  • Mater’s Mischief #6: This raises some interesting questions

    Will they be checking Vaccination Certificates? Will there be density limits (apart from between their ears)? Will it be considered ‘essential’ and be allowed to proceed amidst any Covid restrictions? Will Dan be the keynote speaker (with so many contenders to choose from in Victoria)?
