NDIA rejected a vision-impaired person's request for a $7000 mobility scooter because his inability to drive a car "did not result from low vision" but rather due to laws barring people with low vision from holding a license. Nuts! Went to court, NDIA lost, had go buy the scooter and pay costs.

People heading down brown river to a steep waterfall. Person (Scott Morrison) on shore "We're now in a stage of shit creek where you just can't make paddles free"
Favourite Jon Kudelka cartoon. From a time during COVID when Morrison was saying tests shouldn't be free, but really could apply to anything.
Such a sad loss. Loved his art, his sharp humour and piercing insight.

Medical research matters. It’s great to see the govt give $40 million to FightMND to improve data collection, access to clinical trials and new therapies for motor neurone disease. Neale Daniher is an extraordinary man, and this funding helps cement his legacy.
