    The thought that came to mind was not any answer (is there one yet?) but that old 1965 song sung by Joan Baez '"There but for fortune go you or I'" Worth listening to (YouTube) it is all still our current world and worse.

    Bunnings customer suffers from injury after a sudden, 'excessive' attack

    The common excuse is that someone who maims, attacks or kills under the influence of drugs should be treated and pay the same consequences as if the person were not taking any drugs. If they do these things, it is still embedded in their psychology and inner thoughts, but when uninhibited...

    Aussies share a 'big worry hanging on our heads' as cost of living continues to rise

    I agree, but perhaps those conditions are not deemed as disability by the powers that be. Perhaps he should consider going back until he is heard, ( do they still have lines of people wanting assistance?)and it is essential to have a Specialist's referral. He may have already done that, too.

    This crucial service is at risk—ensure it continues helping those in need

    What is this Government doing? Cancelling so many essential services and scratching the barrel to get more dollars.
