I wrote to 12 Victorian Senators, plus the Federal lower house MP. Not much else I can do.

I'm in hospital today, but I was so pissed off I got the mrs to bring in the laptop so I could start drafting letters on the hospital bed. Tomorrow is too late.

I've lost count of how many people I've rung up, written to and spoken with.
Labor and Queens, no. Libs and Nats, yep.
I've reminded all to keep watching how not only has One Nation eclipsed the LNP now, but if they want to become completely extinct before the next election, they MUST refuse to co-operate with any more gun laws here whatsoever, and focus on properly using the ones they already have.

You's have to be living under a rock to not know what is going to happen to all things shooting tomorrow, if Albanese gets his way in his demanded approval for his gun laws.
Or maybe people just don't care and will swarm the golf courses for their next hobby.

I gave up TV and radio 25 years ago, and haven't bought a newspaper since the late eighties.
But I'm trying to catch up on this.

We've been doing AI on the cows (three more to do) and just finished doing family stuff yesterday that we do every year during early January. And I'm trying to load the thousands of rounds I'm going to need this year. First Cowboy shoot was on Sunday and I had a case separation in the .44-40, which I still haven't gotten out yet as we had to move all the cows down to the bottom block yesterday, by trailer. We've been too busy to be watching email and Facebook much :-)

On top of being busy I've had to fit in two CT scans, two ultrasounds, and two lots of bloods over the last ten days. I made the mistake of asking him to check my lead level as well, resulting in a phone call from Dept of Health. She was so excited, hoping she was going to be shutting down somebody's business. Probably been waiting thirty years for something that would make her feel like she's doing something useful. I assured her it was entirely recreational by my own hand. But then she called my doctor who also explained it to her but he still had to make an emergency appointment to discuss it the following day. I have to do the test again (after the Cowboy state titles in March - four days of shooting) and if it's still at this level, he's talking dialysis to remove the lead from my blood. Doesn't sound like a fun day out so I'm trying to avoid that :-)
