@exton111 I always get a laugh when the propagandised quadruple vaxed having "cooked" their own immune systems, turning every organ of their body into a spike protein producing factory - call others ‘’cookers’’

Putin puppet Orbán called Ukraine a “no man’s land” and compared it to Afghanistan.

It is intolerable that Hungary – a firm ally of the Russian terrorist state – remains in NATO and the EU.

10 years ago (when I was Minister for Multiculturalism) we started a tradition.

At the suggestion of community leaders 🙏- our magnificent Sydney Opera House was lit in Red for lunar new year - as mark of respect to the beautiful Asian culture ❤️😊🙏

And there is no better way to experience opera for the first time than this wonderful production of La Bohème in the Sydney Opera House,” said Opera Australia CEO Fiona Allan.Complete with fairy lights and fishnets by award-winning designers, Brian Thomson and Julie Lynch, this production premiered in 2011 and quickly became one of Opera Australia’s most beloved productions.An all-star cast performs Puccini’s breathtaking music and heartbreaking tale about bohemian romance that remains relevant today. OA Chorus Member Clifford Plumpton has sung in every performance in which OA’s full-time Chorus has been cast. “It is a beautiful experience every time,” said Clifford.To access the 200 cent tickets, simply register on Opera Australia’s website and winners will be selected via a ballot system.Winners will be drawn and notified on 8 February 2023, and will then have 48 hours to redeem and pay for their choice of one or two tickets at 200 cents each to a performance of La Bohème on an evening of their choosing (subject to availability).To register and view terms and conditions, see opera.org.au/200 ...
