I want to know about our world from atoms to stars: as it was, as it is and as it will be.
I care about living things.
I abhor war, nuclear power/armaments, luddites and lies

Australia: Brett Sutton admitted some pandemic rules were “probably never necessary,” like wiping groceries, avoiding handshakes or droplets spread.
He said, “Through a 100 years of understanding infectious diseases, we overemphasised surfaces or droplets, when the reality was, it’s in our breath”

As stated here: Australians used to have a fabulous universal healthcare system built by Labor.
It was turned into an expensive & less fair two tier system by the LNP.
We would be better off going BACK to *our* former system that’s more like Canada’s.
Ditto education. We should be like Finland.
