They’re in kneejerk mode, because of what happened in Victoria. Personally, I’d be surprised if the proposed legislation survived any examination by the courts.

skribe@aussie.zoneto Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? June 38·1 month agoI’m currently reading Zero 22 by Chris Ryan.

Still naff, but I’m enjoying Z 22 so far.

Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn’t work for me though.
