It’s a Tuesday, so some of you might be out playing trivia tonight. I thought I’d share some fun facts, in case they one day come in handy.

The quote
“I was attacked from behind by a saltwater crocodile which got its jaws around my head… I was able to lever its jaws open just far enough to get my head out." – Gold Coast man Marcus McGowan speaking to the ABC after he was attacked by a crocodile while snorkelling off Cape York.

Some headlines from this morning:

New measures to support Australians with eating disorders have been announced in recent days.

The Federal Government launched a $70 million package on Monday to fund eating disorder and mental health packages. The Victorian Government has also unveiled plans to set up its first dedicated residential eating disorder treatment centre in Melbourne.

About one million Australians are believed to have an eating disorder. They are more prevalent among young people.

Federal funding:
The Federal Government's medical research fund has been tasked with drafting a national childhood mental health research plan.

The development of the plan is a response to rising eating disorders and self-harm incidents among children and declining mental health. It will be due by August.

They will receive $50 million for this. The remaining money will be split between eating disorder and mental health programs across Australia.

The Victorian centre:
The Victorian Government says their eating disorder centre will create a "home-like environment" for Victorians aged over 18 with an eating disorder.

It comes as the Government mulls over new strategies to prevent and treat eating disorders, which will be released this year.

Similar residential centres have already been announced in other parts of Australia, such as NSW and the ACT.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been re-elected, extending his 20-year tenure.

Erdogan defeated opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu in a second round of voting – the first time Erdogan had not succeeded in one round.

Erdogan received 52% of the vote and Kilicdaroglu received 48%.

About Erdogan:
Erdogan has led Türkiye since 2003. He has significantly expanded his power over the courts, military, public institutions and media, and has jailed many of his critics.

International organisation Human Rights Watch says he has "set back [Türkiye's] human rights record by decades".

Although Türkiye is a member of the western military alliance NATO, Erdogan is personally close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The campaign:
Erdogan faced unusually strong opposition in this election. His personal approval had fallen following this year's deadly earthquake and an inflation crisis (official figures say prices have risen 44% in a year).

His opponent, Kilicdaroglu, had campaigned to reverse Erdogan's expansion of powers.

Results:
In the first round of voting, Erdogan won 49.5% of votes and Kilicdaroglu won 45%. Under the Turkish system, the winning candidate must get 50%, so a second vote was held. With almost all of the vote counted, Erdogan has 52.16% and Kilicdaroglu has 47.84%.

Erdogan told supporters he will "be here until I'm in the grave". Kilicdaroglu has not formally conceded, calling the election "unfair" and saying he felt "real sadness" about Türkiye's future.

In honour of Mark McGowan retiring, I thought it was an appropriate moment to resurface one of my favourite videos of all time.

It was April 2020 and lockdowns were just beginning.

In NSW, a 21-year-old man from Newcastle had gone for a run before stopping to eat a kebab, which was obviously illegal, and he was fined $1,000.

The WA Premier was asked for his thoughts…

“I find it hard to believe someone was going for a run and then stopped for a kebab,” McGowan began, chuckling at the very concept.

“They do things very differently in NSW,” he couldn’t stop laughing.

“There’s nothing wrong with going for a run… and having a kebab but…I don’t think there’s anything wrong with…we’re not making it unlawful to go for a run and eat a kebab,” the Premier said in hysterics.

You can enjoy the video here.
