72% of Australians support a total ban on gambling ads.
It’s been 881 days since the Murphy Report recommended that Parliament ban gambling advertising.
30% of Australian children aged 12 to 17 gamble - they lose nearly $20 million every year.

Gambling ad ban would pass parliament with conscience vote, Labor MP says
Macarthur MP Mike Freelander believes the multi-partisan support for restricting gambling advertising means the reforms will "get there" eventually.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

1 in 7 Australians are now living in poverty, up from 1 in 8 just a few years ago.
It’s no coincidence that demand for domestic violence services is rising at the same time. To end domestic violence, Labor needs to stop rising poverty.

Universities never indoctrinated anyone. It’s simply that right wing views don’t survive critical thought or serious scrutiny.
And it’s really easy to call everything a conspiracy when you don’t know how stuff works.

Yes, Howard purged the Liberal Party of moderates. Abbott, Morrison then Dutton steered the party even further to the right. The party is now neither liberal nor conservative.
There is no moderate Liberal Party left: its fascists and cookers wall to wall, and the odd idiot like Ley who hasn’t yet noticed. She is swimming with Nazi sharks.
