Sure!
Cardboard isn't a perfect solution... nor was I suggesting it was any kid of solution.

Edit: I forgot it was you who'd already referenced the sketch! Sorry!

I was just making a joke referencing this sketch, featuring Senator Collins:

3 minutes. Take a look!

It's one of those rare occasions where it would be better for the environment if "festival tents" were made out of "cardboard" or "cardboard derivatives..."

I've always felt that the Aussie National Anthem needs a verse that includes the phrase,
"How's the serenity?"

"Rest of is could vote Green"

"is"? Islamic State?

Oh!... "us"... you meant "us". A typo...

So... the "United States", right?
Am I right?

(I'll shut up now...)

@Hawke

When I was a kid, my parents renovated the Queenslander (an architectural style of house) we were living in.

We had hundreds of asbestos sheets that had been removed and "needed" to be broken up for easier disposal.

My brother and I "karate kicked" to pieces.

There's more to the story, but I'm feeling a bit short of breath...

Of course the NSW police approved a neo-nazi rally....
... they wouldn't want to see their colleagues waste their day off work!

@TheTwelveYearOld

I'm a Linux Mint newbie, so, at most, 4 tabs opened to resolve a glitch.

Well, 4 tabs if the search engine used was DuckDuckGo...
... but, as much as I hate to admit it, only 2 or 3 tabs if Google was used to find the needed pages.

@wildwhitehorses
No, I'm not "new to Australia".

The point I was making is that the "duration of our showers" is comparatively insignificant compared to commercial water use and wastage.

Data centres, for AI processing, needlessly waste water resources.

Growing rice and cotton on the world's driest continent seems a bit stupid.

Screwing the geology of the Great Artesian Basin to extract gas seems short-sighted.

There are FAR more pressing concerns than how much water we individuals use while showering. (Sure, there are some small towns or shires where this is a concern.)

@wildwhitehorses

Yeah, right. Any water shortages are likely due to personal hygiene requirements of people, and nothing to do with new b.s. AI data processing centres using gigalitres to cool equipment and maintain humidity levels.

Got it.

Shhh...
If he's still here, it's just a matter of time...

Of course Kick is Australian. It is arguably INXS' best album.

Wait... what are we talking about??? (Hopefully, it's not a snuff film.)
