Government is perpetuating the 'Wealthy Boomer' myth to justify aged care funding cuts - Hellocare Government rhetoric suggests baby boomers can afford higher aged care fees. Yet most people entering residential care are women in their mid-80s with minimal superannuation. The wealthy boomer myth ma...

πŸ’― All "boomers" aren't wealthy. Many older women raised families & have little, if any, superannuation. Stats show many older women at risk of homelessness, but hey, let's keep paying millions for AUKUS & cut help for the elderly. #Auspol #AgedCare

Two tawny frogmouths perched closely together, asleep on a tree branch. The brown female is on the left, the grey male is on the right.

You can easily work out who’s who here. Brown one is the girl and grey one is the boy. Look at them, all snuggled up, fat and happy together. 🀎🩢🀎

France has taken a strong stance against planned obsolescence by penalizing companies that deliberately design products to fail or become outdated too quickly. Under consumer protection laws, manufacturers can face fines and legal consequences if they intentionally shorten a product’s lifespan.

The Pentagon is rapidly burning through its stocks of precision weapons at a rate that puts the U.S. military potentially β€œdays away” from having to prioritize which targets to intercept, according to three people familiar with the matter.-WSJ

Trump is threatening to militarily attack and invade Spain, an EU and NATO member, for refusing to take part in the US and Israel illegal war in Iran.

Orders all trade with Spain to be cut in revenge.

Sanchez: Women's rights should never be used as a pretext for launching wars that serve other interests. If we truly believe in the freedom of Iranian women, the response cannot be more violence. It must be more diplomacy, more support, and more international law.

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

#AngusTaylor has nothing but smug contemptuousness for #TonyBurke calling him out for the $80m #LNP #Watergate scandal and how Taylor benefited when there wasn’t any water. Is that the look of guilt or what?

No wonder Morrison fits in so well over there. Is this why he signed us up to AUKUS?

#Israel β€˜s new ambassador to Australia #HillelNewman
Why do so many of these people have BL that’s superior, arrogant & smug. We’ve heard this story before when Israel has bombed schools in #Palestine saying it was being used by terrorists? In Iran in this case 100 girls killed?
