Political Activity, Animal Turnover

[tcpip]

The past several days have been very busy politically. I have been organising the inaugural meeting of The Isocracy Network for June 12, contacting a number of people individually as well as through various mailing lists. I have also individually emailed all state Labor MPs to join the Land and Labor group, which supports the Resource Rent and a Federal land tax. The Henry Review includes a fascinating image of deadweight loss of various taxes. Note how existing mining royalties are the most wasteful and resource rents are the most efficient. The AWU have argued strongly in favour of the resource rent, as does a former Liberal Party leader.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments following the departure of Astaroth rabbit. Long-awaited, I have provided some videos of his somewhat famous "heater dance" (licking warm air); part one and part two. Just prior to Astaroth shuttling off the mortal coil, research on the high levels of social dependency prompted us to purchase another guinea pig from the RSPCA; Zepar! Also, just a day ago, caseopaya was seduced by two brother rabbits in a local pet store; also following the devil-bunnies theme, Dantalion and Gremory.

Thank you - your letter arrived yesterday, and fair made my day. A reply will be forthcoming, but May's mini-bonus extra thingy was sent out in the post today.

Excellent news! It is good to see that the postal system has some degree of efficiency!

I've been having a couple of issues concerning mail redirects recently.. i.e., they haven't been doing any!

Love the new devilbrothers!

I think I'm now slain by the cute fluffybunfeet.

You should hear them! There's a lot of thumping going on as Murmur gets used to Gremory and Dantalion, and the latter get used to Furfur and Zepar. We're making a few jokes about how noisy our upstairs neighbours are :)
