Wow, 97.7% of eligible Australians have registered to vote and as voting is compulsory in Australia whatever the outcome of the referendum on the Voice to Parliament for indigenous Australians in October virtually the whole country would have had a say one way or the other.

Hi everyone
Quoting from the article
For a number of years, some scientists have been asking – have we got it all wrong about the cause of Alzheimer’s disease?
Despite the mountain of money spent on experimental drugs designed to remove those clumps – with some over-hyped and modest gains – there’s not been a lot of meaningful progress in stopping the disease.
An exciting study from St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, published this week) has shown that the breakdown of synapses (connections between brain cells) may be the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s.
It’s thought that synapses are essential to memory formation, but this has not been proven.
Have a read, Wouldn’t it be great if this is a breakthrough in treatment and cure.

Hi,
The No vote has won. I am attaching an article about it.
Some extracts from the article
Calling for an end to “academics and activists” thinking they knew better than people on the ground in remote communities, she said that a new way of thinking was required.
“We should not maintain the racism of low expectations in this country,’’ she said. “We are all part of the fabric of this nation.”
Senator Price said she wanted to thank the Australian people for “believing in our nation.”
“The Australian people have overwhelmingly voted No. They have said No to division in our Constitution along the lines of race,” she said.
“They have said No to the gas-lighting, bullying, to the manipulation. They have said No to grievance and the push from activists to suggest that we are a racist country when we are absolutely not a racist country.
But from her entry to federal politics just last year, there has been no ignoring Senator Price.
She had a powerful role in steering the Liberal Party to embrace the No vote and the campaign that followed.
Senator Price has argued a Voice would “constitutionally enshrine” a victimhood mentality in the country.
“It doesn’t belong here,” she said.

Another aricle
“We are not Yes voters or No voters, we are all Australians. And it is as Australians, together, that we must take our country beyond this debate without forgetting why we had it in the first place.”

New Zealand also voted yesterday and they voted out the Labour Party that had been led by Jacinta Ardern and have voted in a more right leaning party. They wanted change.

@baba so many of us are grieving this outcome today. It is a sad day for our country
@matildagirl I'm from the US, so I am trying to learn what this means for New Zealanders. Do you see a big swing to the right, or something more moderate? Does the new government want to undo the Labour Party laws, or just pass new laws to help bring down the costs of living?
