I looked in the Donation box when I arrived and could plainly see an envelope with a name and note on it. Checked again this morning, no donati...

Good to hear Dr. Norman Swan on the ABC Q+A program finally admit that covid will be around forever in one form or another. We will have to have a yearly flu/covid vaccine. Not so hard I suppose, as long as we can get back to some kind of normal. Collo.

I had to drive into the Sydney CBD today to get some things from the office. I parked in Clarence Street and walked two and a half blocks to the corner of George and Kings Streets.

With 2448 Americans and 41 Australians dead and many more injured, a trillon US dollars spent, 20 years of fighting, it seems it has been a waste of lives and resources. The British, Russians and now the Americans have all had a go at Afghanistan and all have failed. I think its a country that will just ha...

The screams of two young women being assaulted in a crowded Kimberley caravan park went unanswered as they were bashed by a group of teenagers with a metal chair and had their vehicle taken. How a night at Fitzroy Crossing left two young travellers bloodied, bruised and frightened (msn.com)
