It's been like that for decades.

John Singleton once formed a political party. It didn't go well.

I didn't know that. Where was his party standing and what issues if you remember?

 

[Australis]

Here y'go. I'd completely forgotten most of this so had to look it up.

Thank you. Interesting bit of history there.

Watched the new Ghostbusters this afternoon. I completely blame the writer and director. I have watched worse but have seen so much better.

How tragic - 4 people have been killed on a ride at Dreamworld.

How tragic - 4 people have been killed on a ride at Dreamworld.

Yeah just saw that it was a wild water ride, the car flipped over on the conveyer going down and two people ejected off the ride and two trapped under it in the water.

I thought those metal bars release you if stuff goes wrong. I feel so sad for the two people that got trapped, that would have been a horrible death.

 

[Australis]

Terrible about Dreamworld. I honestly don't know what to say about it.

Maybe because I have a few things on my plate. First had an accident in my car. It was by no means a bad one, but the insurance is writing it off. I loved that car! Terribly disappointed.

On the plus side, I have started a new job, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

This ride doesn't have metal bars. Just some Velcro seatbelts IIRC. I've gone on it with my 4 year old niece. It's an incredibly mild ride.

Very sad. I feel for the poor children who witnessed their mothers dying. A day that will never leave them.

Oh wow I did not know that. I thought it was one of those rides with bars that drop down across your chest to keep you in the ride.

This is very sad news. I hope it's all sorted. But earlier that day I heard they had issues with that same ride before all this happened. Bugs me why they did not shut it down.

More terrible news. A bus driver has died after being set on fire. I think that the murderer should get 'life, never to be released'.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

This is just terrible and disturbing

 

[Miss Chicken]

Yes, very disturbing. Poor guy, it is a terrible way to die.

Hopefully so..

Not let off on some wonky defense.

 

[Miss Chicken]

The taxi driver who rescued the passengers trapped on the bus seems to be an African refugee.

How the hell does shit like this happen?
