"Australians were getting this vaccine for free. Now they could pay up to $180" "Australians could now pay anywhere up to $180 for a COVID-19 vaccination, depending on which pharmacy they attend, with one retailer telling SBS News it was unlikely to stock it at all."

Australians were getting this vaccine for free. Now they could pay up to $180
It comes after an immunisation program shake-up, with providers now able to set the price at their discretion.

By early next week we'll have announced 88 candidates. And we're honestly chuffed to see the likes of Monica Smit describing this as 'VERY concerning'.
A screenshot of a post on X by Monica Smit (@reignitedem). The post reads 'It’s VERY concerning that the VIC Socialists have enough members to find that many commies to run as candidates!!! 

It’s critical everyone in Victoria volunteers for One Nation!'

It shows a screenshot of a list of parties and the number of candidates they're running in the state election. Showing that Vic Socialists has annnounced 85 candidates out of a possible 88.

The timing of Trump's full betrayal is honestly baffling. He knows the midterms are going to be very difficult for his party and that most Americans support Ukraine. The logical thing to do to boost his standing would be to increase his support for Ukraine. ​Instead, he does the exact opposite.
