I'd add that affordable housing often only has to be affordable for a set number of years. There are incentives to build affordable housing or have a percentage of units in a complex as affordable, but after 10 years they can revert to market rent etc (no. of yrs may differ per state & scheme)

All the best Jon

They mostly give you 50-100 woolies everyday rewards points... for reference 2000 rewards points equals 10 dollars.

I thought she was both the hero and victim of robodebt, didn't all her friends tell us so...

Grog's rule of privatisation:

"The day you decide to allow the private sector deliver a public service is also the day you should set the future date for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system."

I meant like-for-like on the witness front but It'd have to be Justin Greggery KC

I watched the Robodebt RC & the Horizon hearings. Line-for-line you could match the bureaucrats, lawyers, managers, politicians from the Aus scandal with their equivalent from the UK scandal. It freaked me out how similar the people were.

This is awesome. Huge congrats and an even bigger congrats on the fundraising for such a good cause.

You've got a mandate, fucking use it

He did the same thing in his 2022 victory speech.

I’d argue actual disengagement shows up as a donkey vote or informal vote or just paying the fine if you can afford it.

My reading of that paragraph has changed each time I've read it. My latest is that it's not saying rent assistance decreased rents, it's saying the increase in RA is equivalent to 1.3% of what rents increased by (on average etc).

Exactly. I don't want to knock the policy too much & it'll help some people. I'd be more enthusiastic about it if it was just a straight increase in the rebate & trust GPs to choose when to bulk bill. We have to trust them with our health, Govt could trust them a little more with the money.

The new bulk billing rate would still be less than my GPs current up front fees. Closer though & they would likely bulk bill more appts at these rates, but if all appts must be bulk billed to get the higher rebates I doubt they'd do it.

awesome news

Every morning we wake up to more horror – but worse than that, more people who are seemingly indifferent to it. Compassion burnout is real, but it is also what power wants. Empathy keeps us human and yes, it is heavy, but it's a burden worth holding ♥️

Pretty sure he didn’t get a wild card and instead used his protected ranking of 20 something to get in the main draw.

Have whatever kind of day you want. I’m not demanding merry if you feel differently

They've done the same thing with Brisbane busses. Near impossible at night to see when your stop is. Absolutely hate it.

I'm now oddly invested in this young love story.

Hope you're ok.

Awesome. Congrats!

This made me smile!

Just spent 2hrs looking after a runaway puppy near a very busy main road. Super cute but super stressful. Police & RSPCA transferred me to Council, but council couldn't help since it was past 3:30pm. Very grateful for the kind stranger who stopped & helped.
