This is the Prince Vistory Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor with my good friend, Jeremy

0:03.8

Zacus. Jeremy is helping me understand Austria as many seasons. There's the four that we

0:10.5

have here in North America, and you could add mud season for Northern New England. However,

0:16.5

in Jeremy's world, they have a bushfire season, and it's coming. And the bushfire season

0:22.4

is hard on all the exotic creatures that try to kill you and the forest that lives right

1:23.5

a python has managed to find itself getting inside, and then not only has it got inside,

1:28.7

but it's looked to find itself a little home. And in this case, what we're talking about

1:32.3

is a home on the sunshine coast is has been basically invaded by an up to eight foot long

1:37.4

python that managed to get inside the home, then make herself a home behind a picture on
