Another policy for winning all the seats would be: A substantial partial refund of CTP insurance would be given to motorists who never make a claim during their whole motoring life and when they hand their license in, or it's taken away from them because of incapacity.

I could win all the seats in Parliament with just three main policies ... 1) A big beautiful medical Super Trouble Shooting team - powerful and nation wide, to stop all the nonsense in hospitals, etc. 2) The biggest and most powerful Consumer Complaints Commission you've ever seen - one phone call will fix your complaint in a day. 3) Establish a Truth Tribunal, to prosecute politicians caught lying and distorting the truth.

Sounds a bit conspiracy theory. I agree that the Republicans would like to protect themselves and their predator-in-chief, but actually destroying all the evidence without leaving gaps, traces, metadata and copies is a hard ask.

Jeez the post was supposed to be joyous. Fir the record I about a year ago an stress echo where you have an echo at rest and you go on the treadmill and when you heart gets above a predetermined maximum safe rate they very quickly do another echo to observe how your heart works under stress. This test has a good rate of detecting blockages. Normally I would post a link but I am on my phone in a park after another highly dangerous walk. It feels like some of these posts are kind of condescending. We use an App called All Trails which gives accurate information about trails and their conditions, elevations etc ass well as currant track and weather. We would average about 3 walks a week although the last few days we have been in the Grampians so multiple walks a day Are usual regime includes a daily short exercise session guided by an app. We alternate between cardio, muscle building and flexibility. So we are not naive idiots wandering off until the bush. We are just sitting in a picnic ground after climbing down and up which if course was a little more arduous to see a magnificent waterfall My heart rate hovered between 90 and 100bpm -
The Ministry of Truth, will soon be releasing new and better truths for us all. Thank you for attention to this matter

BREAKING: Mark Epstein drops a political nuke about the Epstein files — and Republicans are scrambling to hide the fallout. In a stunning turn that should have every American’s hair on fire, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, just detonated a bombshell on live television — and the fallout is already singeing the Republicans’ frantic scramble to look innocent. While House Republicans pretended to “flip” in favor of releasing the Epstein files — after weeks of blocking, delaying, and twisting arms to stop the release — Mark Epstein is calling their bluff. And it’s not pretty. According to Mark, Republicans aren’t suddenly embracing transparency. They’re scrubbing the files — sanitizing them, bleaching them, running them through a political spin-cycle — and then releasing whatever sanitized leftovers make it out alive. That’s right. The full files are allegedly being secretly edited right now at a “facility” in Winchester, Virginia, where GOP operatives are working overtime to delete Republican names before the public ever sees them. You can practically hear the shredders running. And the motive? Mark Epstein says it outright — his brother “definitely had dirt on Trump,” and the emails prove it. For anyone paying attention, this tracks perfectly with Donald Trump's frantic, erratic behavior: first blocking the release of the files, then pressuring Republicans not to sign the discharge petition… only to suddenly flip and demand they sign it. A guilty conscience moves exactly like that. During his interview with News Nation’s Chris Cuomo, Mark Epstein made it clear he doesn’t care about the political fallout — because he is focused on the most important truth of all: Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. And according to him, the “investigation” that declared it a suicide was never a real investigation at all. Mark didn’t mince words. He accused FBI Director Kash Patel of covering up the real cause of Epstein’s death. He even mocked Patel’s audacity, saying the man “wouldn’t know a suicide if it punched him in the face.” This is not a grieving brother grasping at straws. This is a man who says he has sources, documentation, and a mountain of unanswered questions — and that the DOJ’s own reports prove the government never even conducted a homicide-capable investigation. But what really set off air raid sirens across MAGA-world was Mark confirming — repeatedly — that Jeffrey Epstein had kompromat on Donald Trump. He wouldn’t detail the infamous “Bubba” email, but he said this: “Jeffrey told me if he said what he knew about the candidates in 2016, they’d have to cancel the election. He definitely had dirt on Trump.” And not a single Republican wants to talk about THAT part. Instead, they’re busy pretending their sudden push to release the files is some patriotic crusade for the truth — when, according to Mark Epstein, they’ve already gutted the documents. It’s like bragging about turning over your phone to investigators… after wiping it with industrial bleach. And it gets worse. Mark also suggests that Trump received special treatment from Ghislaine Maxwell — that her unusually glowing comments about him were part of a deal. Even Maxwell’s own lawyer hinted she got a "sweet" arrangement. Funny how Trump always seems to land on his feet whenever the world’s worst scandals emerge — almost like someone is protecting him. Republicans spent years telling America that “Democrats were the ones tied to Epstein.” But now, when the receipts are about to come due, they’re caught in a full-blown panic, allegedly stripping their own names out of the files before the public sees them. And the people doing the editing? Trump loyalists. MAGA loyalists. The same crowd that just voted 427-1 — after weeks of sabotage — to release the files as long as they got to edit them first. Mark Epstein didn’t just point a finger — he pointed to a map, a building, and a motive. And the GOP’s sudden tactical retreat only makes them look guiltier. America wanted transparency. Republicans gave us a dry-cleaned crime scene. Stay tuned — because if the sanitized files look this bad, imagine what was removed.

She's not telling us anything we didn't already know. The problem remains... what can we do about the long term fallout, now that DjT has destroyed the already failing democracy thar WAS USA. Our country is a little fish in a big pond, but the uncertain decade or so that follows, will still affect us. The flowchart of global possibilities has many branches, but none of them look good. So my concern is no longer 'What Has Trump Done Now?' My concern is that even after he is gone, (which cannot be soon enough) now that the guardrails are gone from all US administrations, what will the US do? Not only that, but the worst of the nutters and narcissists have taken up residence.

Echo Cardiogram - Ultrasound - Gooey stuff on a wand pressed against the skin. Image of the beating heart on a screen. Electrocardiogram - a dozen wires to contacts stuck over the body. Wired up like an astronaut. This is an ECG. -

Injuries when you are older are harder to recover from. You have to keep moving, but don't overdo it. I've had 4 hamstring tears and 3 desiccated Lower back discs (From lifting Ford V8 engines when young) which have, by doing carefully programmed exercises, become freely Moving. Specific exercises keep the Joints firmer and less likely to be damaged. Be careful HOW you LIFT things. Prolonged effort gets the Heart working It is another "Muscle" after all but you need a check out before heavy exercise. I've not been in favour of doing stress ECG's. It's like testing a Bridge by driving a BIG truck over it. There are safer tests that can be done, and diet and stress avoidance considerations etc How much Plaque is in your Carotid arteries?

Put another way, 'money is made round to go around'. For argument's sake, let's say that each person employed on these projects pays income tax at 25%. That's a lot of moeny being returned to the Treasury. Then, of the other 75% of take-home pay, quite a lot more is returned to Treasury in the form of GST payments arising from living costs. One way for the costs of these major projects to be recouped might be to encourage Austrlian companies to replicate the international construction countries so that the profits from creating the projects remains in Australia. The reason we have foreign investment in these projects is simply because ther are no Australian players in the game.

One Nation is increasing in popularity - that is true. A 2% jump to be precise: https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/9951-federal-voting-intention-november-16-2025,. However, it did fall in two states. QLD, unsurprisingly, registered its biggest gain. And yes, ALP is down 2%. The reality is more and more people do feel left behind, the product if an increasingly unfair distribution of wealth. I would also say it is the disproportionate taxation and burdening middle classes that is also contributing. Couple tha with the owners of both mainstream and social media pedalling the message of their donors/sponsors/advertisers that distract from the real issue and lay blame on various "-ism's", and along comes parties that have policies to suppress democracy and sew further hatred, and you have people like Chump, Farage, etc getting prominance and ultimately power. None of their policies will solve the problems. However, the mainstream parties do have to lift their game, and that also means fighting with fire. Here's an example of the Chumps, Hansons, et al of the world work.. The major parties have to realise the messaging modes have changed and fight back sometimes using the tactics, if not the lies or misleading statements put out by those who will ultimately make lufe hell for many they purport to be the saviour of:

What is wrong with supporting big infrastructure projects? They create economic value on two levels - one is directly/indirectly while the build is going on and then increaseing economic capacity. Many jobs are directly created, investment is made, and then the thing has to be operated and maintained. Then there is the indirect economic consequences of the industries that support it - again during the build and beyond. The second economic return is the capacity it adds to the economy and consumer through workforce mobility. They are far more efficient than adding highways and road networks alone. The plan is to build it in stages and each stage will start operation - starting with the airport rail link in 2033, then the Cheltenham to Box Hill in 2035, then two more stages after that. It can take up to 30 years to deliver it all,yes, but operation will start much sooner, and benefits to the economy have already started. So, why would bebe an issue - especially if the federal government are footing some of the bill.. About time somewhere else other than NSW got the lions share (under SFM and Abbot) If the money wasn't being spent on the SRL, it would be spent on something else. Frankly, the investment is a good thing.

BREAKING: Mary Trump exposes her Uncle Donald after his "quiet, piggy" moment by revealing exactly where his "despicable" misogyny comes from — and it explains so much. Nobody spills the beans quite like family does... "Donald's misogyny runs deep and is actually honestly come by because his entire family was a bunch of misogynists," Mary Trump said on her Youtube channel. "I want to remind you just how in character all this is by showing you a montage of clips from MSNBC. And I also, also while watching it, I want you to pay particular attention to the reactions Donald gets." She then played a montage that included Trump being confronted about calling women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals," a recording of him implying that Megyn Kelly mistreated him because she was menstruating, and him stating that he "never liked horse face." In one segment, he talked about a woman gaining a "massive amount of weight," in another he insulted a woman who accused him of sexual assault by saying "Believe me, she would not be my first choice." Mary Trump's video was prompted by Trump snapping "quiet, piggy" at a female reporter on Air Force One after she dared to ask him about Jeffrey Epstein. "Aside from the grotesque reactions of the people in those crowds," Mary Trump said, referring to the MAGA supporters at his rallies, "which quite frankly explains a lot about how we got here, Donald is admitting something very openly there as he has at other times." "He actually is admitting that he would totally rape a woman, just not somebody who looks like that. Essentially, he's saying he would only rape women he finds attractive," she continued. "I grew up with him. I grew up with these people so again, none of this is surprising," she went on. "What remains surprising to me, even though I shouldn't be surprised by this either I suppose, is that the American people are still willing to put up with his dehumanization of women, his treating them like second class citizens, and the contempt he so obviously has for half of the population." "In the Trump family, girls had no value. Donald's oldest sibling Maryanne was a girl," she said. "My grandfather never once considered her a viable option for taking over the family business that would have been my dad, his oldest son friend. That didn't work out but the next oldest Elizabeth would never have been considered either. So therefore, it fell to Donald who is not only incompetent and unskilled, he was just a terrible, terrible businessman. And my grandfather knew it but what mattered more was that he wasn't a woman. Clearly, Trump inherited his hatred of women from his corrupt, detestable father. This president sees women as sexual objects to be insulted, abused, and discarded. The fact that so many s-called "Christians" support him despite his complete lack of morals tells you everything that you need to know about the religious right in this country. Please like
