I turn 43 this year, and here's some honest, tough-love advice for people in their 20s.

1: If you have a comfortable job, you're doing it wrong.

2: Your designer degree from an overpriced university is overrated for 99.99% of career fields.

Explain to me how this TikTok’r gets it and “public health experts” don’t. MDs don’t.

I hope other providers are taking note of their responsibilities. Personally, I would go without support than go back to using providers. I understand many people have no choice. That is why these cases matter. It should matter to everyone.

Maddy Zarb's electric wheelchair was damaged on a flight from Melbourne to Brisbane.
She said, 'It's not the same as wrecking a suitcase or jeans or coats, it's like they've actually damaged a part of my body.'
