When a mother loses her baby through miscarriage they are always heartbroken.

How much more traumatic is it going to be for the mother who has to live the rest of her life knowing she has killed her baby.

Some of the most gifted and renowned people to grace this planet were not planned babies but born under adverse circumstances.

Lung disease continues to be one of the worlds most common cancers.

August 1 was World Lung Cancer Day.

Asbestosis, mesothelioma and associated lung diseases are a legacy that workers have inherited through no fault of their own. I am still seeing Australians with lung disease coming forward today.\

Slater and Gordon was one of the first law firms in Australia to hold big business, mining companies and big money to account on behalf of Australians who were suffering from Asbestosis and associated lung disease. I believe that our work didnt end with Wittenoom or James Hardie.

I see people in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s who are diagnosed and dont know how long they have left. They are men who worked in the mines and women who washed their dust-covered clothes.

The reason that some struggle to breathe is because they worked in the mines or a factory where Asbestos dust and debris were strewn across their workplace.

However, it lives on in our buildings, in our homes, schools and work sites.

In our desire to bash out the walls of our 50s-70s do-er-uperers, we forget that the dust lies dormant in many of our homes. Because of this we're seeing a new wave.

Please check if you have asbestos walls or rooves in your house before knocking them out. Check if you need to protect yourselves, neighbours or contractors.

No one should have to go through what my clients and their families have had to.

Is Anthony Albanese all bluff and bluster or is his calling of the sacking of John Setka from the Labor Party his attempt to differentiate his leadership from that of Bill Shorten?

Albo in support of his calls for sacking should back the government's two proposed Fair Work amendments designed to ensure integrity and proper use of workers' benefits.

Albo, if he is to improve his electoral stocks and regain much of the lost trust of the voters, must back the latest government policies in order to clean up the union leadership issue. Voters become nervous when union officials appear to become too influential in political matters.

Unions are vital to our economy but when their demands and conduct become untenable corrective action must be adopted.

Political leaders that appear to be heavily influenced by unelected and under regulated bodies are destined for a short leadership tenure as has most recently been shown.

Will the real Albo stand up or will party politics prevail and force his backdown? This would surely spell the end of the Albo dream.

Stay strong, Albo, as the nation needs a strong opposition as to keep the government honest as has been much stated in the past.

My son is addicted to ice he has been in an out of jail most of his life. I have watched him dwindle away on this drug. He has distanced himself from the family who all love him. We all still tracking him down. Some of the people are in so much pain because of the history in life that they see no other way to cope other than to take a drug. Everyone needs to come together for these people and help them get off the street.
