Impassioned Lambie accuses Labor of ‘callous disregard’ for veterans’ health, reveals vaginal prolapse
Six months ago, Jacqui Lambie says her vagina started to prolapse, and three months ago it took her “bladder with it”. She says this is directly connected to her military service. Yesterday in a fiery and emotional speech in the chamber, the Tasmanian independent senator detailed her story of battling with health access as a defence veteran, begging the government to scrap a controversial $5,000 cap on allied health services for veterans. She accused the government of a “callous disregard for veterans’ health and wellbeing”. On Tuesday night, Lambie had told the story of how it took female veteran Kate three years to get surgery for vaginal prolapse because “she couldn’t find a gynaecologist who was happy with the low prices [the Department of Veterans’ Affairs] pay”. On Wednesday, Lambie said she had travelled to the mainland and paid $7,000 to avoid the same fate as Kate. “That’s how much they care about our vaginas,” Lambie said. Vaginal prolapse is a condition suffered by one in 12 Australian women, but there is no accurate data, Lambie said. She quoted a survey of nearly 500 female veterans who had completed a minimum of six months’ active duty that found two-thirds reported pelvic health concerns, including 12% who reported pelvic organ collapse. I would like to ask the prime minister, minister [Richard] Marles and minister [Matt] Keogh what they would do if their penises were hanging by a thread, and what would they do if treatment for that injury directly connected to their military service was denied by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Would they say, ‘OK, no worries. I don’t really need my penis’? I don’t think so.
I’m begging you, prime minister. We are already suffering enough. Drop the bloody cap. Drop it, mate. It is so unfair. It is what we do not need. It is enough. Veterans have had enough. Leave us alone.

This is now 'John Knight Island', and is a dense grove of she-oak trees. The waterway is home to countless water birds such as swans and ducks.
The far side of the lake is the Emu Bank foreshore area that contains Hungry Jack's, Oporto, the Lighthouse Pub, etc.

theguardian.comPasting a list of expenses from a CSV export. How to get the 'category' of expenses to auto-fill?
I am creating a Google Sheets spreadsheet to keep track of my expenses.
My bank provides me with a CSV file that includes data such as Date, Expense value, Details
So examples would be:
2026-05-20 | $50.00 | Pizza Hut
2026-05-21 | $39.95 | Netflix
2026-05-22 | $49.50 | Local hairdresser
2026-05-23 | $19.45 | McDonalds
2026-05-24 | $40.00 | Pizza Hut
I would like to add a 'category' colum to this spreadsheet. That includes broad categories such as 'Dining out', 'Groceries', 'Streaming services', etc.
There are plenty of businesses that I regularly spend money at. I would like a way to autofill this Category column based on the name that appears in the Details column. e.g. a way to know that if the Details column has 'Pizza Hut' or 'McDonalds', to add a value saying "Dining out' into the category column.
Can someone please suggest a way to do this in Google Sheets?
