@CPtraveller I drove a rented MG SUV in South Australia in Jan, hit a kangaroo, wiped out the entire front end, $14,000. Insurance came to the rescue.

@TravellerAU @bengroundwater Unless you happen to have an Indian, Bangladeshi or Maldivian passport.

@PredatorFreeNZ @GillianMonahan The Stephens Island Wren would agree with that! Except they're all dead. Done in by a lighthouse keeper's cat named Tibbles.

@CPtraveller Colectomy?

Australia’s military incursion in Afghanistan cost $1.3 million per day. We are now giving just $1 million in aid following the earthquake that killed over 1000. Beyond disgusting.

@Imasloth @Milliganreports @SydneyAirport Not true. I’ve been patted down plenty, mostly Sydney Apt, never once been offered privacy.

@hughriminton @CPtraveller Lifted from the Republican party playbook. Not a single original or decent thought among this cabal of scoundrels.

@CPtraveller A lot of Helloworld agents were ATAS members. People think they’re safe booking with an ATAS member because that’s the ATAS line and it’s a macroturd.

Landed last night at Sydney coming in from Doha and we waited in a parked aircraft for 25 minutes, doors shut while paperwork got sorted. Turkmenistan, Russia, India, China - park the bird and the doors pop open as soon as the airbridge connects.

@CPtraveller The DPD is a total turdfest. Just flew in from Rome and there were Aussies returning at the airport who didn’t even know they didn’t have to complete. Why don’t they tell that to travellers when they leave?

[Michael Gebicki @tripwiredAU]

@TravellerAU Gold Coast airport has them as well - might have helped avoid that unholy mess that’s been happening at Sydney over Easter.

@TravellerAU I used to ride pillion on my dad's AJS500 single when I was about five. Some of the happiest days of my life. No wonder those kids are beaming.

@Patrick_Poke @Ageinvestigates By rights he’d face justice in a military court so jury doesn’t count.

New Zealand opens for fully vaccinated Aussies from April 12. Bring it on!

[Michael Gebicki @tripwiredAU]

@jonostrower @CPtraveller That's probably going to happen, but the US, Europe and Japan have USD350 billion of Russia's currency reserves, and that's a pretty solid fund to compensate for those missing aircraft.

@CPtraveller great for knitting though

@CPtraveller I wrote the story the gent is objecting to. You shouldn’t jaywalk but…shouldn’t speed but…and I don’t have any problem fastening my seatbelt when I’m prone so…
