"I love my father very much." Ivanka shares her reaction to Trump's presidency run.

Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter, has decided not to actively join her father’s bid to retake the White House in 2024.

She also confirmed that she herself has decided to leave US politics behind and focus on her family.

The statement read: “I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritise my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”

It comes after Donald Trump launched his 2024 bid for the Republican nomination today. Interestingly, many members of his family were in attendance when he announced his plans – including his wife Melania, their son Eric, and also Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner. But not Ivanka.

She finished her statement with: “While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena. I am grateful to have had the honour of serving the American people and will always be proud of many of our administration’s accomplishments.”

It’s a big move, considering both Ivanka and her husband played key roles in Trump’s administration and became a lightning rod for anger with accusations of nepotism.

Donald Trump has announced he's running for president again in 2024.

Trump, seeking a potential rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden, made his announcement at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, a week after midterm elections in which Republicans failed to win as many seats in Congress as they had hoped.

"In order to make America great again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for President of the United States," Trump said in a speech broadcast live on US television.

Earlier in the day, aides filed paperwork with the US Federal Election Commission setting up a committee called "Donald J. Trump for President 2024."

The 76-year-old is seeking to become only the second US president in history to serve non-consecutive terms. However, there is a long road ahead before the Republican nominee is formally selected in the summer of 2024, with the first state-level contests more than a year away.

A number of poppy seed products have been recalled after a series of poisonings around the country.

Woolies and Coles have pulled 100g packs and 240g jars of Hoyts Poppy Seeds from stores nationally with authorities confirming that at least 19 people have presented to hospital emergency departments across Australia after consuming home-brewed poppy seed tea. 

Food Standards Australia confirmed that Tuesday’s recall is due to the potential presence of a chemical (thebaine) due to unsafe poppy seeds entering the food supply.

The poppy seeds are not food grade, a joint investigation by state and territory governments found.

"Ongoing investigations indicate the presence of unusually high levels of a naturally occurring chemical, thebaine, in the poppy seeds is likely causing this toxicity," NSW Health said in a statement yesterday. 

People are now advised to check the poppy seeds in their kitchens following a nationwide recall of poppy seed products linked to poisoning.

Thebaine is found in poppy varieties and is used in the production of prescription medications including opiates. Poppy seeds grown for food production generally have no detectable amounts of thebaine.

Symptoms of thebaine poisoning include spasms, seizures and difficulty breathing.

In case you missed it, Victorian Premier Dan Andrews has announced his government will provide free pads and tampons if they win the upcoming state election (yay!), and a lot of men on the internet... aren't happy about it. 

Labor have promised 1,500 pad and tampon dispensing machines at up to 700 sites including public hospitals, courts, TAFEs, libraries and train stations if they are re-elected on November 26.

We’re making tampons free.

Because they’re a necessity, not a luxury.

— Dan Andrews (@DanielAndrewsMP) November 14, 2022

But while many praised the move, which would see Victoria become the first Australian state to provide free period products to the general public, others (read: men) pointed out they were missing out.

 "What about the boys, what do we get?" one person commented online. 

 "For men as well? What about toilet paper - an absolute essential," said another. (ahem, toilet paper is already provided in public places...)

Sky News host Chris Kenny slammed the government's decision as "the lowest of politics", saying Andrews is supplying Victorians with free tampons "for no particular reason".

"This is all about base partisan politics, using taxpayers’ money and a boundless view about the expansion of government to try to win a political advantage over his opponents," he said.

"Could you get a better example of how shallow and cynical our politics has become?"

Prior to 2020, Pete Evans was a judge on the popular Aussie TV reality cooking show, My Kitchen Rules.

By the end of 2020, Evans was banned from social media platforms, dropped by management and sponsors and was even fined tens of thousands of dollars.

Today, we find out what happens to someone like Pete Evans, banned from the mainstream, and left to the echo chambers of the far right conspiracy theorists. 

Has the banishment led to any meaningful change or did it actually make matters worse?
