Once upon a time, Megan Fox was the Hollywood starlet of the moment. Devastatingly beautiful and sexy, she was the perfect bombshell for the action movies she appeared in. 
Then, after being labelled by media and the film industry as 'difficult' and 'untalented' and 'slutty', she vanished from our screens - but not before telling us why, except we weren't listening. 
In 2020, we look at her struggle through a different lens, and ask whether Megan Fox is owed a huge apology.

PM: No Legal Fees For Bruce Lehrmann, Grocery Prices Drop

It feels like there’s been an increase in the number of knife related crimes in our community lately.

And while statistics might show they’re actually on the decline, there’s still more we can do to lower that number even further.
But it might not be as easy to resolve like the gun amnesty achieved in the 1990s, so how do we actually stop people from using a knife as a deadly weapon?

No, Knife Crime Isn’t On The Rise But We Still Need To Fix It

Hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings… oh my! 
Most women might have to deal with symptoms associated with menopause, but at least their saving grace has been found in a variety of medications. 

Those medications, known as Hormone Replacement Therapy, might come in a wide array of applications - but what happens when some of them become scarce in supply?
That’s exactly the predicament many Australian women are finding themselves in at the moment.
So, why is there a shortage in supply and is it something we’re just supposed to get used to?
