The master of timing has done it again - stepping down while most of the cookers are playing referendum politics. I am in awe. I wonder who the cookers will protest about from now on. Not that reality features in their rhetoric.

They’ll protest the Yes campaign.

Then if the No vote wins, they’ll be celebrating white pride.

the yes isnt gonna win. It should. But I’d bet a significant sum of money it wont. The federal governments entirely failed to rise to the challenge and let potato head kill the thing before it was born. I’d say Albo should resign, but the alternative is the aforementioned potato head.

EDIT: The yes vote I mean. No is clearly gonna win.

If Albo resigns it’s his deputy that’s PM. I couldn’t even tell you who that is right now. My understanding is that for the referendum it’s has to majority in every state. I can’t see QLD voting yes to be honest.

He really should have announced it in his North Face jacket and starting with “at 11.59 pm today…” just for old times sake

Okay, I am doing well at work. People are impressed I’ve jumped on inbound and doing outbounds within the first week and a bit. I’m good at it, and have much more to learn.

I’m very tired, but a weekly paycycle is such a blessing; as opposed to the curse of a monthly paycycle lol

So glad to hear work is working out! And my god a monthly pay cycle is a drain. I don’t mind fortnightly but gee, a weekly one’s even better
