Casey thinks she wasted her vote last time — so she's asked Antony Green a simple questionCasey Thatcher remembers being taught how to vote as a Year 6 student, but she doesn't remember the specifics. Aren't the instructions right there on the paper? Doesn't make a good case for lowering the voting age to 16 years when a twenty-something can't follow voting instructions on the ballot papers. Given that politicians represent the views and interests of their party rather than those of the people that supposedly represent, all votes are wasted votes. auspol

Morrison said all the right things after Christchurch, but his history tells another storyMorrison's call for an end to tribalism would have been more potent if his side of politics had not made it their standard modus operandi in the past 25 years. Did he tho? The ABC playing progressive purity tests over the death of 50 people. Classy as always. Morrison sat sprawled, snappish and evasive on the project a few days ago and had the temerity to yap repeatedly that soft toned, spoken over Wahleed wouldnt let him speak (monopolise and direct). Australia was hoping for Ardern but got a souless cad. ABC is beholden. It shows.

'A long way to go': one-third of NSW election candidates are womenMore than one-third of candidates in the NSW election are women, led by the Liberal Party's Gladys Berejiklian who could become the state's first elected female premier. EstherHjHan I don't care what sex a person is for politics. The selection process should be fair. We have enough duds now. Some talent please. Sex is only one variable. Another could be age: have groups based on decade: 20-29; 30-39 etc. Why sex? Are you saying women are different? EstherHjHan 90% of parliament is made up of private schooled lawers/union elites and 99% landed gentry and traitors. But sure I'm sure things will be more representive with a mere change in gender. EstherHjHan You going to push for more female construction workers and more female road workers? You feminists are so hypocritical.

'Have you got insurance?': the US-style question finding its way to Australian hospitalsIn a warped reversal of the US system, it is actually patients who do have private health insurance who potentially face a nightmare when they enter hospital. Oh FFS. Sensationalist crap from The Age. Totally different context, and you know it. It effects how they treat you. Yep. A question that had been asked for the last 20 years. I reckon that bandwagon must be over capacity by now. As a former nurse I can guarantee it has no bearing at all on the care you receive.

'Have you got insurance?': the US-style question finding its way to Australian hospitalsIn a warped reversal of the US system, it is actually patients who do have private health insurance who potentially face a nightmare when they enter hospital. ColinJKruger Please be very clear - this is cost shifting/gouging by state health departments - medical staff derive no benefit, treat purely publicly and will be unaware that patients are privately admitted ColinJKruger Perhaps if Health was better funded and better managed services wouldn’t be trying get funds where they can . This includes trying to claw back money from Medicare ,health funds not to mention retired staff members ! broomstick33 ColinJKruger I don’t understand why people have private health hospital cover in the first place. I used mine years ago for breast cancer surgery thousands out of pocket, other women I knew received surgery free in public hospital from same surgeon.
