Democratic Wins Media

In defiance of Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, protestors in Hungary stormed the streets to voice their opposition to authoritarianism. This is being almost entirely ignored by mainstream media. Let’s make it go viral.

Ian, my council divested all their services and no longer offers any at all. There no option of using Council services in most local government area now. Lots is pensioners in Melbourne are paying a very high private rent while they wait years for social housing and won’t have money for services.

I think the fees change on 1 November and also Council run services are way lower than those contracted to the private sector which are now the majority. I’m not saying ABC not beating it up, but it’s very concerning.

There is a widely held view that all pensioners are sitting on a retirement nest egg. Reality for many is living from payday to payday, budgeting to the last dollar, rationing heating and cooling…Especially for older women in private rental. This group will now miss out on My Aged Care service.

Yes every single morning! Tuned out when they announced Michaelia Cash is up next 🤬

Many of us are no longer watching ABC and haven’t been for some months. Exceptional is listening to RN breakfast.

I see SBS news is platforming the same interview on World News tonight 🤨

Wow! Bendigo Writers Festival (15 - 17 Aug) is making guest speakers sign a last-minute agreement to not mention Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Writers who care about human rights are cancelling. Any writer/guest still thinking of appearing should seriously reconsider. Stand up! Refuse to comply

Hard to listen to 🤬

“I don’t know how people who pretend to be part of our species can contemplate such calculated cruelty.”
Bob Carr slams Israel for its orchestrated shooting & starving of children in Gaza.
“Precious children & babies are dying before the world’s eyes”💥 #Abc

They are rushing people through with sub standard phone assessments. Only recommends ‘meals on wheels’ or cleaners rather than identify real needs and develop packages in consultation with the user. One person was threatened with waiting for ever for an ACAT assessment if she didn’t agree.

Just received this email. Must think we are total idiots 🫩 Reported.

There’s a limit to how many times you can give the benefit of the doubt. Or shed tears over the nightly news while knowing that not one word of condemnation will be issued 😢

Without a doubt Labor will lose members if they adopt this report. This one included.

Jewish Council Rejects Special Envoy’s antisemitism plan The Jewish Council of Australia has today warned that the newly released Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism risks undermining Australia’s democratic freedoms, inflaming community divisions, and entrenching selective approaches to racism that serve political agendas. The report is riddled with misinformation and claims about nefarious funding sources for protests and universities that verge on conspiracy theory. The Council is especially concerned about the plan’s strong endorsement of the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been used to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism. The Council criticised the plan's emphasis on surveillance, censorship, and punitive control over the funding of cultural and educational institutions: measures straight out of Trump's authoritarian playbook. We caution that some of the reccommendations including new visa powers and judicial inquiries into student activity — risk censoring criticism of Israel, deepening racism, and failing to meaningfully address the root causes of antisemitism. The Council is calling on the government to: • Ground its response in anti-racist principles that include tackling Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, racism against First Nations people and all other forms of racism; • Engage a broad spectrum of Jewish voices, including those critical of Israel, who have not been consulted in the development of this plan; • Reject authoritarian proposals that erode civil liberties under the false guise of Jewish safety.

The @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social has put out a very strong and well argued statement rejecting the special envoy’s antisemitism plan

Israel: silencing dissent everywhere - The Shot The pro-Israel lobby isn’t designed to balance debate nor to enrich it – it is designed to silence it.

"Exactly how this 30-something man, who lived 500 kms away from my friend, felt “unsafe” in his living room in online meetings with a lone woman he’d never met is anyone’s guess"

Excellent from @ronnisalt.bsky.social in The Shot.👇

I have to agree. Even 10 years ago I had never been called “sweetie” or “dear”. Now that I am visibly aging it’s almost a daily occurrence. Even worse because I’m not someone who would ever be considered a sweet old thing by anyone who knows me 😂

Maybe nobody with merit will talk to them 🤷‍♀️

Steve Zenek from the Australian wrote this article where Darryl Maguire is described as “a disgraced ex-ALP MP”

Darryl Maguire is an ex-Liberal MP and Berejiklian’s ex-lover.

Did Zenek fk up or was this purposeful disinformation?

A retraction in print is warranted.

The media is an ass.

Bold and uplifting! You would enjoy Anna Chandler Designs.

Clearly lost touch with reality! Watched ABC Vic news for first time in ages and caught this eyebrow raising report 🤪

Also, Tamara Oudyn would be better suited presenting Play School. Back to SBS news

Sally and Michelle are such great assets to the union movement 🥰

Same experience for me with a chest infection last year. My GP has 3 -4 weeks wait time for an appointment. Can’t see her when I’m sick.

My only minor gripe is my urgent clinic is 3 suburbs away and not well connected by public transport. We need more of them.

@vanbadham.bsky.social Caught the last 10 mins of your podcast Dusted1 on RN this morning. Important history of silicosis in mining industry! Luckily it’s on line so I’ll listen in full tomorrow at the gym.

Looking forward to 2nd instalment too.

QLD LNP axing 75% of staff at Service Delivery in QLD Dept of Housing. Reducing pay of remaining permanents.

This is what the LNP do. They CUT services, cut health, cut education - to benefit themselves & their donors.

Campbell Newman 2.0 with a Joh gerrymander if they can get away with it

Sorry it took us a while Pacific neighbours.

All three gone!
