#Canberra , if you'd planned a coast holiday in the immediate future, the message from locals, firies, police, everyone could not be clearer: Don't go. Resources are stretched, power is out, comms are patchy at best. And Saturday looks bad. Stay home. #nswfires #ausfires

Watching the NRA respond to Sandy Hook, and schooling Australian politicians on that response, actually makes me feel physically ill. #HowToSellAMassacre

#CanberraBubble voted Word of the Year by the Australian National Dictionary Centre. I was talking to a Canberran about this bubble thing last night. Their take?: "They're not OURS, Australia. YOU'RE the ones who send them all here."

You get off twitter for ONE DAY, you put off grocery shopping for ONE DAY, and you somehow miss the making of a viral sensation. DJ 'Runaround' Sue talked to @lishfejer on @abccanberra Breakfast this morning and it was a delight. Have a listen:

Meet the 63-year-old DJ going viral - ABC listen

She puts the 'grandma' in 'Grandmaster Flash'. Sue Freeman is in her 60s and old enough to have been kicking around when vinyl was first in fashion. But now she's known worldwide for her DJ skills.

So the conflict of interest, but *not* the approval of grants to less meritorious applications on a list coded by electorate, has resulted in Minister Bridget McKenzie's resignation today.

I continue to not understand why Australia is so happy to discuss ways to prevent *Australian citizens and residents* from coming home, rather than whether, where, and how we build *purpose-built quarantine facilities* to allow it. We're a year into this. For goodness sake.

Daniel Andrews says "a cold hard discussion" is needed about the risk from hotel quarantine - potentially only allowing people into the country on compassionate grounds. "The game has changed, this thing is not the 2020 virus."

I know many things in many places, including here, are still absolutely awful, and I don't mean to minimise that. But I swore I would never take this for granted ever again. And my god, it's good to see that sky and breathe that sweet eucalypt-scented air again. #canberra

My thing is: noone is asking people running for their lives to talk about climate change. I doubt my ABC colleagues broadcasting to fire-hit communities are forgoing emergency updates for climate change chat. For us, the mercifully unaffected: if not now, when? If not us, who?

"Cow" refers to female cattle who have birthed at least one calf. Females who've never given birth are "heifers." Male cattle used for breeding are "bulls" whereas those not used for breeding are "steers." Cow Facts™
