Another Palestinian journalist has been killed in an Israeli attack on northern Gaza, with local authorities reporting the overall death toll of journalists has now reached 213 since October 2023.
Foreign journalists are still not given access.
With no witnesses, nothing really happened, did it?

From our Treasury: “We’re moving from the hard currency of pebbles to the 21st century of currency known as “Cryo-currency”. We will be releasing a Gov supported memechunk of ice, which may become valuable, or may melt tomorrow. It’s really an exciting gamble that’s sure to pay off for a few of us.”

"a faecal immunochemical test-based programme was non-inferior to a colonoscopy-based programme for colorectal cancer-related mortality"
-so an easier test, among invitees, was as good as a more complex one. Excellent news for Australia's over 50s at-home, mail-in, faeces screening testing program.

Have just deleted my #Google account and will be using another search engine. They can’t just accept Trump’s stupid edicts, rename seas, insult our friends & expect to use us or our data. As we say in Australia, do, please, get entirely rooted.

Probably the most disappointing Labor government of my lifetime - hard to know what they really stand for - soggy lettuce going limp and flavourless in the Summer heat

It’s never been about vaccine safety or informed consent. He wanted to see how many children would die from measles if they weren’t vaccinated so he could say the vaccines didn’t work. More than 80 kids died. He blamed that on the vaccines too. Vaccines that would have prevented those kids’ deaths.

Dr. Paul Offit from last week's Roundtable on Vaccines:

"The problem is not only that we've largely eliminated these diseases...we've eliminated the memory of these diseases. Parents are now more scared of the safety of vaccines, real or imagined, then the diseases they prevent."

Getting sick of seeing police cars daubed in anti-ALP political messages. How does that fit with either their social licence or statutory obligations? One car today: 'Make Vicpol Great again'. Next to a note on 'crime rates under ALP' ... I thought they were public servants?

‘When Albanese threw out the EPA, he didn’t just throw his minister under a bus. He threw the whole damn country under the same bus.’
