Barry Humphries, ‘greatest ever Australian’, bows out – Michael West

His death could have been a Public Health Warning

Let’s be clearer. Barry Humphries died because he ” fell over” and even hip surgery couldn’t save him. When the elderly fall over and are hospitalised 30% they rarely recover. Lack of balance comes with age and is more often the cause of death. Barry even said ” it was his fault a stupid accident” He tripped and fell over.

If you’re over 65 close your eyes with your hands by your side and try standing on one leg for 12 seconds to test your balance.

Celebrated Australian entertainer Barry Humphries is being celebrated globally after dying aged 89 from complications after hip surgery.

Neo-Nazi pub incident more complex than it seems

Consequently, the matter has become a shitshow and is all but impossible to discuss frankly in the public arena. But I’m concerned that if we don’t try, we’ll leave a vacuum that rash people might feel the need to fill.

It’s undoubtedly been made worse by media outlets like The Herald Sun. Journalist Brianna Travers will not be collecting Walkleys for her article: ‘The Irish Times pub fires workers for spitting in neo-Nazi’s beer’. Her article begins with ‘A neo-Nazi has revealed what allegedly prompted an Irish pub’s bartender to spit in his beer’, making it sound like Brianna bravely gave voice to a neo-Nazi about what the extremist bartender did to him.
