Mr Whippy Serves 40 Years of Ice Cream | Adelaide News

For forty years, Alex Deak, the beloved “Mr. Whippy” of Mount Gambier, has turned his pink and white ice cream van into a summer staple — serving up joy one cone at a time since 1986. From his childhood fascination with ice cream men in Hungary to his midlife discovery of his true calling, Alex’s passion has defined his life and touched generations. His son Byron laughs at the nickname, but locals and customers alike — from kids in the ‘80s to their grandchildren today — honor his dedication. At 86, Alex still plans to keep going until 90, crediting his van’s suspension with “angel’s wings” and his job with keeping him sharp and smiling. While Guinness recognizes a 67-year ice cream career, Alex’s four-decade van route may be Australia’s own record — a sweet, enduring legacy of community, joy, and the simple magic of ice cream.

Court Blocks Trump’s Mail Voting Order | Adelaide News

A federal appeals court just dealt a major blow to the Trump administration’s latest attempt to overhaul mail-in voting, blocking an executive order that demanded states comply with sweeping federal rules before November’s elections. The court ruled 2-1 that the order wasn’t premature — it set urgent deadlines for states to align with federal directives, forcing immediate action. The order, signed in March, aimed to have Homeland Security compile citizenship lists and the Postal Service restrict ballot delivery to approved voters — moves already deemed unconstitutional by a lower court. That judge also called the threat to prosecute election officials for using incomplete lists an intimidation tactic. With the Justice Department warning it might head to the Supreme Court, this latest legal setback underscores the ongoing battle over election integrity — and the limits of presidential power in shaping voting rules.

Mildura Hospital Promise Shifted | Adelaide News

The Victorian Coalition’s hospital promises are sparking outrage as they slash Mildura’s planned hospital from $750 million to just $180 million for a redevelopment, while greenlighting an $850 million hospital in Drouin. Community groups call it a “slap in the face,” arguing Mildura’s remoteness and complex cases demand more. The Coalition deflects, blaming local politics and touting the $180 million as a “significant improvement,” while Labor quietly funds planning without committing to new construction.
