So annoying. The ABC says average weekly earnings are $2000. This 2K figure is based on the CSC Full-time Earnings. The reality is the median income is closer to $800 per week (abs 2021 census). Why do we only count people working full time when we discuss income? It's so misleading.

This fellow was found crawling along the ground - possibly hit a branch & got a head knock. He’ll be fine & ready for release back into the wild, after a short period of care & rest. But if the person who found him hadn’t called it in for a rescue, he likely would have be dead within a day or two

In 2005, Palestinians called on the world to boycott Israel until it complied with international law. What if we had listened?
