I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide

I hear you….

Tracy is about to begin chemo and she’s also getting evicted. Welcome to Australia’s housing crisis

If you’ve done something really vile, like surgeon Greg Malham, and claim it was a “lapse in judgement that does not reflect your core values or beliefs,” chances are you’re not just vile but also a liar who simply got caught out accurately representing your very core values and beliefs.

On doing the same inadequate shit over and over again until the end of democracy - The Shot The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

The Sunday Shot is always excellent & this one was no exception. An interesting & informative range of topics discussed by the panel & in the interviews. Some centred on the budget, some on election issues & some on areas where we can & should be doing much better e.g. poverty, climate, environment.

Appalling, blatant age discrimination.

Insightful discussion and analysis - love it.

Truth…

Looking in the back of my cupboard for cargo pants….

Excellent as always…

Truth…

If illegally boarding a plane in disguise as a mechanic and wielding a shotgun isn't an attempted act of terrorism, then white people can't commit terrorism in Australia

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

So Alfie 🌀 stalled over SEQ and is slowly heading west now.

Some health professionals view people like my son as 'less-than', mum says Australians with intellectual disability continue to experience unconscious bias in the medical system and poor health outcomes. Advocates are demanding change.

Labor hasn’t delivered on more effective nature laws. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s calamitous | Tim Winton As Ningaloo reef bleaches and an election looms, we must look to those who stand in the way of our safety – the small cohort of people profiting from fossil fuels, and the politicians who protect them

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love.

This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests.
