Australia to use MDMA and LSD to treat depression.


(ABC South West: Roxanne Taylor)

"A study by John Hopkins Health, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology last year, found that under carefully controlled settings, psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy was a promising approach that could "lead to significant and durable improvements in depression".

Aboriginal communities in Alice Springs banned from buying alcohol and now banned from receiving mail.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-07/australia-post-suspends-deliveries-alice-springs-safety-concerns/102061966

The incidents allegedly involved the use of knives and rocks, and happened over a period of several months.

"Australia Post delivery personnel have a reasonable expectation to work and operate in a safe environment,"
the letter reads.

Will be interested to see which politician wants to front up and fix this issue. His excellency, Mr N. Body.

Top news in London concerning Australia.

50 y.o. Australian man arrested for possession of an AK-47.


Officers found the imitation weapon inside an empty and unlocked car that had been left in a church carpark. (NSW Police)

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65120330

Turns out it was a bong.

"The man was later charged with possession of an unauthorised firearm and intimidation.

He has been remanded in custody and his case will be heard in April.

Police will allege in court that the seized item was a bong, a water-filled filtration device used to smoke marijuana and other herbal substances, local media reported."

93% of the wealth gained in Australia in the last decade (2009-2019) was earned by the top 10% of wealthy Australians:



https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-12/inequality-on-steroids-as-rich-take-more-of-the-gains/102200878

In the 1950's, it was the complete opposite.

I would hazard a guess that in 2019-2029, that around 98% of the wealth gain will be earned by the top 10% of wealthy Australians.

I'd expect a name like that to belong to a ruckman, not a runner.

NT arts minister calls for national probe into 'damaging' claims of white interference in Indigenous art

Aboriginal dot paintings were invented by a white guy, Geoffrey Bardon in 1971. He taught students and then women at a refuge how to paint on canvas and the like.

https://www.ninbella.com/blogs/blog/dot-painting-origin-and-reasons#:~:text=Dot%20painting%20originated%20almost%2050,draw%20symbols%20in%20the%20sand.

Fast forward 52 years.

Aboriginal Art in 2023 is now under the spotlight after it was revealed it was being orchestrated, painted and sold under the guidance of white people.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-10/nt-arts-minister-calls-for-investigation-indigenous-art-apy-acc/102323476


South Australian arts minister Andrea Michaels says the claims are "very troubling".(ABC News)


"Absolutely Serious"

Mr Paech said Australia's national art institutions needed to postpone exhibitions and award ceremonies involving Indigenous artists until the matter was thoroughly investigated.

"I think that all national institutions [in the Northern Territory] or in Canberra or in South Australia, need to put a hold on until an investigation is done into those allegations," he said.

Australian farmer feeds chocolate to his cows.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-01/dairy-cows-in-south-australia-eating-chocolate-and-lollies/102411394

James Mann said "the cows like it, and they do not seem to have a preference for any particular type of chocolate or lollies."

"Whatever Cadbury is making and don't quite make the grade, our cows are pretty happy to see it — blocks of chocolate, snakes, Cherry Ripes, nougat, honeycomb — anything that Cadbury makes the cows get to have a chew on it," he says.

James Mann's 4,000 'chocolate-eating' cows produce milk to make "Iced Coffee" drinks for Farmers Union.

James commented "I'm hoping someone's handling the strawberry milk from another dairy."

Nicho Hynes got his debut in State of Origin - Game One last night.

Although NSW did not come away with the chocolates, it was heart-warming to see the South Australian crowd cheer him on when he came onto the field.

Only in Victoria - Episode 2.

Melbourne to decriminalise Public Drunkenness.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-04/vic-victoria-second-sobering-centre-to-open-in-st-kilda/103065060


The facility will operate under new laws that decriminalise public drunkenness.(ABC News: Dane Meale)

Melbourne has built racially distinct cooling-off facilities known as "Sobering Centres" for people who are:

(a) Drunk; and
(b) Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

The six-bed centre will be staffed 24/7 with nurses and outreach support workers.

The government has already announced a larger 20-bed sobering-up facility for all members of the community will open on November 27 in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Collingwood.

Northern Territory Australian of the Year

Blair McFarland

Quite an achievement, Blair overcome the petrol-sniffing epidemic in outback Australia by helping introduce a low aroma fuel mixture called Opal.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-06/blair-mcfarland-wins-nt-australian-of-the-year-2024/103070566

"The government, to its credit, rolled out Opal into communities including Alice Springs eventually. And sniffing went down by 95 per cent pretty much overnight," Mr McFarland said.

Substance abuse of petrol has since been replaced by drinking 'hand sanitizer' and use of crystal methamphetamine.

Alive Springs and nearly all Northern Territory towns have re-imposed a controversial policy directed at Aboriginal communities that restricts the sale of alcohol.
