"Even though the year started with terrible bushfires it still seems like it was a simpler time. Who doesn't hold a hose?"

"Billionaires?"

One cartoon this year suggested some nice things folks might do help them cope with Covid lockdown. Which is my personal favourite suggestion?

Think about vegetables for a bit – they are AMAZING! how can vegetables help you today? – How can you help vegetables? The road to happiness runs through a veggie patch.

Every day in every way work ceaselessly to dismantle white supremacist patriarchal capitalism and support your comrades in the struggle.

One bandicoot can dig more than 40 snoot holes an hour. At around 500 snoot holes a night that’s 13 kg of dirt every evening! Almost 5 tonnes a year per bandicoot.

Bandicoot snoot holes break through the hard ground to let water, seeds and nutrients in. They reduce fires by lowering fuel loads and spread important fungi that help plants deal with crappy Australian soils.

Australia’s 8th Prime Minister James Scullin had a pet bandicoot named Monty. This is untrue – James Scullin was Australia’s 9th Prime Minister.
