In the case of Adam Scott, with the PGA Tour suspended, he quickly reacted to a call from someone he had never met.

“He didn’t know him from Adam,” is a comment becoming increasingly common in COVID-19’s year of abandoned sport, as high-profile athletes have time to reach out to the less fortunate.

Ross and his wife, Pam, lived at Riverside Oaks for eight years but, as his condition worsened, they moved to their son’s 32 acre property near Dural. Pam says: “Ross thinks a shed on the property is the Riverside Oaks club house and he talks about Adam all the time, waiting for Adam’s call to play a round of golf.”So, as the cancer and confusion advanced, daughter Leigh made contact with Adam when he was briefly in Queensland.

“He’s in a wheelchair and can hardly stand up but Adam must have sensed this and said he gets wobbly in his legs, too.”

Scott Morrison's approval rating still rising among voters in virus crisisThe Prime Minister&x27;s approval rating continues to rise during the coronavirus crisis, according to Newspoll, but the Coalition and Labor are neck and neck on a two-party preferred basis. doing a great job! Easily fooled. And when they come to the realization that shutting down the entire economy, and printing billions in 'free' (taxpayer funded) money has set the wheels in motion for the biggest economic depression in the country's history, will they still hold this opinion?

Novel celebrating Wiradjuri language wins Book of the Year at major literary awardsTara June Winch's novel The Yield has won three major prizes at the NSW Premier's Literary Awards, one of the country's richest awards for writers. Latham's gonna have a tantrum tomorrow. Tune in for it on twitter from 7am. Winch said, 'I hope this book will spur the department of education into implementing our first languages into our core curriculum.' What all 363? Okay let's just do 28 of them. Billions required for training teachers nationwide to speak just one. Oh wait, socialism will do it Who cares. When you have children who are abused, don't go to school, are raised in dangerous environments and the government can do not a thing because the system will call it prejudice then language is lost already.

Lockdown spending habits will outlive coronavirusSpending habits forged during the coronavirus lockdown are set to permanently reshape consumer behaviour in Australia. Fully sponsored by Team Scomo mountain bike rider here. That is a strong possibility and consumers might be more selective in their future purchases. Consumers may ask themselves “do I need it or do I just want it” Fascinating how FakeNewsMedia , from day 1, have been talking about this 'permanent change' to our lives. Its as if there is a hidden agenda subversively being implemented without our knowledge
