Now thereās a very good question: Have television stations in any of Australiaās three largest markets ever ran ākids goodnightā segments of their own?
I donāt think Sydney stations ever have (at least for as long as Iāve been alive), because kids goodnight segments with a cute and fluffy animal mascot are definitely something I would remember if ever a fixture on TV here during my younger years.
Of course by the time I really knew about the existence of regional characters like Prime/7 Possum and NBNās Big Dog, this viewer was outside the target demographic!

As already mentioned 7 Perth continues to have Fatcat, Ten Perth ran the Kenny Kidna one until the early 2010s thereabouts

I remember seeing this on ATN 7 as a kid occasionally when I snuck into the lounge room late at night while everyone was asleep to catch some late night television. Not really a kids goodnight segment, though.

Not really relevant character for Melbourne thoughā¦

Prime Possum is a rank amateur. Big Dog for the win. 
I reckon the best way to sort them out
Big Dog v Prime Possum v Fat Cat

Is anyone on here currently at uni? And in Victoria , how are you finding doing your classess online?
I started UNIPREP at ECU last week, and now getting into the thick of things and starting to do research on my essay. It has been interesting to see how many people have dropped some units (Iām doing 3 uniprep) but some were doing the full set among work commitments and family life and found it a bit of a struggle.
Iām getting used to it how formal writing is and the different available databases are out there to help me in my research. Support is great online.
Just thought Iād get other uni peoples thoughts and advice on how to handle Uni and personal life. Obviously we had to do a semester planner, with all our assessments but my tutorial master wants us to put everything on it. I have no problem with that, until it doesnāt fit into A3 pages.
Apart from that uni life has been good alternating between Joondaup and Mt Lawley campuses. Not sure which campus i like more. I do like the commute to joondalup it means I can read and do study notes on the train, but the Mt Lawley one is closer to my suburb. About a 20 minute bus ride. From my house to Warwick traino to Joondalup its about a 45 minute to 50 minute ride which isnāt too bad.
That being said, itās a learning curve from the informality of tafe studying.
I did my whole Uni degree online (while working full-time) - it can be a challenge and it probably requires a little more effort then if you were to do it on-campus.
Iām amazed that there were still universities that were avoiding offering courses remotely.

Depends what youāre studying, for IT or something like that itās fine, but for Arts and Humanities I think youād lose a lot of the benefit of the course. I canāt speak to science courses but I suspect itād be the same, debate and discourse is too important.

There is more about this cult in the article.
I wonder what the reaction would be if I established a similar Facebook page for Annaliese van Diemen and asserted āeveryone was rampantly, ragingly hornyā for her?
Pretty sure Iād be cancelled quick smart and every media outlet in the country would be calling me a dangerous deviant who should be castrated.

Sounds exactly what happened to Ashley Bloomfield the Director General of health here in New Zealand during our lockdown

Exactly what I was thinking about it too. There certainly are some very clear double standards around.
