In great timing I've written 350 words about this for this Thursday's editorial in The Land... "It takes a lot to drive a farmer to rally outside parliament, and many of us simply do not have the time to tune into every sitting week online." www.theland.com.au/story/9345108

Political bickering is a luxury those in the bush can no longer afford

The cost of point-scoring makes waves far beyond the city limits.

Dr Kostalas writes the seething rage so many of us in regional Australia feel at the completely preventable healthcare inequity baked into the system. www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-and-wellness/i-m-among-the-doctors-our-system-rejects-this-is-why-regional-healthcare-is-dying-20260804-p60lbj.html

I’m among the doctors our system rejects. This is why regional healthcare is dying

We are told the regions cannot attract specialists. This is not true. They cannot keep them.

NSW Farmers Conference kicks off today, and it's already getting spicy. As usual, screaming into the void for city journo friends in Sydney - send me a DM or a text if you want to come along, or need some phone numbers, you'll never get this many farmers in one room any other time of year!

"The Guardian is aware that at least nine of the musicians who played in the Sydney concerts are now helping the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) with a workplace inquiry about the events surrounding the performance."

The pianist from the audience at La La Land in Concert was a global feelgood story – but all was not what it seemed

Two orchestra members from the Sydney performance allege tensions behind the scenes were the cause of pianist failing to appear after intermission

I am absolutely fine my lovelies - but if you are a journalist doing your job these days, more fuckers than usual are sniveling around in the dirt looking for ways to try & shame or silence you. This is happening more than people realise and should be called out www.deepcutnews.com/p/political-...
