She wears black. Always. As it turns out, death was not the end of her story. Chapter three.
“Mum died today.” Now, I knew this woman (the dead one) and, for all of her idiosyncrasies, she wasn’t really the dying kind. “What? How?”. “Dunno yet, but she’s been shipped off to the coroner so I guess we’ll find out.”
There are people to call. She tries holding back tears, although the odd one slips out. She calls her brother. It is the first day of duck shooting and he has his phone off. So, the call goes out - “I need him.” “Mum died”. He was on the phone ten minutes later. “What happened? Are you sure she’s dead?” to which Penny replies “Well, I’ve been here for twenty minutes and she hasn’t offered me a drink yet.” This elicits a laugh. Warmth. They both feel stronger. For now...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
