The Pathic H/Way claims another life.
Fatal crash closes highway north of Iluka turnoff
They can't build this section to a dual carriageway fast enough.

The whole Pathic H/Way needs double lanes there's no doubt, But the drivers are usualy to blame not the road.

Losing smell is a predictor of death

Losing your sense of smell is also an indicator of conditions like Parkinson's disease. Many people with Parkinson's, myself included, have lost their sense of smell. My neurologists suggests I have had Parkinsons for over 10 years, possibly as many as 20, as it can go for many years undiagnosed, so the prediction of death in 5 years is your typical sensationalised headline for News Corp.

I can't smell anything unless it is held directly under my nose. This means being diligent with changing batteries for smoke detectors and the like. But it also has it's advantages.

You heard it here first folks, according to Iraq's Ambassador to Australia, "our country is under control"
What! Control of IS


Iraq says it doesn't need any more Australian troops after US President Barack Obama asked the Abbott government to consider boosting its commitment.

Iraq's ambassador to Australia Mouayed Saleh has told Sky News the situation in his country is under contol and additional American forces are all part of the plan.

Australia could be asked to double the number of special forces troops it has in Iraq, with a formal request expected to come from the US after President Obama met with Prime Minister Abbott at APEC in China.

Two hundred Australian soldiers have begun arriving in Iraq, to begin their mission to advise and assist the Iraqi army.
