Koalas feel good friday

Feel-Good Friday: July 23 – Puppies, Pizzas and Diamond Encrusted Koalas


I had a dream the other night. I was at Parliament House and I was being chased by Scomo in budgie smugglers brandishing a ping-pong racket. He kept repeating something that sounded eerily like “get the AZ… get the AZ”. Not that I usually listen to Scomo, particularly when he’s wearing nothing but Cronulla Sharks themed underwear, but this did seem like quite poignant advice.

Anyway, that very next day I booked in for the Astra Zeneca. Yes, I know. How rogue of me. I should be awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery.

Well, It’s been six days now and I am yet to spontaneously combust or to grow a second head. If I’m honest, I’m a little disappointed. No mutations, no superpowers. Not even one of the cools ones. But I guess, I can walk around now looking all superior and drawing “M” for murder on the back of the f*ckwits who are still holding out on getting it.

On a different note, here’s some good news for your Friday.

Koalas are among Australia’s most beloved wildlife species. Sadly, koala populations have plummeted with the 80% reduction of their natural habitat resulting from settlement expansions across the continent, the deforestation of their environment and climate disasters such as the bushfires.

Wildlife Conservation Network.
