"There's been people from as far as Canada and Africa all very excited about what we're doing and would love to come and participate.The event was first held on Yarrie station in the East Pilbara in 2016 and was the dream child of fifth generation pastoralist Annabelle Coppin and livestock handling educator Boyd Holden.
The competition, run by the Kimberley Pilbara Cattleman's Association, tests station workers' cattle skills with a series of challenges.
We should treat our children well too, because chronic stress damages the developing brain. Yet the ABC spreads lies and fear mongers about climate change. Even their so called 'media watch' is corrupt.

32,300 kids banned from school: State to review suspension policiesAdvocacy groups say primary school students are being suspended for behaviours they cannot control. JordsBaker Number should be higher based on what I’ve seen from what kid’s school. Education starts at home and so many kids don’t spend enough time in one.... JordsBaker School should be there for all students, if a child's (including my own) behaviour harms or stops or interferes with others as in violence, bullying or being majorly disruptive then suspension may be best. If one child is stopping a classroom of kids from learning what else? JordsBaker Suspension is okay for the short term, but going home to watch tv or play video games is no punishment. Detention should be done at school in a seperate class room for all years with work papers to do for their grade. Food time should be ofset to the real time ones.

The Morrison government is taking another tilt at convincing parliament to pass laws enabling drug-testing of welfare recipients.The Morrison government is taking another tilt at convincing parliament to pass laws enabling drug-testing of welfare recipients. Do it!!! Every country who cares about their people will do this. Help those who test positive, break the habit, help the people. Can we do the same for politicians, also cut them off if they miss appointments, run late and do not meet their obligations to the nation? Seems we’d save way more $ doing that than this, also - People on Centrelink can’t afford rent and food let alone drugs! Because that will work....instead crime stats, particularly burglary will go up. Already I have beaten one of these fucks senseless with a shovel for trying to break into my house.

Rubbish. When telling an unfortunate truth is 'demonising'. Simple fix - don't do drugs.

School phone ban is moral panic based on no evidenceDepriving children of the technology of their era is damaging their faith in adults, while there is no evidence it will improve their education. Umm no, more to do with turning kids in to goldfish that cant concentrate on a single task at a time. Seriously who are you advocating this? Why do you want western kids to fail?.... Time will tell. Schools that ban devices compared to similar school with devices allowed. Results over time might show effects. No, it’s essential as it’s an unnecessary distraction
