    Interesting wee point of view about the shortcoming of providing links: links aren't a substitute for actually looking for links yourself.

    I tend to agree that people mostly link to things they agree with, and one can probably find a link to support any position.

    But the flipside isn't so much that links show the person is correct, they show the amount and quality of work they put into their reckons. If someone's linking to a youtube vid about a legislative change, that's substantively different to linking directly to the legislative change and, say, the law commission's view on it. Sure, still look for other discussions about it, but in the first example you'd be doing more work than the original poster.

    That's my opinion, anyway.

    When it comes to handing out the gongs, I suggest the principle recipients should be the tireless workers who are running the vaccination and testing centres plus the scientists and technicians behind the scenes who are working 24/7 to make it all happen. They are the new heroes, not the celebrities and the sportsmen and women – and the pollies – who have had a good run for a long time now.
