They've seen mental health care pushed to breaking point, and are sounding the alarm - ABC News Doctors and nurses see people in crisis being turned away, patients discharged before it is safe, and interminable wait times boil over into life-threatening violence.

Australia’s mental health system, failing the vulnerable and their families. Watch #4Corners from

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

The median super account balance for Australians under 40 is ~$57-60K

Many Australians who'd like to buy a house don't actually have $50K sitting in their super account.

As usual, Peter Dutton is talking baseless, unadulterated shit.

Julian Assange back home and last of Bali 9 arrived today. Also don't forget that Asian woman journalist jailed in China, who Albo got released, and an older gent also. An impressive list for Labor govt. Add in his intervention to let the Biloela family stay. Dutton was going to deport them.

Social media is our platform. Meantime we upskill to support person, create free speech, diverse tolerant universities. Just an idea from a friend that’s all.

Just like many other respectable professions of bygone times. I suggest journos don’t give up, just like past nurses, school teachers, police, social workers, and apologies for those missed, maintain your interest/hobby.

We dunno how many times we have to say this: there’s NO SUCH THING as a moderate LNP politician.

Because if they were in ANY WAY moderate or progressive in their views, they WOULDN’T BE IN THE FUCKING LNP.

Every time the media say β€œmoderate Liberal”, they’re LYING. THEY DON’T EXIST.

Say hello to your (policy) friend down under At a critical moment for the US, Australian culture has won a small victory -- and there is scope for an even more important Australia-American exchange via the sphere of public policy.

β€˜If America had Australia’s level of voter participation +59 million US citizens would have their votes counted…
…+100 women would be in Congress…~40,000 fewer Americans would die each year from gun violence’
