To every Australian banging on this morning on talkback radio about wanting ZERO migration, I concede. You can have it. As long as you are ok with the high chance of ZERO emergency medical care when you’re sick. ZERO aged care when you’re old. ZERO fresh food when you’re hungry.

Surging Measles Outbreaks May Fuel Mumps And Other Infections
Mumps outbreaks may be fueled by two things—waning immunity and immune amnesia following measles. We are likely to see more of both as fewer people vaccinate.

"The hidden harms of medical gaslighting" Fibromyalgia, Long COVID, endometriosis, chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmune disorders put patients at higher risk of “medical gaslighting,” where genuine clinical concerns are dismissed or invalidated without proper medical evaluation.
 A screenshot of an online article from the American Psychological Association website. The large bold headline reads, "The hidden harms of medical gaslighting," with the subheading, "Researchers are leading efforts to better support patients with difficult-to-diagnose conditions." The piece is by Heather Stringer, dated October 1, 2026, and is tagged with three blue oval buttons: "Health Care," "Health Equity," and "Chronic Illness." Below the text, a photograph shows a Black woman with braids looking highly distressed and overwhelmed while talking on a smartphone. She has her eyes closed tightly and her left hand pressed against her forehead in frustration.
