Fair call. Both major parties need to lift their game!

Question time has always been a spectacle demonstrating just how badly our elected officials can behave and I’m glad someone is calling it out. Of course, it should come as no surprise as to which party is the worst:
Figures provided by the Speaker’s office show there have been 198 ejections during the 47th parliament as of Tuesday 20 August. Of those, a Guardian Australia analysis shows 161 have been Coalition members, 36 Labor and one from the Greens.

As someone who has inherited code like that, I would like to strangle the first programmer in the comic.
Make sure it’s not whitespace sensitive and requires explicit typing, just to mess with everyone.
Yeah, I saw this article too and thought it was ridiculous.
This measure of 199 out of 200 is the US population equivalent of 1,650,000 people.
So, roughly in the ballpark of how many COVID has killed thus far (best estimate I could find was a little over 1.2 million). Even that didn’t really motivate people, unfortunately.
Unless the human mortality rate is much higher than COVID, this is just going to be the same thing all over again. Vaccines take time to prepare and even though this is a flu strain (which should give us a headstart), there doesn’t seem to be much happening with this yet (even the US has only just started getting organised with an order of 4.8 million doses, which is a drop in the ocean if their burgeoning outbreak amongst livestock manages to jump to humans). Waiting until we have rampant human-to-human transmission to order vaccines will be too late.
We work in protoduction.
