Israel killed more than 51 Palestinians in Gaza today, and just now there are reports of a massacre in Jabalia, where more than 40 people were killed in an attack on a building where people were sheltering. Today’s toll alone will likely surpass 100 dead and more injured.

But after 18 months they haven't been able to implement a total ban on gambling ads to protect children - a measure almost unanimously supported by experts.

The two biggest selling cars in Australia are utes.
And if you think they’re all being used for work then you probably believe in a few weeks Santa Claus is going to deliver some presents your way.

A tax system that incentivises people buying big utes for "work" is terrible for the environment.
Emissions from passenger cars have fallen since 2005.
But that has been more than cancelled out by the increase in emissions from utes and other light commercial vehicles.

I have two teenage daughters and three teenage stepsons, and when the federal government announced that they were going to ban social media for under-16-year-olds, I was onboard.
