What we thought might happen back when 'experts' were ringing alarms about tyhe Y2K bug has actually happened now due to the Crowdstrike global outage. Just imagine what could happen if there was an actual cyber attack by such a powerful player as China, Russia, North Korea or an evil axis of all three.

In Belgium and the Netherlands, trailblazers of right-to-die legislation, the laws regulating voluntary suicide have gradually been extended to allow children as young as nine years of age to end their lives. What we are seeing is the West turning away from a culture of life to one that embraces and exalts death

It's blindingly obvious the black market will expand exponentially if the legal supply is further restricted, but Health Minister appears entirely unaware of gangland wars and tobacco shops torched in the night. All this in the cause of withholding a far less dangerous nicotine-delivery system from those it might help

According to a Lowy Institute survey, support for the once and possibly future president has seen a threefold increase since 2016, with almost one-third of respondents now favouring his return to the White House. There's a message there for Australian conservatives, if they have the wit to heed it
