our local member gets flown into and out of town by the RAAF at each end of parliamentary sessions. It's only a 4 hour drive to Canberra.

thank you for writing and talking about this. I have always wondered with the only way to diagnose endo is through invasive surgery, then how many are undiagnosed. There are also so many barriers to getting diagnosed and for me it took over 25 years to get a diagnosis. I remember crying with relief that I had Severe Endo, I finally an answer. But having Severe Endo comes with a cost to personal wellbeing. A diagnosis only provides an idea of what is wrong. I can only hope that future generations of women also have an answer on how to treat the disease.

I have no sympathy for CEO's who are proffering millions off destruction of our homes, but their homes are "sacred." The earth isn't dying. it's being murdered and thebmurderers have names and addresses, get a new job, and get out of the way of change Woodside.

How the state correspondent or LNP comes officer could make a comment about NSW Labor being synonymous with corruption after the 12 years of NSW LNP, the constant changing of leaders due to corruption inquiries, is really amazing. Even the failure to poit out that Perrottet was never elected by the people of NSW to be premier as he alluded to in his own speech. I know legacy media can be precious, but listen to that pod back and tell me it didn't sound like two Menzian styled LNP voters and I'll show you a person who cannot identify underlying bias. Honestly I was taken aback when the male voice was identified as the Guardian state political correspondent and not a former LNP communications director. Just wow

I hope Tate is put in jail for a very long time, bankrupted, & discredited his kind of toxic opinions, views & violence are the very reason we have laws to keep society safe from people like him who have no morals, ethics, conscience, scruples or humanity his type of dissociative disorder in a world full of social media access should be cause to act & bring criminal charges society MUST shut down men promoting toxic masculinity

Stupid comment was made over letting the water go and keeping Warragamba Dam water level at 60% earlier. The rivers didn't have such a capacity for almost two years.

have you been to the ICU ward lately? It's predominantly filled with people who have made bad lifestyle choices their whole lives. with the least respect for health as can be achieved, whilst maintaining a pulse. no exercise, deep fried starch and sugar.

these laws are a move towards totalitarianism, the fact that the government's can decide what is 'vallid' protest says it all. I have been an activist for three decades and have employed these exact tactics across Australia and the world, they are always non violent and are very useful to get the point across, making the comfortable, uncomfortable is the point.

is 'Full Story' aware that in the description of the show content there's a large advertisement for Peta Credlin's Sky News program? .... tone deaf & utterly inappropriate

Good episode, however, you twice referred to the victim as having taken her own life. The coroner has not yet made that determination
