These people are ridiculous! Today 39C and tomorrow 40C. Very normal for Summer in various capitals of Australia. I notice on the weather site and in mainstream media (ABC TV), they’re warning of a heatwave. Madness! When I was a child aged 8, newly immigrated to Australia, I remember days like this during many Summers. More than 60+ years ago.

Australian government has set this up and they're proud of it. 🤡 They likely paid someone a couple million dollars to do the site. It's not even mobile friendly. More "data" that they can fudge and lie about to bring in more laws to constrain us all. 🤬 https://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/national-hate-crimes-database
