Bingo! Sorry - it flew right over my head.

I can too, but I thought I should point it out nonetheless. In your face clue - They weren't BMX bandits. They were another kind.

Nope. The band is also TB.

Cryptic Clue: These bad boys are travelling to 2019 to steal your heart with this sickly love song.

Nope

I know an old lady who will gladly tell you that Tony Abbott is her hero and Peter Dutton is the only politician who she fully trusts. Some of her family won't speak to her because of her highly conservative views.

Oops...I managed to get the name wrong between the Google tab and this one. I'm getting old. Next Song: ER by TB

Classical Gas by Mason Waters. Still never heard of it.

I've still no idea

Last time I voted Greens in the House of Reps, but I feel they've lost their way. I am voting for Flux first in the Senate followed by a few parties like the Australian Democrats and the Science party before listing Labor as number six. Why? Because I'm a moderate lefty with socialist views and a tendency towards Keynesian economics. As an aside, before the reforms to the senate ballot paper, I used to number every box below the line just so I could put Fred Nile's party last. If the changes had not been made, it would be One Nation in the penultimate position and Anning last.
