My dog I've had for 14 years dies, and I decide to spend two days in bed. I look online and see that more than a billion Australian animals have died in the fires. Guilt spirals on top of guilt. How gauche, to feel this private grief, when there is such public grief already.

Now, it will play a role in how the RC paves the way for reducing rates of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation experienced by people with disability.

It is up to business to determine what the market wants. And business is being given a very clear message of market sentiment, through people protesting.

The rise of the vegan movement challenges us to reflect ethically on food.
