Don't give up on hope. Opportunity regarding SSM vote squandered. While many are campaigning for Yes or No, the lost opportunity was for a cheap, electronic vote to be tested. Done right, and not based on IBM environmental issues, but on practical considerations of effectiveness and cost, while protecting data, a vote could have been made over the internet for most of the population. By making the votes private, not secret, the vote would have been verifiable, making it impossible to manipulate remotely. Some people would have needed to use paper documents, but the cost of administering such a vote would be much less than $120 million. Meanwhile, ALP and Greens denounce the expenditure on the issue as waste. But they didn't mind throwing away $500 billion on nothing that Australia has today. Or over $100 trillion on lowering global world temperature by a fraction of a degree in a hundred year's time, and charging the bill to the world's poorest. Meanwhile, on SSM, Yes campaigners (different to those who will vote Yes) are wanting to approve abuses seen overseas when SSM has been introduced. Christian churches persecuted for not marrying gay couples and families threatened with losing their children for not raising their children in a gender neutral home. The Yes vote seems to approve a bureaucratic over reach. I'm sympathetic to the Yes cause, but will vote 'No' because of the Yes campaign.
50 years since Beatles launched Sgt Pepper's lonely hearts club band album. The album was groundbreaking, brilliant and still relevant today. In 1966, after a gruelling world tour, the Beatles gave up live performances. They couldn't play their latest album's songs on stage (Revolver) because those songs had not matched their two guitars, bass and drums stage. They were disappointed at their live efforts, which became obvious in Japan where adoring crowds were quiet. And so the Beatles went their separate ways for a time. Lennon met Yoko, Harrison travelled to India and studied Sitar under Ravi Shankar. McCartney got the idea of an alter ego band making music. Beach Boys Pet Sounds was released and impressed and inspired McCartney. Halfway through making the album, McCartney suggested Sgt Pepper, and the band decided to make the album as if it had been recorded by their alter egos. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, A Day in the Life, With a Little Help from my Friends are a few of the popular tracks that have made the album chart number 1 in Australia and UK for decades. https://conservativeweasel.blogspot.com/2021/09/17th-sept-review-of-historical-and.html
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.
