The 820,00+ Australian children living in poverty locally could also be said to be victims of child abuse - at the hands of the current Australian government.

If not now, I suspect he will be feeling it after the SA state election on 21st March.

Meanwhile Australian hardware stores like Bunnings still sell glyphosate products including RoundUp to the (untrained) general public. I lost a brother years ago at age 32 to Non-Hogdkins Lymphoma. RoundUp used to clear blackberry bushes from his property was implicated.

Unfortunately YouTube is awash with this cruel, ageist rubbish targeting we oldies, and more generally all Centrelink clients. Its hard to simply dismiss it as clickbait. Something/someone quite sinister must be driving it. We don't need this in addition to our own govt's Robo-AgedCare assault.

True. Wouldn't mind betting that the IAT algorithm involves AI and in my limited use of that showed it to be notoriously inconsistent and inaccurate. Surely any software systems that can decide human life or death life should be published as open-source rather than being coseted as a secret.

"Could". More likely the proceeds are already earmarked to go offshore to prop up the AUKUS mirage.

πŸ˜… Seems like we are currently living inside the Hitchcock movie 'The Birds', under attack by a Seagull and now a Pidgeon. (Not forgetting a screechy cockatoo lurking somewhere in the background).

The problem is that anything that needs to wait on a court decision can take consideral time, which is a commodity that we oldies have precious little of to spare. We already need to wait many months after being assessed before any help is available, and we need it to arrive before the grim reaper.

Given their known capacity to accumulate donor wealth and shuffle it off to the Caymans perhaps she meant the Babylonian silver talent which was was equal to 3000 shekels.

In this case the word 'lie' applies in both of it's meanings.

$200 for a shower. This is what aged care has come to - Hellocare A Level 4 package worth tens of thousands a year. Yet a basic shower can cost $200 because of a two hour minimum billing policy. Families across Australia say their funding is disappearing fast.

Geez I wish AustralianπŸ™„ Govts would employ some competent web designers. Just applied for a postal vote in upcoming SA election. No option to enter date of birth using keyboard. Had to click a 'month-back' button over 960 times to select my birth-date during WW2. Age discrimination? πŸ™„

We can't eat flags, but it should be possible to make a reasonable tent out of six.

OMG! What's Labor done to My Aged Care? I thought you were about fixing it? As a one of your longtime sweat shop carers I'm now new to the My Aged Care debacle and it looks like the dog's breakfast. Don't fiddle around with things you don't understand. #epicfail #auspol

No first-nations Australian representation here. All we get to see are flags of the first-immigrants.😧

Aged Care Minister claims algorithm doesn’t replace assessors. Workers say that's not true - Hellocare Sam Rae says the IAT algorithm does not replace assessors. Frontline workers say they cannot override it. So who is telling the truth? Clinicians across Australia are speaking out about what is really...

Today's Muppet episode is brought to you by the letter 'G'. (In honor of the one that frequently goes missing from Angus's name).

SA state-based practice run on 21st March.
