The co-payment they're talking is all kinds of fucked, and will end up causing more medical issues. Can't afford to pay someone for assistance with showering? End up with skin infections.

I completely agree with you (& grew up in Qld, so have experienced it first hand), but was saying it won't happen because those in power (whichever flavour they might be) won't let it happen because it's not in their interest.

🤢

Those in power will never vote for a return to a bicameral parliament.

How are you going to convince young people to be doctors and nurses? Or doctors to go into general practice rather than a specialty that pays much better? By 2033, we're going to be short over 5500 GPs. That's less than 8 years from now. How are you going to train enough doctors in that time?

I've had this argument with a few people regarding a few social programs. Even if you don't give a shit about people, and you look at it purely from an economic outcomes perspective, the benefit cost ratio makes it worthwhile.

What's your answer? Kill us all of when we hit a certain age or level of infirmity?

Dude, we can't train enough healthcare staff to meet our needs because we have an ageing population, hence immigration. Also, if we don't have immigration, who is going to:
a. Staff the services we need and
b. Pay the taxes that the country needs to provide services once we're retired?

and 40% of Australia's nurses were born overseas, but don't spoil their argument with facts.

The man went around spouting hatred and hurting the marginalised. He was no hero, and he didn't do things "the right way".

So much this...

I disagreed with John Howard on a huge range of things, but I greatly respect what he and Tim Fisher did in relation to gun control after the Port Arthur shooting. To weaken our gun laws is the wrong move.

The Jewish Council was proud to join the hundreds of thousands of Australians marching on Sunday to demand action from our political leadership.

We demand an end to the genocide, today!

Sign the Petition Fund Wagga Women’s Health Centre: Domestic Violence is Preventable

3/5 The WWHC has been working with women for over 40 years, providing trauma-informed care and early intervention that prevents violence before it starts. The Centre is now at risk of losing these programs when they are needed most.

Sign the Petition Fund Wagga Women’s Health Centre: Domestic Violence is Preventable

2/5 Despite record investment in domestic violence programs, our region has been left without any of the primary prevention funding announced this year. This is unacceptable - especially given the alarming rates of violence in rural and regional NSW.

Sign the Petition Fund Wagga Women’s Health Centre: Domestic Violence is Preventable

The NSW Government cut all funding to Wagga Women's Health Centre - almost half WWHC's annual budget.

Sign the petition calling on Premier Chris Minns & NSW Govt to fund WWHC, continuing vital work preventing domestic & family violence in regional communities.

Hi, I worked at USAID. 👋

Airdrops are universally acknowledged as probably the worst and least efficient way to get aid to people. You airdrop when you a) want to want to so something but can’t, or b) you don’t want to do anything but want to look like you are.

It's nowhere near enough to prevent people dying of starvation. It's a PR stunt amidst a genocide.

Yep. It's "othering". If people are "the others" (i.e. different from "us"), they don't count.

Not disappointed. #INXS #Number1 #TripleJ #Hottest100 #AwesomeSaxSolo
