Hi Tranmere
community.
Having been away for 3 days we are now home again and recovering from the
holiday!
So it will be extra short.
A few media reports caught my eye.
Ø Charities
regulator finds bushfire charities acted responsibly during disaster

"The
best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for
good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen,
you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope."

Ø Welcome
life even when it requires heroic love: Pope

We should be able to trust that the
hand sanitisers we buy actually work, but 14 out of the 30
sanitisers we tested didn’t even label the percentage of alcohol they contain.
This makes it difficult to buy products that meet World Health Organisation
(WHO) standards.
Here’s what our research has found:
- 66% of Australians didn’t know or
incorrectly believed that alcohol-free sanitisers protect against
COVID-19 (there’s no evidence they do)
- 59% believe that hand sanitisers sold in
Australia are required to label the percentage of alcohol they contain on
the label (they aren’t)
- 49% believe that hand sanitisers sold in
Australia are required to contain a certain amount of alcohol (they
aren’t)
- 74% of Australians trust sanitisers sold in supermarkets and chemists are effective against COVID-19 (some may not be)
