After being missing for two days, a sheepdog was discovered watching over a mother sheep and her newborn lamb in a meadow. The owner was proud that the dog had protected them for two days without eating or drinking and gave it meat as a reward

What an incredible human!

Jordan Adams just ran the London marathon with a 25kg fridge strapped to his back to raise money for frontotemporal dementia.

He ran alongside his brother.

The fridge represents the invisible weight people carry that nobody else can see.

Their mum Geraldine was diagnosed with FTD at just 47.

She's one of 12 family members they've lost to the disease.

Two years after losing her, both brothers found out they carry the MAPT gene mutation.

A 99.9% chance they'll both be diagnosed with FTD themselves. They'll likely become symptomatic in their early 40s.

Today they're in Ireland beginning 32 more marathons across all 32 counties together.

They've already raised nearly £500,000. 
They want to reach a million.

Northern Territory Chief Minister @LiaFinocchiaro is right when she says that this is the worst possible time to impose higher taxes on our essential oil and gas industry.

WA Premier Roger Cook confirmed yesterday that a new tax on the gas industry would not be good for WA. Imposing even higher taxes on gas companies would hit WA hardest, because the gas industry is a key driver of WA’s economy & energy security. The facts ➡️https://t.co/3tlr2ekwgG

You might have heard the claim that Australia should tax its oil and gas industry the same way Norway does.

But that comparison simply doesn't stack up.

25% tax on Australia's gas industry will destroy investment in new gas supply at a time when energy security is paramount.

Our analysis shows it would result in an effective tax rate for some companies of 80 to 90%.

Don’t be gaslit by false claims about the Australian gas industry’s tax contribution.

The facts are that industry is Australia’s 2nd largest corporate taxpayer, contributing $21.9B in taxes & royalties in 2024–25.
