Corrupt Democrat administrations have corrupted aid disposal. Aid is an essential part of foreign policy, but why spend it on getting domestic enemies elected?

Instead of lockdown, why not treat sick people and let healthy ones work? Is it not the case the death rate is falling towards 800 per million, or 0.08%?

For hundreds of years, our story has been bound up with Christianity. It is our taproot to the history of civilisation and our link with the future. From it springs our belief in the essential dignity of man and his right to decide his own destiny; our belief in liberty, responsibility, duty and justice.

In the final week before Saturday’s Queensland election, record numbers of voters have already had their say at the ballot box in what is widely touted as the most important election in the state’s recent history.
The two major parties are standing in all 93 seats, with a host of minor party, ultra minor and independent candidates sitting in a significant number as well.
Political scientist and Griffith University lecturer Dr Paul Williams said there were at least 32 marginal seats where the incumbent held with less than a 5 per cent margin. This could tip the election in either direction, with at least nine “must watch” seats.
Dr Williams said whichever party snapped up the three key Townsville seats would “most likely win government”.
Votes for Greens are likely to increase in most electorates, but Dr Williams said support for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party could dip, and Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party wouldn’t gain traction.
Meanwhile, Katter’s Australian Party was likely to retain its two seats, but not gain any others.
Preferences will be important, although fewer people are following how-to-vote cards.
The LNP and Labor both have 15 seats each with margins under 5 per cent; they’re considered must-win for either party.
ABC chief elections analyst Antony Green said the nine key seats that could decide the election were Bonney, Burleigh, Caloundra, Currumbin, Gaven, Glass House, Maryborough, Pumicestone and Theodore.

Ousted health minister Jenny Mikakos continues Dan Andrews criticism for not easing restrictionsA Victorian politician has unloaded on Daniel Andrews, describing Melbourne as a “hellhole” and the state government “despicable”.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing a storm of criticism over his decision not to lift the state’s lockdown sooner.
Liberals MP Tim Wilson accused Mr Andrews of breaking a “contract” with the people of Victoria
“Victorians have consistently done the right thing,” Mr Wilson said in an interview with 2GB breakfast host Ben Fordham.
“It is despicable that the State government is blaming a northern suburbs family for their own systems failures. Daniel Andrews has broken the contract he had with Victorians. It should be honoured.”
Mr Wilson’s criticism intensified, with the Victorian politician adding: “Melbourne is a hellhole. So many of my friends have left or are wanting to leave. Daniel Andrews has wrecked the joint.”

Coronavirus Australia live: Family claims DHHS stuff-up led to Melbourne clusterThe family at the centre of the new virus cluster in Melbourne's north have claimed misinformation from health authorities resulted in the virus spreading.
The family at the centre of the new COVID-19 cluster in Melbourne's north have claimed misinformation from health authorities resulted in the virus spreading.
The family, who have asked not to be identified, told The Age they were cleared to leave isolation by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) days before one of their children unknowingly attended school while infectious.
The Year 5 boy attended East Preston Islamic College for two days while infectious on October 19 and 20, sparking a cluster of at least 39 active coronavirus cases.
The family has hit back at claims from authorities they were “expressly told not to” send the boy to school, with an email revealing the family was cleared to return to school and work days before.
Premier Daniel Andrews delayed lifting lockdown restrictions as a result of the cluster, saying there would be a “pause” while authorities waited for the results from a testing blitz.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert moved from Qarchak prison in Iran to unknown locationAustralian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert, convicted of espionage in a secret trial, has been moved from a notorious prison in Iran.
A British-Australian academic detained in Iran has been moved from a notorious prison to an unknown location, a human rights organisation has said.
Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested in Tehran in 2018 and convicted for espionage in a secret trial. She was sentenced to 10 years despite no evidence of her alleged crimes having been publicly presented.
The Iranian Association of Human Rights Activists has said Ms Moore-Gilbert was moved on Saturday from Qarchak prison, according to The Guardian.
It was reported her belongings were also moved, but there was no information on where she was taken.
“Obviously one hopes the move might be good news for Kylie, but we don’t know yet,” Elaine Pearson, Australia director of Human Rights Watch, told The Guardian.

PM’s ‘profound disappointment’ at continued Victoria lockdownPrime Minister Scott Morrison has lashed out at Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews over his decision not to lift coronavirus restrictions.
The Prime Minister said the continued lockdown suggested the state government was not confident its health system was capable of suppressing transmission of the virus.
The Victorian government said issues its contact tracing system that led to its second outbreak had significantly improved.
Mr Morrison said Melbourne’s ongoing lockdown cost the city close to 1000 jobs per day.
“At some point, you have to move forward and put your public health systems to work in a bid to reclaim the jobs that have been lost,” Mr Morrison said.
“Victoria’s public health systems are either up to the task of dealing with future outbreaks or they are not. The decision to keep businesses closed suggests that there is still not sufficient confidence within the government that their systems can support reopening.”

Four words that doomed Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ relationshipIt was meant to be one of the happiest moments of Princess Diana’s life but four words flippantly uttered by Prince Charles sealed her fate.
The most infamous, and deeply uncomfortable moment, comes towards the end when Carthew prompts them of their feelings, “And in love?”
Diana, immediately out of the blocks, adamantly said “of course”.
Charles, looking curiously pleased with himself, followed up with, “whatever ‘in love’ means”.
