A bit late, but naturally occurring uranium isn't really very radioactive, but it is horrendously poisonous.

With one amazing exception, although that's now even less reactive than most natural uranium.

Isn't yellowcake mostly inert? Or I guess over a long enough timescale it wouldn't matter, 'mostly' would still kill you.

Yellow cake is significantly more concentrated than the naturally occurring ore. It is the first step in mining refinement. Even then it is still a form of Uranium Oxide but none the less the chemical compound is made up of radioactive isotopes which are just as active as the refined ore. The lower radioactive density due to the oxides and other impurities reduces the dosage per gram.

Cash Confessions: Father-of-one says he still ‘struggles’ on $300k

AT JUST 31 years old, Phil earns more than three times the national average and has a portfolio of eight investment properties across Victoria.

On face value, Phil’s independent income of $300k sounds like a dream. But the father-of-one says “life would be impossible” if he earnt anything less.

Phil says people don’t understand the lack of benefits he receives for falling into a high income bracket.
“I pay 60 per cent in tax,” he said. “We get no government benefits, my partner doesn’t work, we get nothing for childcare assistance.
“While my income sounds like a lot of money, not having any assistance or welfare brings it down very quickly and people don’t factor that in.
“Our investment properties suck on to a huge amount of discretionary cash, meaning we just don’t seem to have a lot left over at the end of the month.”

Phil wrote into news.com.au after reading about Toby�s income woes for our weekly Cash Confessions series, which looks at average Australian income earners and how they spend their money.

Earlier this month, 40-year-old Toby* and his wife Leanne* claimed that their gross income of $215,000 a year wasn�t enough, and that as a young family he will �struggle to make ends meet� each month.
...
Phil says investing should be at the forefront of all Australian families.

�Always invest what you earn and then spend the leftover,� he said.

Can you relate to Phil? Perhaps you�re a smart saver who tackles everyday expenses a little differently? I�d love to hear from you. Email vanessa.brown@news.com.au and share your story.

Her last backflip was when the VicLNP adopted the nordic model and she said she wouldn't back it.
It's pretty funny that it took the right wing adopting something in the name of "Protecting Are Children" for her to realise that maybe it wasn't a progressive approach to sex work.
