The plot is based on a government program, named Plan 75, which requires people to be euthanized when the turn 75 years old, in order to control an aging population.

15 Apr 2023 The last 3 Nuclear power stations in Germany have been shut down. Original target for this 2036. The cleanup of the toxic consequential legecy products left from those power stations can now start. I'm wondering if Australia is smart enough to acknowledge the impact of the faile...

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival. What a mob of hypocritical self-aggrandizing weasels.

I get most of my Australian news from ABC local radio and ABC News Radio but I have not heard a peep on even one of their news broadcasts about Senator Lidia Thorp who, it appears, was recently cavorting in the street outside a Melbourne strip club at 1am loudly accusing men of having small penises. Unusu...

I'm sitting in my caravan on Kerang Racecourse, Victoria gazing through the window at a block of silos and realising I have no idea how they work. They store grain, I realise, but how does it get in there? And out? What are the chimney like things for? What is the tall dark grey tower for? These are mysteri...

Driving with an animal on your lapSounds like a good idea at the time, but not so good when you cop a hefty fine. Its a serious road violation as a driver must have proper control of the vehicle, and having an animal or another person on your lap while driving is not considered to have proper control. Itll...

Public holiday, a reasonable number of people enjoying the public parks. Happened to be passing through a few public parks on a walk, needed to duck in for a number one. All the toilets locked. Really! End result had to water a tree, at least discreetly.
