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. Order online in minutes and it's shipped to your door and say $45 with my promo code blue at urgentcarekit.com slash blue. That's promo code blue at urgentcarekit.com slash blue.

Yep. The federal government is being called to extradite Australian-born gang leaders living abroad. Attorney General Michelle Roland has reportedly not made an application for an interpol red notice on New South Wales crime figures. These include exiled coconut cartel leader Anthony Poulet and members of the Alamedine clan. Oppositions spokeswoman Michelle Cash has told the Daily Telegraph the government needs to be held accountable as gang-line violence increases. This comes as two men have been killed in Sydney this week in underworld shootings. Police are alleging both the tax were a case of mistaken identity. Angus Taylor has rejected the coalition's proposed tobacco excise cut will not lead to more smokers. The party has announced its plan to reduce the tax by 80%. The proposal also includes allowing the legal sale of vapes and nicotine pouches to adults. Labor claims the coalition's plan will increase rates of smoking in Australia. Victories opposition leader Jess Wilson has announced she will not change the state's abortion laws if elected. Miss Wilson telling the Sunday age she believes abortion is a personal decision

made by women with their doctors. The statement comes as Ben Carroll ramps up campaigns against the coalition over the issue. Labor is seeking to tie the coalition with one nation who said they want to scale back access to abortion. Victories healthcare workers could receive a $10,000 yearly bonus. The coalition is pledging the funds for workers willing to take on hard-to-fill positions in regional areas if it wins the state election. The plan is designed to bring 1,000 health workers to rural areas, but some major hubs including Jelong and Ballarat will be excluded to ensure the funds go directly to the most affected towns. Nearly 2,000 people have fallen sick in a suspected food poisoning outbreak linked to free school meals in Indonesia. The cases are raising concerns over the scheme as the government expands the program nationwide. The initiative has repeatedly faced incidents of food poisoning and corruption allegations. At least 800 kitchens have been shut down for failing to meet sanitation standards since the launch of the scheme in 2025.

And a new chain of Hong Kong convenience stores, they're doing customer service a bit differently. Launching three venues fully operated by robots. The stores are run by humanoid robots and operate 24 hours a day serving snacks and drinks to customers in multiple languages, including English. Until a few days later, at 2 a.m., you wake up with a fever and your throats on fire. Now what? Urgent care, clothes, ER, slam, telehealth, maybe, but the pharmacy's clothes. You need a medical emergency kit. These aren't first aid kits. They contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions, sinus and ear infection, UTIs, stomach bug, travelers diarrhea, and more.
