All the adjacent windows have various minor ailments and phrases like "fix this? Treat that?" It's trying to give an idea of what chemists can do for you.

In Aus chemists (pharmacists) are medical professionals, capable of providing medical advice and minor treatment, but a lot of people don't consider going to the chemist for anything other then buying specific medicine (or for some reason, perfume or most egregiously, homeopathy).

And in case you're still confused, the baby is crying (implied for medical reasons like colic)

It doesn't directly answer you but what you're thinking about is the sort of thing addressed by a book I'm a big fan of, Data Oriented Design. It's addressed briefly in the online version here https://dataorienteddesign.com/dodbook/node6.html#SECTION00620000000000000000

Amazing how different it feels to hear "racially aggravated harassment" vs "called police officer 'stupid white bastard'".

This is literally a protected right in multiple countries, so um...

Nicotine eCigarettes are still available by prescription

I disagree with the chosen changes , but they come as a result of nicotine being found in the vast majority of "nicotine-free" vapes and juices. So we're not really coming from a position of "choose what goes into your body".

Being paid is, unfortunately, not a legal requirement if work experience is a mandatory part of your course.

In SA paid internships exist but are very competitive. Most of my graduating class was unpaid.

I'm very glad to hear that's an expectation in Qld, companies should be ashamed to offer unpaid positions.

Engineering has 12 weeks full time.

I don't know if it's addressed by the review but TAFE certs often have placement reqs.

Law has something, there was a scandal a few years ago v where students were paying huge sums for placements at some institutions.

Missed the headline point

Former politician targeted

Without naming the individual, Burgess said the A-team “successfully cultivated and recruited a former Australian politician”. He said this occurred “several years ago”.

“This politician sold out their country, party and former colleagues to advance the interests of the foreign regime,” Burgess said. “At one point, the former politician even proposed bringing a prime minister’s family member into the spies’ orbit. Fortunately that plot did not go ahead but other schemes did.”

It's not unusual, but there are also plenty of drivers that are uninterested in conversation
