  This wouldn’t surprise me at all, if it almost entirely be rental scooters.

  Here in Adelaide, they have these rental scooters lining the sidewalks on the nightlife strips - on the weekend!

  This seems to me to be almost criminally negligent. What do they think drunk, young people are going to do with these things? They are going to ride them, while drunk, and they are going to have accidents, of course.

  I like the rental scooters, as they’re a great way of getting round the city when you’re in a hurry, but they should shut them down on the weekend evenings, FFS.

  I’m just wondering if we could substitute our current monarchy for the Danish one. Maybe if a Danish naval officer lands at Sydney Cove and plants a flag there? This has a precedent I believe.

  There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried

  Can I have source?
