Ned Kelly, a national icon known for his contribution to our culture and heritage was never awarded a state memorial service, presumably because of his “crook” status.

Australians should consider under-16’s being denied access to the vital positives of social media - things like support for marginalised or disadvantaged social groups. A ban would limit access to peer support and information.

There is widespread and well-founded scepticism. Is this ban going to open up a diabolical can of worms? Sure, the platforms face huge fines for non-compliance, but does it mean that mums and dads and teachers have to become the police?

The childish antics of the Liberals over yes / no / maybe net zero is proof positive that it will be a very long time before – if ever – they get a sniff of power.
Ironically, this should give certainty to investors and business to proceed with confidence in the lucrative renewables future.

What about the bigger picture ?
These statistics become meaningless when we remember that Australia has the dishonour of being one of the world’s top exporters of fossil fuels.
The climate cynicism of the Albanese Government seems akin to a bottomless coalpit.

Hang on a minute!
If the party had voted to keep net zero, Sussan Ley would likely have said, "I am deeply concerned about the devastating effects climate change will have on my grandchildren. That’s why we are committed to net zero.”

“F***ing crooked politicians,” declares the vast law-abiding, honest and hard-working majority of Australians.
But it's a waste of energy because Albanese, Marles & Co must have selective hearing when it comes to their Labor mates - no matter how corrupt.

A state memorial for Ned Kelly would be more meaningful. After all, he was/is a person of national significance unlike Richardson. Now, Ned's a part of our folklore. He rebelled against corruption. Richo "the crook" revelled in it.
