So there will still be the connection to Perth, but this has been sold as like a major infrastructure project for the country, the biggest rail project in a century.

But they've shelved it because of just how expensive it was going to be.

The Honda S set sail from Argentina about a month ago and stopped at some of the world's most remote islands before passengers started getting sick.

Now, of the total seven cases, two have been confirmed as Hunter virus infection.

One, a Dutch woman who has passed away.

Our health policy doesn't change because a couple of criminals want it to.

Now, this is because it's ended a more than 15-year precedent that was set by the WHO, which was designed to stop big tobacco from interfering with public health policy.

Basically, they created this framework that is designed to, you know, not allow...
