"When I went into ICU when I was really ill, I was way overweight … and, you know, I was too fat."

His spokesman said the Prime Minister was "mindful" of the possible impact on struggling broadcasters and online businesses from the ad ban, but that "obesity is one of the biggest health crises that the country faces".

Authorities need to focus on the domestic abuse 'epidemic' within Indigenous communities | Sky News AustraliaThe final draft of the Closing the Gap Partnership Agreement indicates it is more concerned about imprisoned abusers within the Indigenous community than the woman and children who were their victims, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi.\n\nMs Panahi said reports of the final agreement pinpointed the primary focus as reducing the level of incarceration in Indigenous communities, effectively sidestepping the target to reduce violence against women and girls over the age of 15 by 50 per cent. \n\nStatistics showed Indigenous females are 35 times more likely to be victims of domestic abuse than other Australian women. \n\n“Domestic violence is not just a crisis in Indigenous communities, it is an epidemic that is a national disgrace,” Ms Panahi said. \n\n“And yet taxpayer-funded Our Watch, which is supposed to combat the scourge of domestic violence, blames colonization and white settlement for the high rates of abuse suffered by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children.” \n\nShe said gender-equality is often touted by taxpayer funded organisations, such as Our Watch, as “the key to eradicating violence against women”. \n\n“Instead of targeting resources to communities where violence against women is endemic and having an honest discussion about the links between poverty, alcohol and domestic violence, Our Watch claims 'rigid gender roles and stereotyped constructions of masculinity and femininity' are drivers of violence against women,” she said. \n\n“The very folk who supposedly care so much about black lives that they're willing to hold marches during a pandemic are strangely silent about black on black violence and the lack of support for women and children in the most at-risk communities.”\n RitaPanahi Degenerate race.

Although, I 'guessed'. The INTERESTING QUESTIONS ARE: - WHAT DATA DID THEY COLLECT? - WHAT DID THEY DO WITH IT? - DID THEY SELL IT ON? - *WHO* HAD *ACCESS* TO IT? carawaters How about the accc stamp out over priced petrol ⛽️ by petrol companies carawaters It won't make any difference because any fines are paid by the shareholders NOT Google staff involved in the misleading conduct.
