Obviously that reporter hasn't had a colonoscopy as have many Australians over the age of 50 . When you wake up , it's a cup of tea and good-bye. The worst part is the pre-surgery drink.

My feeling is that parents are better off saving by using a state school and using the money to pay HECS up front.

Tragedy- as a garlic lover, I now suffer from IBS and can’t tolerate it any more. Or onions. Thankfully I’ve discovered garlic infused oil. Dining out is a mine field. 🙄

I hand my 8 year old grandchild my phone so she can play a game (4 yrs+) and there they are -gambling ads. She can't get into them but they are there with flashing lights and exciting images. Nothing like some showy propaganda. This doesn't appear to get a mention in this discussion.
