So great you are returning, I missed you all, your insights and discussions are a breath of fresh air, thanks for coming back

I'm thrilled and excited that after 15 years (off and on) work, my book 'Little Body Huge Life - Finding Freedom in Any Body', is going to be launched on March 7. Thank you to #castlemountmedia and the donors on my #gofundme for all your support bringing it to fruition.

BRING BACK 'THE DRUM'!

While it's good to see the rorting providers being caught, could we stop punishing participants for the big costs, and properly fund their needs?

I've watched 2 episodes of Goolagong so far, and each time the story, what and who she had to deal with, have stayed with me. And I've learnt so much more about her. Beautifully made and acted, and yes the young one is a natural.

I don't understand why the Adelaide Writers didn't consider what happened to the Bendigo Festival; it's not like there wasn't already a real life example of how catastrophic censorship can be for the organisation and event.

This feels like such a betrayal. Instead of improving the #ndis they are making it worse for participants, creating more stress and anxiety, less safe for the people it is meant to be helping. First principle of it should be DO NO HARM. Oversight by qualified assessors, right to appeal is important

NDIS plans will be computer-generated, with human involvement dramatically cut under sweeping overhaul Exclusive: Staff were told of major changes to the way NDIS funding and support plans will be made during a recent internal briefing

This is a big worry. Minimal input from actual people, no medical input, limited appeal opportunities, sounds like no lessons learnt from #Robodebt. Anxiety, stress and limited assistance for the very people this is meant to help. The govt hasn't been listening. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘We had to swim to safety. I didn’t think we would make it out alive’: the people fleeing climate breakdown – in pictures Photographers Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer capture the families, farmers and fishers who have been forced to leave their homes by extreme weather – and the landscapes they left behind

Bringing us the reality that thousands, millions are already dealing with increased climate extremes. Devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

At a time when humanity needs to unite like never before to change our systems to be sustainable for the long term, campaigns like this do so much damage.

RAISE THE RATE!!!

I wonder if Gough's dismissal is the source of Labor timidity to this day. Don't be bold, don't be visionary, remain a small target otherwise you could be dismissed, crucified. Lesson learnt?

And our homes are not safe havens from mishaps either. I know 2 people who fractured an arm from falling off their couch. There are hazards everywhere! Nowhere is safe!!

So much dumbness, which is seen by many because so much is recorded and shared. But they keep on doing it. If one wants to cut spending, do it in background stuff, not peoples' healthcare.

After a blackout I bought a solar and usb powered power board, I've used it a few times, worth having as backup.

Yes raise the bloody rate!! Is there evidence that raising people out of living below the poverty line reduces other costs eg hospital admissions, medical, mental health services etc? Just like homes for homeless is a good investment, reduces other costs.

Is this the most filmed/recorded genocide? While the propaganda machines have been in overdrive, their efforts are undermined by all that's shared on social media and independent media, we are seeing some of what is really happening, helping tip the scales of more and more not buying their shit.

Token accessibility is not accessibility

And many who want more progressive environmental policies voted for the Greens and independents, yet Labor refuses to work with them, ignoring many voters

It's so refreshing to hear you guys, thank you

Yes! Please support the Baudin's Cockatoo, it needs your support because it's being threatened by Alcoa clearing the jarrah forest and other developments, and there's not as many voters from WA. Make your vote count!

Wonderfully articulate speaker

At a time when humanity needs to unite like never before, many forces are working to divide us. We need to make systemic changes in how we function so we are not continuing to destroy our home, and this needs all of us. We can all play our part for the greater good, as the late Jane Goodall said.

Wonderful to hear you in person, loaded with so much research, info and insight, devastating as some of it was, thank you.

Devastating summary of the farce of NACC and other institutions Ronni

The Shot is a breath of fresh sanity, I'm loving it

Caaaaarn the Baudins Cockatoo! Help give this endangered bird, whose habitat is under threat from mining and development in WA, a high profile! Help the cause of their conservation and protection!

Labor is ignoring the will of the people, who overwhelmingly voted against the LNP and voted in the independents and Greens. The majority want progressive policies, especially on the environment, not going backwards with the LNP.

Anything but work with the Greens

Donut economics by Kate Raworth is the best model so far to map out the whole system changes needed to live on a healthy planet for the long term. Individual issues eg climate change can silo our attention when we need to change the whole system
