THIS IS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE I FOUND TODAY WHICH SHOULD PROVE TO BE HELPFUL FOR MANY OF US. EVEN IF WE JUST HAD THE FESTIVE SEASON MEANS THIS ARTICLE STARTS WITH, WE WILL GAIN SOME VALUABLE INSIGHT FOR THROUGH THE YEAR and FESTIVE OCCASIONS, HEY?

From The Conversation

The holiday season is upon us, and with it, opportunities to indulge in festive treats. The proverbial saying “you eat with your eyes first” seems particularly relevant at this time of year.

Because we have been such a generous Country in showing Compassion towards those in need, our Government has allowed Thousands of Boat People and Migrants from other Lands to enter our shores over recent decades which has resulted in a huge deficit in Employment AND Houses for our own people. Our first responsibility is to LOOK AFTER US NOW the Best We Can, hey?…
