    Good on Hollie Hughes for giving her resignation from the Liberal Party.

    Politics is corrupt as hell.

    Politicians don’t care about us Australians at all- they only care about their pay package.

Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard πŸš—πŸ™οΈπŸ“»- Monday, 7th September
Q: Is early access to superannuation a good idea for first-time buyers?
Experts describe it as a trade-off: it could help with housing affordability in the short term but may harm retirement security and long-term investments; support is mixed.
Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard πŸš—πŸ™οΈπŸ“»- Monday, 7th September
Q: What should families do to protect themselves after the Mathspace breach?
Be vigilant with emails, avoid clicking on suspicious links, review affected accounts, and monitor for unusual activity, as email addresses are likely to be targeted in follow-up scams.
'Why I quit' - The ACT principal taking a stand
Q: Why did you quit the job?
The position in the school became untenable and underperformance measures were used against her, creating a hostile environment that made continuing in the role untenable.
'Cooking royalty' - Maggie Beer's tips and reaction to Australian Restaurant Awards
Q: What is the difference between a cook and a chef?
Beer explains that she has never trained in someone else's kitchen and therefore does not call herself a chef, emphasizing her identity as a cook who develops food independently rather than as a formally trained chef.
The myths surrounding the use-by and best-before dates
Q: What is the difference between used by and best before?
A used by label is a safety label indicating you should consume the product by that date for health and safety reasons, whereas a best before label relates to product quality and does not automatically mean the product is unsafe to consume after that date.
