We all know that our single biggest existential threat is Climate Change. A potential runner-up may be governments' push for rapid, unfettered uptake of AI. Anthropic recently blocked an attempt to use AI to create biological weapons. See also this article... www.bbc.com/news/article... #auspol

Anthropic researcher believes more than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans'

It is the latest in a series of increasing warnings about the safety threat posed by artificial intelligence.

More than 3,200 older Australians are stuck in hospital because the aged care they need isn’t available. At roughly $2,600 per hospital bed per day, that’s over $3 billion a year. Imagine how much fucking home care $3 billion could fund. Politicians are seriously unintelligent. #auspol

When I said the proposed regulations from @albomp.bsky.social were utter bullshit, I meant it. We don't want half-arsed regulations while the AI companies slide sacks of cash under the table. We want bans. AI data centres are not welcome. Another fantastic video from the Juice Media. #AusPol

#auspol #AgedCare The Nov 2025 changes to the Support At Home system appear to be a major fail despite gov't claims to the contrary. If service providers can't make a buck out of it after having increased their prices by an average 38% - what next? www.theweeklysource.com.au/the-just-rel...

#auspol #AgedCare Hoo Rae, Old news but Aged Care Support at Home waiting lists were eventually shortened after pressure on govt to fix them. Now typically need to wait only about 10 months for interim funding at 60% of entitlement, then wait another period for the remainder. Too late for some.

Image referring to the govts claim of shorter waiting lists for aged care Support at Home. Some elders still die waiting for support.

#auspol #AgedCare There is an interesting doco named "Careless" currently running on Netflix. It highlights the plight of aged Australians as a result of "care" privatisation since the Hawke/Keating era with progressive degrading in the name of profit during the Howard, Morrison, & Albanese eras.

#auspol Aged care Support At Home offers taxpayer savings by allowing people to remain in their homes longer rather than moving into institutions. But recent changes have mandated service co-payments that are unaffordable for many pensioners. Please sign this petition: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

#auspol Recall how our current government claimed credit for early release of 20000 aged care Support at Home packages (after being pressured to do so)? The hidden detail is that many of these were funded to an "interim" value of only 60%. ETA for the remaining 40% unknown.
