Disgraceful

One boat was diverted to Melbourne first & is still whistling dixie outside Port Botany !

No one cares 

Did they have to circumnavigate a wind farm?

Hope the ship doesn't have a Star of David on it, it'll never get in the port..

I was speaking to a friend who works for Services NSW her job at the moment is to process EPA vouchers/payments for people in desperate need of getting help with their power bills paid. She told me she has phone appointments all day everyday, 5 days a week. She is allocated 10 mins per customer to try get through the amounts of vouchers to process. Apparently you apply on line, they call you and you have a 3 way chat with your energy provider to see if they can help you in anyway. Apparently they have never seen so many applications in the history of the vouchers scheme. She basically sits there and processes these vouchers, every day, all day, they just keep coming in. 

Energy providers don't care, they still get their money, and they just apply these lame discounts to accounts that mean nothing, usually people are on plans that are highest price, without the customer knowing, then when people struggle to pay the bill, during the 3 way call they offer them a better plan with a 3% discount etc.. I was not shocked to hear all this, people are really hurting out there.  

I thought I turned that bloody autofill thing off. It keeps sneaking back.
 

Compared to chimpanzees maybe

Again, I have not said workers in harvest should not be paid a fair wage, how many times do I need to say that before it works its way into your head?
