Young workers denied retirement savings "IndyWatch Feed Qld"
A report by Industry Super Australia warns that an outdated law denying under-18 workers super contributions could cost them over $10,000 in the long term.
Approximately 375,000 young workers in Australia are locked out of the retirement system, as they are only eligible for compulsory super contributions if they work over 30 hours per week for the same employer.
Removing this discriminatory threshold would not only be fair to young workers but also remove the administrative burden for employers.
This exclusion affects over 90% of teenage workers who typically work fewer than 30 hours per week.

Diabetes continues to be a significant epidemic in the 21st century, resulting in numerous complications that affect vital organs such as the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and eyes.
In the past decade, significant progress has been made in diabetes management, leading to a reduction in these complications.
Due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes, there is a need for more extensive efforts at the public health level and the development of new therapies to further enhance the prognosis for this prevalent condition.

Western Queensland Winter 2023 Part 2 -Boulia to Cuttaburra Crossing sunshinecoastbirds

| Letter-winged Kite |
Following our travels through Longreach, Winton and Mt Isa (following post) we headed south from Mt Isa to Boulia, with rain dashing hopes for further stops for Kalkadoon Grasswren. It had eased by the time we got to Boulia. Continuing south to Bedourie, the Mitchell grass and gibber plains were a sight to behold: a glorious mosaic of wildflowers, vivid greenery, extensive pools of water and lush vegetation in every direction. The bothersome rains that were reshaping our travel plans had a silver lining.
Not long after Bedourie we located a Letter-winged Kite colony that had been reported earlier. These rare birds, under threat from feral cats, are pure pleasure. We had about 12 adults and immatures soaring high and sometimes low above us, mixing with Black Kites and other raptors. In a line of trees along a small watercourse, a pair of Letter-winged Kites held vigil over a nest containing two well-fledged youngsters. Several nests were present in o...

Sarcoma Awareness Month: Brisbanites shocking cancer diagnosis "IndyWatch Feed Capricornia"
Researchers and advocates are calling for greater funding to support cancer research, particularly Sarcoma, this July for Sarcoma Awareness month.
Sarcoma is a rare and complex cancer that can form anywhere in the body, and with over 80 different subtypes, this makes funding for research vital.

It is known as one of the most common cancers in children, but can impact people of all ages, and speaking with The Wires Aryana Mohmood about her sarcoma journey and the need for more research is Brisbane-based mother and sarcoma survivor, Jacqui Cooper.

In which the pond starts the week with a Killer parade, thanks be unto the Major and the Caterist ... "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"
Jason Clare seriously defamed rocks, and for a nanosecond, the pond thought of taking a defamation action against him on behalf of rocks everywhere, as they do their best to help humanity.. . All the empathy of a rock: Jason Clare accuses Peter Dutton of playing politics in the wake of bombshell Robodebt findings (warning, a click will reward News Corp).
But rocks are loved, rocks are empathetic, rocks are caring, and the rock love you take is equal to the rock love they make. And it's not just the passing fad of pet rocks, still being peddled on Amazon.
Why the pond can remember going to the Ryan-ji Zen temple and contemplating the fifteen most perfectly placed rocks , though it's alleged you can only see the fifteenth stone when you've attained enlightenment. Perhaps thinking of Queensland plods prevented the pond from reaching enlightenment.
Sure minerals and crystals and such like take the limelight with hippies, but if you look around you can get grounding stones for anxiety and panic attacks, and therapy rocks and massage stones and rocks.
Couldn't Clare have found a better, more suitable comparison, and left hapless, cuddly rocks alone? How about Sauron? Clare could even have flung in a joke about one Queensland plod to rule them all. What about all the empathy of a Hannibal Lecter? Darth Vader? Thanos? The Joker? Voldemort has a pretty close matching look - too close for some - and agent Smith is almost an aspirational figure in terms of style and presentation.
