How is this even legal? This poor family! And all the others suffering this same harassment.

Racial profiling at its best (worst)

9 Principles for Journalists Reporting On Neo-Nazis You may have landed here because you want to talk about neo-Nazis without helping them. Excellent. You have an important role in combatt...

We might also remind journalists on how to effectively report on these groups - crucially not doing the neo-Nazis' promotional work for them.

The 60 Minutes whistleblower allegations and this transcript show a pattern of gross financial mismanagement and secrecy at the heart of offshore processing.#60mins #nauru #auspol #australia #60minutes

Offshore processing is a cruel and secretive policy built on corruption, cover-ups and lies. It tortures people, destroys lives and drains hundreds of millions in taxpayer money for nothing but harm. #60mins #nauru #auspol #albanese #60minutes

The Albanese Government must release all contracts, correspondence, and agreements relating to offshore processing and offshore warehousing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea. #60mins #auspol #nauru #albanese #60minutes

I was impressed by this statement by Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, in response to the nazi rally at the NSW state parliament yesterday:

Not to be missed. A scandal and corruption exposed by 60mins on the Albanese Government’s offshore detention centre operations on Nauru. 820pm tonight!

Three clinics in inner Melbourne are being shut due to inadequate funding. These services are relied on by 12,500 people, including some of the community’s most vulnerable. Many will be unable to find alternatives, creating a healthcare crisis and putting lives in danger.

Australia’s current child support debt is the highest it has been in a decade. As of December 2024, $1.9 billion was owed, with 153,694 non-payers. While interest on unpaid amounts is payable to the government, it’s not passed on to the parents who are owed

Well done!

It has been four years since my last book.

One of the things that means is that now an author is treated to AI slop reviews on bookseller sites from fake readers.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

My bdays in 3 days and my bday present it to be able to do a decent grocery shop if you’re wondering about how it’s going for those of us in poverty 😂

If you're Victorian, don't miss the opportunity to hear from @mrdtjames.bsky.social, 7am host and journo, author of the Yoorrook report, and Yorta Yorta man, on the just-signed historic treaty with First Peoples, what it means to him, and all of us.

I'm so MAD that THIS specious policy is making international headlines while no one is paying attention to the 31 NEW coal, oil and gas developments the Albanese government has approved since being in office!

This thread is tremendous. Keep unrolling to get more and more.

And of course I gotta add my own contribution:

This "will leave around 12,500 people without a GP, including some of the most vulnerable in the community: refugees, newly arrived migrants, people experiencing homelessness, those living with disabilities, and patients managing complex chronic illnesses." 😡

We got our first 100 signatures 😃💪🏿 keep sharing and sign if you haven't already!

N95s can prevent more than just Covid!

They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness.

They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers.

Many maskers haven’t been sick in years.

Respirators are pretty amazing.

The first episode of Ghosts Australia has just started on channel 10 and I'm already loving it!!!

People on Centrelink have never had the presumption of innocence. If you are accused of missing an interview, or if a debt is raised against you, YOU have to prove it’s wrong. While your payment is suspended/reduced or debt is raised.

This is to say: we are already on the slope.

"It grants police the power to recommend cancelling someone’s Centrelink payments, based on the suspicion they have committed a serious crime. Not conviction. Suspicion."

It's just so beyond frustrating that no one is paying attention to this.
