Helen and I walked 11 kilometres earlier this week to make sure we could walk around #Uluru on my 95th birthday. Did it in 3 hours 15 minutes. Will need to walk faster at Uluru but we are in with a chance. The faster I walk the less my #arthritis hurts.

With goodwill may I suggest to @albomp.bsky.social & @jimchalmers.bsky.social that they foster #intergenerationalpartnerships that create small businesses and also allow pensioners to earn wages up to amount of #pension without incurring loss of pension.

Rises in interest rates cause pain but its interesting to compare eras. When Helen & I got our first home in 1958 it cost 4000 pounds (8000 dollars). Our mortgage interest rate was 4.5%. Now costs have risen unjustifiably & must come down. Been too much greed in #construction & #property markets.

President Trump welcomed Xi Jinping of China for a state visit that was heavy on pomp and ceremony. But surprisingly little time was spent on the issues that most divide the two superpowers.
