The Hippocratic Oath is a joke, ‘Firstly do no harm…’ withholding healthcare due to financial considerations is doing harm you hippocritical bastards!

keeping in mind that asserting a 'religion' says nothing about goodness of heart

It is a serious handbrake on hopes of improving life for those with the least,
influence.

Did you know Australia is 1 of 6 OECD countires with no inheritance tax? Labor, Coalition & Greens have no plan to change it. $3 trillion will pass tax-free to the next generation. Without reform, Inequality will harden widening the wealth gap. Fair Go Australia?

Critical Social Issues Australia 2026 Must Address Discover the key social issues Australia 2026 faces, from housing to climate action, and how dollar sovereignty can fund real change.

So heartily sick of the torrent of news from the US and Europe.
V. much like to see more from Indonesia, Vietnam,Malaysia,Japan,Philippines,
Thailand etc.etc. The ASEAN nations (and the Pacific too).
This is where our future lies. We are so uniformed when it comes to our closest neighbours.

you'd have to assume that this is consequence of short term politics. The economic evidence for benefit of raising people out of poverty would be solid I'd have thought

Well done Victoria! Setting an example for the rest of Australia.

Valencia flood survivors seeking justice a year after disaster Toñi García lost her husband and only daughter. She is demanding the truth and justice: "They didn't die because of the rain, they died because of negligent management," she told Euronews.

A year later and people will already have booked to fly to Valencia next year on holiday. The same for Jamaica because we must continue business as usual despite the more we fly, the more will die and extreme weather events will get stronger and more often. www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

C’mon guys you are supposed to be adults solving very serious and expensive problem. Please settle down and discuss how we can address the underlying issues affecting our neglected and often #hungry #youth that is not a #prison expansion program for private companies. #auspol

I'd go for reestablishment of a Housing Commission and a mass build of modular public housing per @dncameron.bsky.social as Sweden has done.

This should be front page news for all Labor ministers. Don't just raise the rate: introduce a form of basic income for everybody. All the research shows that it works. Show some spine and eradicate inequality. #auspol #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome #poverty

Hot take: If you literally can't survive without it, a billionaire shouldn't own it.

Digital infrastructure is as essential as roads and hospitals. Let's act like it and nationalise it now.

#Auspol @albomp.bsky.social Should invite PM Carney to Australia and let him speak before Parliament as we strengthen our relationship
