Big deal Dan, you’re the dick playing politics 🤬

You GO! Dan IStandWithDanAndrews ThanksDan for attacking COVID19 and putting people before money and politics. I vote DanForPM

Lockdown extended by 2 weeks, but some see being able to travel an extra 20km to do nothing as a win?!

PETROL PRICE SHOT up to rake in the profits from FREEDOMS?

Thanks Dad
