Exactly! Was helping friends look for a long-term rental in Blue Mountains recently. Less than 60 available in whole area but Airbnb? 1000+. It’s out of control.

Great news! Gives me hope that the ABC will return to its past excellence - I’d almost given up on them.

Also check re rehabilitation cover. AHM approved and fully covered as many weeks of rehab hospital as Dr recommended as in-patient and out-patient. It made a huge difference to my recovery. Some insurers limit the number of weeks you can have.

My knee replacements were covered by AHM Deluxe Flexi Silver plus. Surgeon & anaesthetist did not have Gap Cover with AHM so had big Extra costs. Hospital had an agreement with AHM so fully covered.

Does anyone know if the vaccines currently available in Australia are effective against this variant?

As a non-biological mother figure myself,
I really appreciated the inclusiveness of this Mothers Day message posted in a group chat:

Yes, but it’s so broad I can’t see it’s effective. Question is: have you visited a rural area or been in contact with or near to farm animals outside Australia in past 30 days? Do they really want to know about a walk through a padi field in Bali or passing a cow in the middle of an Indian city?

The only illness Australian arrivals card specifically asks about is TB.

UTS accepts bodies not just for medical study but also for forensic science study about how long bodies take to decompose: www.uts.edu.au/about/facult...

It’s a beautiful shot. No excuse for not giving credit. Can you watermark your photos on social media with your name to stop it in future.

Unwarranted cynicism there! An expedited pathway for UK, Irish & NZ doctors has already started. amp.abc.net.au/article/1044...

I checked the libraries I belong to (5! I’m a library tragic). They all have your book, mostly in multiple formats. And all the copies are on loan already. Inner West library (Marrickville etc) already has 16 people waiting to read the hard copy.

At last the ABC has discovered investigative journalism again!
