An active kids voucher
The NSW Government is helping kids get active with the new Active Kids program. Parents, guardians and carers can apply for a voucher valued up to $100 per calendar year for each student enrolled in school. The voucher may be used with a registered activity provider for registration, participation and membership costs for sport, fitness and active recreation activities. The idea was mentioned as part of a briefing by the NSW Treasurer to the Sydney Financial Forum today. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-active-kids-voucher

Immunotherapy to cure cancer
A friend was diagnosed with cancer this year and advised he had 3 months to live. He was given the option of immunotherapy at the Kinghorn Cancer Centre in Sydney and, though it had risks, took the option and his cancer has now gone. This exciting new approach to cancer treatment involves creating drugs that target cells of the immune system, not the cancer. Basically, the immune system is strengthened to protect against, or attack a specific tumour type. https://www.garvan.org.au/foundation/immunotherapy-changing-way-think-cancer-treatment/

Exporting sunshine as green hydrogen
Australia could soon be exporting sunshine in the form of renewable energy-produced hydrogen, creating an industry that could rival Australia's LNG exports. Hydrogen has significant potential as a clean energy source, but is currently uneconomical to produce and export at scale. Japan is embracing hydrogen, which produces heat and water vapour when burned, in a national strategy to create an emissions-free hydrogen society by 2030. The shift to green hydrogen, produced by excess solar and wind energy, would allow Australia to export sunshine on a large scale. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/climate/chief-sci
