Was on the train this morning when I found out my dad had passed away overnight. Lady sitting opposite overheard and offered to get off the train with me and go back to the station where her car was parked and drive me home. Strangers can be very kind.

This is so outrageous and is a perfect example of where we are in Australia today - 'If I don't agree with your opinion then you can't have it'. @QandA has no right to be on the air after displaying this kind of censorship.
