    ‘It’s not that hard’: Mum slams mispronunciations of daughter’s name–can you get it right?

    Stupid, elitist, toss-pot parents lumbering children w appalling names that will cause the child, not parent, grief through mispronunciation, mis-spelling, bullying, and legal documentation nightmares until such time as the child lawfully changes the ghastly given name to a name less fraught.

    Medicare urgent care clinics spark debate: Game-changing fix or temporary cover-up?

    These urgent care clinics ARE being used instead of seeing the normal GP for non urgent, standard issues. So grossly unfair for all ppl who need URGENT medical attention - forced to wait behind a long string of (mostly ethnic families)!! Better to go to hospital to be triaged appropriately...
