southern northern beaches" is... #auspol
