Dave Roberts here. There you are surrounded by fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers. Everybody remembers the game. Nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later. At 2 a.m., you wake up with a fever and your throats on fire. Now what? Urgent care? Close. ER? Slam? Telehealth? Maybe. But the pharmacy's close. You need it a medical emergency kit. These aren't first aid kits. They contain essential prescriptions, use for over 30 common conditions, sinus and ear infection, UTIs, stomach bug, travelers diarrhea and more. On hand before you need them. Use your doctor-developed guidebook to select the right prescription or call their telemedicine doctor standing by. It's like an urgent care and drugstore at home. When you're sick, traveling or stranded, you'll wish you ordered a medical emergency kit.

Big tech company is could be interrogated by the E Safety Commissioner under proposed laws. Labor's digital duty of care legislation will be handed down to Parliament today. It'll give the digital watchdog power to ask engineers and executives questions about certain decisions. The bill is also expected to propose an algorithm opt out feature on platforms. I'm deeply skeptical giving any government the power to decide what you read on your phone. I don't trust big tech companies either but I trust big government just about as much. Are the motives here about harmful content or are they about trying to tilt the political scales? A summary released by Treasury has revealed Jim Charmers was told of the potential impacts his negative gearing changes would have on the housing market. Early modeling showed alterations to negative gearing and a 50% CGT discount would put downward pressure on home prices and upward pressure on rent. The predicted extent of the impact was limited to rents rising $2 a week

and house prices increasingly, increasingly slightly I should say, less than expected over several years. But home prices have dropped more than 3% over the past three months. Barnaby Joyce has clashed with ABCO Sarah Ferguson over one nation's controversial superannuation policy that was announced yesterday. The proposal would allow renters and mortgage holders to access up to a quarter of their super contributions over three years. The party's Treasury spokesperson rejected questioning on potential long-term hits to retirement savings in a testy exchange last night. There's a policy that your party has come up with so we would expect you. The Treasury spokesperson for that party to be a cross-experts. The Treasury spokesperson are not Jesus Christ. I mean, you have to actually give me the details of these things. The parents of two Perth brothers who were killed in Mexico are attending the trial today. Jake and Calum Robinson were killed whilst on a surfing trip in Mexico in 2024 in the Baja

region. Their parents Debra and Martin posting on social media, their attendance in Mexico is incredibly important and overwhelmingly difficult. The pair also say it's not about revenge, it's about truth and justice. Iran claims a deal with Omar and his imminent. That's according to Bloomberg. The deal that's been negotiated for several weeks will focus on control of the state of all moves and will reportedly include details on a temporary safe route for transport and energy supplies. This comes as Iran threatens to tighten its grip on the vital waterway against the United States, the Trump administration, yet to respond to news of any deal. King Charles has penned a letter outlining Prince Harry and his wife Megan's position within the Royal family. In the message written to government and military officials, the head of state said you can, Duchess of Sussex will not resume Royal duties. Despite a return to the UK, the letter went on to say they are no longer working members and addressing the pair as his

and her Royal Highness will not be done. A Buckingham Palace official reinforced the King's message saying Megan and Harry are akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.
