Measles has killed a school age child. The child was not vaccinated. It has been 10 years since anyone has died from measles. It was eradicated in the US thru vaccines. But dangerous dopes like RFK Jr made money scaring ppl into not vaccinating their kids.

Dutton today: “I’ve never done well at shares, which is why I probably followed my mum & dad’s advice to stick to property” Narrator: He's such an everyday, apple-pie sort of guy who's always failed with shares - except for that 1 time in Jan 09 when he randomly invested in 3 banks. #auspol

What is the ABC actually defending here? Clearly, not its ‘editorial integrity’. The Lattouf case has revealed it as an internally crippled, nobbled, and hopelessly politicised organisation of vacuous careerists who are clueless about its mission.
