A Letter from the Editor
Letter down. The Government is taking steps to support millions of Aussie workers and of course that will be a debt that could take generations to payback. Rather than focus on the negatives though and I certainly don’t want to play the fear game like so many have in the media, I thought I’d look at my TOP 10 positives – of course there are way more. How many can you come up with?

COVID-19 & Life Changes
What a month! The Corona Virus (CV) or COVID-19 has had a major impact on this planet and the ramifications are huge and far flung.

Little did we know that the CV across the planet has seen virtually every nation impacted as the virus spreads and creates fear, generated by the people. The loss of life is real, the virus is real, the impact this has had on billions of people is very real and depending on how folks look at it the end result is that life on this planet is changing – for good or bad, who really knows.
