Guys please take a look at the article called Auntys 'nude call' on page 3 of today's telegraph ( 02/06/2022) and you will see why I nearly fell over laughing . 9 ABC staff are now being counseled because none of them had the common sense to switch their screen off or just laugh it off.
So what! Carrie Bickmores boyfriend thought he logged out of a Zoom meeting and quite rightly walked around his bathroom and unit naked not realising he was on air lol. Why didnt the idiot in control of the meeting log him off. Why do these people need counseling lol. The world is in a shit position at the moment and I was grateful for a good cackle. But then again IM NOT WOKE lol.

Woke means left-wing.

The answer to Carl's question is "very".

As far as I know WOKE means easily offended by injustice, racism etc. Seems to be one of these new terms that has suddenly appeared.

Yes, that is the more precise meaning. It was borne out of today's modern outrage industry.

I remember in the 80s when the tennis was being beamed all around the world. There was always a backup bearer incase the main one dropped out, in Italy one of the stations was broadcasting porn on what just happened to be the backup bearer. Well we all got to watch about 10 seconds of another love match lol and no one got really upset! We just laughed it all off and no one was offended lol.

If you wondered why health is in a mess Aunty's new department keeps telling us that Victoria has a Mental Health Minister: Obviously things could vastly improve with a sane one.
