in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
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!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Another excellent interview from @zackpolanski.bsky.social Polanski which seems to have won him the affection of yet another political interviewer in Evan Davis.
Whatever we may think about political journalists overall, some of them just want to do a good job and get tired of the bullshit.

Thought this was a great interview. Zack, in a move almost unheard of amongst British politicians, managed to sound like a sensible, normal, intelligent person! And amazing for the Greens to get that "big political interview" slot on the PM show the day after the budget!

I run a cash-based business and declare literally every penny. When people (a surprising number) tell me I'm a fool, I tell them I use roads to reach customers. If something's stolen I'd call the police. If staff were ill, I'd want the NHS to make them well again. Sometimes I feel they get it.
