What’s news?

When checking through quite a number of newspapers, local and online, there seems to be a limited range of events. In the UK it's the heat and Wimbledon, in the US it's Trump and the flood, but in all of the world it's also Australia's Mushroom killer.

Three people are dead, another has been injured, the jury has determined that she was guilty and unless she wins an appeal, she will be in jail for a very long time. Thirty-two words and it's done but there seems to be millions more written.

It's time to forget Australia's deadly mushrooms, spiders, snakes and a few other animals and get back to reporting on our sports, celebrities if we have any, our politics although it's mostly boring but stick with our natural beauty. There must be something positive happening somewhere in the world. Please find it.
