The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.
He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.
Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.

I disagree that an Autism registry would be created to fix autism. I think the Trump and RFK, Jr. administrations want to register autistic people so they can kidnap them off the street and put them in concentration camps, like Jews in Germany.

He doesnβt remember hearing about them, so they must not have existed.
Okay boomer.
Btw, Touretteβs was first identified in 1885, Narcolepsy in 1880, ADHD as far back as 1798 (although more clearly in 1902), and Autism Spectrum Disorder in 1911. So, yeah, they did exist when he was a kid.

RFK seeks the 'environmental' cause of autism. Scientists say it's not that simple
Researchers and advocates have pushed back at what they consider inaccurate and stigmatizing comments made by the health secretary, and note the causes of autism are complex.
Kennedy press conference: "better awareness⦠cannot be driving a disability like autism to increase by 300% in 20 years"
The Affordable Care Act took effect in 2014, (21 years), giving health insurance to Americans, to afford to get their kids tested for autism. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

"You can't let your disability win! Adapt and push though!" Is ableist as fuck. I'm not forcing damage because you are terrified of the reality that you could end up disabled by no fault of your own. It might take me DAYS to recover. But sure. Maintaining your denial is more important. π

And he lied about the savings from firing 41,000 public servants. He claimed a $7b a year savings. That is $170,000 per person fired. There is no way he is going to fire that many middle managers... And of course the termination payouts will considerably offset the savings in the first year...

Big pharmaβs plea to Trump to punish Australia for cheaper medicines
US medical giants say Australiaβs Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is an βegregious and discriminatoryβ program that Trump should target in the next wave of tariffs.
Trump wants to end "damaging pricing policies" like our PBS, so large US pharmaceuticals can profit and kill Australian's?
Is that right?
Knock-offs from India & China are fine, & anyway, If the US can't tax their billionaires, why would we pay for their deficits
