FMD, reading about Nick Cave's family, what is it about these artistic types that seems to flow into tragedy as life / art?

Very sad indeed!

Some horror stories coming out of friends who have returned to international travel, not sure it makes much sense to get on board this stuff so early. At least two friends have arrived at their destinations, Denpasar and Suva minus their luggage. The claim is the passenger bags are getting offloaded to secure slots for urgent freight that would otherwise normally be travelling via DHL or Fedex, but the China situation is causing chaos right across SE Asia, and it's only just getting started. I've had my own baggage travel on a different flight more than once, but on all except one occasion it actually arrived before I did, the time it didn't it turned up the next day. But I suspect things are very different at the moment!

An associate from Shanghai said it looked like you could basically walk to Japan from the mainland by hopping from ship to ship, ships anchored as far as you can see over the horizon.

Vlad on the ropes with his health just as Finland and possibly Sweden want to join NATO.
Sanna Marin the Finnish nightclubbing female President wants into NATO as soon as possible which might push Vlad to something extreme, be interesting if the Russian Oligarchs decide enough is enough and end Vlads reign sooner than later..

The good publicity this brings them, and the recruiting boom it will give them by comparison to woolies, will pay for those 10 days many times over.

Point taken on the PR to members of the community who embrace those lifestyle choices and I agree employees requiring that type of support will be keen on Coles as an employer. I wonder what it will do for other Coles employees though who may have other issues and cant access that type of special leave?
Have no doubt Woolies and Metcash who own stores of IGA brand will follow Coles lead.....
