Editors note:

Parliament is the authority in law making, a premier will always build confidence with it. If it is in danger of loss that would be I’m the case of having to reverse a process such as one on a large announced commitment then the prudent thing to do is what he announced today. Thank you for your service…

Flooding is a danger that deserves sober conversation. As well as careful action. Dismissing warnings out of hand can lead to trouble, life consuming trouble.

Risk ☔ remains divided but action generally belongs to us all. Error on the side of caution and safety’s reach.

So, we are in the middle of dental hygienist week today. It’s okay it’s only the 6th and it goes to the 10th but we’re not sure who’s supposed to be happy the dental hygienist or the person that needs one. You tell us who it is.

People make claims the dental health is a bellwether for your regular health so Thursday, tomorrow there’s rumor to be coming in the federal budget (the first one since the last federal election) will have something in it for dental health. Most likely a targeted program starting with children under 12. And perhaps seniors without plans. So it’s a good week to be in tune with what might be happening!

Some people have very good dental habits and more than likely they developed in childhood.

So happy dental hygienist week, might be nice to send her/ him a card they’re always sending you cards aren’t they.

Anyway, good luck with your dental aspirations, or is that aspirn-ations.
