Australia's national interest is better served by Albo not getting a meeting with Trump.

Kennedy continues to claim that vaccines arenโ€™t adequately tested.

He is a liar. They are the most thoroughly tested intervention of all.

The โ€œproblemโ€ with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

"Another Big Lie": Trump's EPA plans to stop regulating greenhouse gases And put the whole planet on the chopping block.

Donald Trump is coming for the โ€œholy grailโ€ of climate regulations.

The landmark 2007 Supreme Court ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA found that the agency not only has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, but the obligation to do so.

Not if Trump has a say.

From an article in the NY Times, the EPA is apparently drafting a plan to end its ability to fight climate change.

What is wrong with these people?

Angus Taylor outdid himself tonight with his train wreck interview on #abc730. And after crashing the train, he backed over it with a steamroller, and then blew it up with dynamite. An absolute masterclass. Fantastic, well done Angus.

Just to be perfectly clear.

We are witnessing, in real time, the collapse of civilization.

It's pretty f&%king horrible, even for a doomer who knew this was coming eventually, I've got to say.

Pretty f&%king horrible.

'The sole purpose of your SMSF is to provide retirement benefits to your members, or to pay death benefits if a member dies before retirement.

To be eligible for the tax concessions normally available to super funds, your SMSF must meet the sole purpose test.'

You've mentioned 1 boomer in this article, Patricia. Maybe you should not generalise until you cite actual evidence.

I've just realised DJs Wagga shut down in the early 70s. Marge definitely continued her shopping habit but I don't know who she shifted her custom to.

She was a character, & I'd be honoured if the anecdote made it into your sequel. She did the frock thing regularly and it was at David Jones where she had an account - nothing but the best for Aunty Marge. Looking forward to reading the sequel when it's published.

Love the affectionate way you've told the story of those times & people Ronni. Could swear you've part-based 1 character on my Aunty Marge. Will you be including in the sequel that story about how she'd go to Wagga to buy a new frock, shoes & handbag for special events, wear them & then return them?
