We humans are a funny lot, especially our weird sentimentality towards animals. We may sniff and shake our heads at the worst atrocities committed against our fellow humans but nothing stokes the flames of outrage like enormities committed against animals. Especially our closest animal companions, dogs. There is something about
Remember when we locked whole states down and banned people from even gathering in their homes because of the ’flu? Yet more people die from the ’flu in Australia in a bad season than have from the China virus – and that without the obsessive over-counting of deaths and infections
Yesterday, I challenged Australian PM Scott Morrison to take the lead in rescuing Australia from the clutches of little dictator premiers and public health bureaucrats.

Finally, we have had a sensible suggestion from a politician, and it wasn’t from Jacinda Ardern either. Aussie Prime Minister Scott Morrison has suggested we stop talking about cases. A focus on case numbers was very important when we knew nothing about this virus and whether our hospital system
