After what they did to one of the most important anthropological sites in the world Rio Tinto shouldn't even be allowed to continue operating in Australia. Any politician who plays nice with them gets a black mark in my book.
Public schools more than pay for themselves!
"A new report published by The Australia Institute’s Centre for Future Work reveals the economic payoff of fully funding public schools would be two to four times the annual cost."

Looks like WA Health still says "you are encouraged to wear a mask in crowded indoor settings and where social distancing is not possible".
And "Face masks are not mandatory in Western Australia, but they should be worn in crowded indoor spaces and where physical distancing is not possible."
And "be sure to take a mask with you if you are attending a health care or high-risk facility".

Looks like that is the most up-to-date mask policy for WA (last updated 20th June 2023). So I'd have that website bookmarked and ready to show to any medical centre that claims they are following State Government Guidelines when none of their clinicians wear masks.
At a time when Parliament/Senate is supposedly, seriously querying the 'Conflict of Interest' scandal by the Consulting sector...
PM Anthony Albanese is wearing a corporate branded shirt.
Yes, sure, it's happened in the past. It was terrible look then as it is now.
Members of Parliament and Senate should be legally obliged to keep a broom-and-an-arms-length away from the perception of 'conflict of interest'.
