sgarcia+FollowAustralian mom uses her body as a shield to protect her baby during a hail storm😭😭😭One of the most moving stories I’ve heard in years 😭 The 23-year-old mother was driving her car on the Highway with her four-month-old baby and her grandmother when the car got caught up in the supercell thunderstorms that ripped through southeast Queensland on Thursday. She parked on the side of the road when the storm became too heavy, but then the hail blew out the windows in her car!! Then she "covered my infant with my body to stop her from getting badly injured". What a brave and loving mother for protecting her child!! But then again, I would hope we all would for our children. If not, you shouldn’t have any. I'm not advocating that the meaning of life is solely about having children and selflessly dedicating yourself to family. Quite the opposite, I fully support everyone having their own beliefs, whether that's staying single or being childfree—it doesn't matter. I just want to emphasize that once you choose to bring a life into the world, you should love that child with your whole heart and soul! #Motherhood #BraveMom #Parenting #RealLifeHeroes #AustraliaNews #Storm 8179923Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowRare Bat Virus Claims Life in AustraliaA man in NSW just died from Australian bat lyssavirus—a super rare, rabies-like disease that’s only been seen in humans four times ever. He’d been bitten by a bat months ago and got treated, but once symptoms hit, there’s no cure. Health officials are warning: don’t touch bats, even if they look cute! Only trained, vaccinated pros should handle them. If you ever get scratched or bitten, wash up fast and get to a doctor ASAP. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #AustraliaNews61Share
David Hoover+FollowThe Responsible Gambling Myth ExposedEver wondered if those 'gamble responsibly' signs actually help? Turns out, they're more of a smokescreen than a solution. Recent investigations found casinos like Crown and Star used the 'responsible gambling' mantra to dodge real accountability, letting harm slide while blaming individuals. The real kicker? These codes barely work, and most interventions are rare or ineffective. Experts say it’s time to treat gambling harm like a public health issue, not just a personal failing. Time for a serious rethink! #GamblingHarm #PublicHealth #CasinoTruths #ResponsibleGambling #AustraliaNews #Finance2830Share
