A British teenager with a dairy allergy who died after eating chicken coated with buttermilk at a Byron burger restaurant had been 'reassured' by the wording of the menu, a coroner has ruled.

|A British teenager with a dairy allergy who died after eating chicken coated with buttermilk at a Byron burger restaurant had been "reassured" by the wording of the menu, a coroner has ruled. Owen Carey had a fatal reaction after eating a chicken burger while celebrating his 18th birthday with his family on April 22, 2017.

He collapsed alongside the London Eye, less than an hour after first experiencing an allergic reaction to his meal, and was taken to St Thomas' Hospital, where he died. Southwark Coroner's Court heard how Mr Carey, of Crowborough, East Sussex, did not realise the chicken had been marinated because the buttermilk ingredient was not listed on the menu.

If you're that sensitive, why on earth would you eat at a burger bar?

Unfortunate that the now deceased victim's typically depleted 21C immune system meant that every mouthful not specially prepared 2 cater 4 his own highly specific dietary needs held poison pill potential equal 2 the alleged cause of death.

If I had that kind of allergy I wouldn't let people have that kind of control over whether I live or die.

Liu appears to be ‘naive rather than disloyal’ | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Gladys Liu appears to have been “naive rather than disloyal” and a “political babe-in-the-woods rather than crassly self-serving” like former Labor senator Sam Dastyari, Sky News host Peta Credlin says based “on the evidence so far”. \n\nThe embattled Liberal MP is under pressure to resign following revelations she was a member of three organisations linked to the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nMs Credlin noted it’s “still early days”, but “to the best of our knowledge” Ms Liu never pocketed Chinese money for her personal use nor has she directly contradicted government policy on the South China Sea.\n\nShe suggested that from Liu’s perspective, belonging to a series of local bodies sponsored by the Chinese government was probably the “equivalent” of being a surf club patron or an honorary member of Rotary. \n\nHowever, she noted involvement with these organisations “prompts legitimate questions”.\n\nMs Credlin said “once, maybe, that’s all this sort of association would have been, but it’s far from innocent now that China has emerged as a massive strategic challenge for Australia and for our allies.' \n\n“For the moment, at least, Gladys Liu is a problem that shouldn't be hard for the government to resolve, provided it is all as she claims it is.\n\n“This is not an issue about race; it's an issue about Chinese influence and Australia's national interest.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia and this is why god stopped her breeding.

PM dubs comments on Gladys Liu's China links 'grubby' | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison says the only thing embattled MP Gladys Liu is guilty of is giving an awkward interview and the criticism levelled against her has “grubby undertones”, but he stopped short of branding the attack racist. \n\nLabor’s Mark Dreyfus tried and failed to push Ms Liu into making a statement in the House about her “disastrous” comments live on Sky News Tuesday night. \n\nFollowing her interview, Ms Liu released a statement confirming her ties with the Australian Jiangmen General Commercial Association and the United Chinese Commerce Association of Australia.\n\nThe member for Chisholm also admitted to previously holding an honorary role with the Guangdong Overseas Exchange Association, which has ties to a propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist Party and works to influence foreign governments. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia ScottMorrisonMP GladysLiuMP So can I have a clumsy drug test and claim I forgot?
