Despite Voluntary Assisted Dying being legal across all Australian states (and ACT), the majority of aged care residential providers DO NOT allow it to be administered on their premises.
If you or someone you care about has to live in such a facility, plan well in advance. Ask them upfront.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

To quote Peggy Noonan, “is it irresponsible to speculate? No, it’s irresponsible *not* to.”
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

Because why say homeless parent? Also adults can’t have sex with 17-year-olds, we have another word for that: rape

One day the Canadian media are going to make the connection between Carney, Prince Andrew, and Trump and his inability to negotiate with him without giving him billions of Canadian 🇨🇦 dollars and projects is going to make sense. Until then, it is journalistic malpractice. #cdnmedia

Governments can and should buy and build public homes. Enough for all who want to live in one. It benefits the people who get to live in them AND stabilises the private rental market, in turn stabilising house prices.
