I am more worried about the damage to children by exposure to some of the stuff on-line Roseanne. Bad stuff. Yes, data collection is a concern, but let's face it, our data is collected by endless orgs that can & do get hacked. Airlines, banks, superannuation companies, health funds, etc etc.

It's disturbing to see veterans in the ACT are reporting that they can't find a GP or a specialist with open books - and that DVA cards are being refused. If any veterans are having this experience, please reach out - I'm keen to look into this further. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Is there a local police presence, for example? They could hold keys? Agree more detail is needed, but reads to me as no local staff, therefore no access physically possible, but it doesn't actually say that.

Seems to me to be yet another example of health system shortages in regional & remote areas. Definitely reads like there was no-one there to provide access to either the clinic or the ambulance. Surely there could be an arrangement with a resident to hold keys for emergencies?
