Good morning. There’s a boom in prescriptions for medicinal cannabis in Australia, which has some people worried. Conservatives are celebrating the rout of “lefties” from the Liberal party in this year’s election loss. And polls suggest Brazil’s former leftwing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is poised to defeat his far-right rival Jair Bolsonaro.
Australia’s Conservative Political Action Conference wrapped up yesterday with many guests criticising the approach of the Liberal party in the previous government. The party’s federal vice-president said the “good thing about the last federal election is a lot of those lefties are gone”, referring to defeated Liberal candidates.
