ANU has cut courses & 100s of staff, with a supposed "operating deficit" used to justify it. However our research found that ANU had a $90m surplus in 2024 in the audited accounts. “It's not clear why a Govt owned not-for-profit would be seeking to generate a surplus" – @richarddenniss.bsky.social

The SCOTUS decision giving an expansive view of presidential immunity was prior to the November 24 election of Trump. The American people knew that, and also that he incited a violent riot when he lost in 2020. They elected him anyway. Those who voted for him (or not at all) chose dictatorship

Compared to the past fortnightly National report, the latest report has: 😷More new fever and new cough 😷Higher self-reported influenza 😷Rising GP visits for influenza-like-illness 😷More severe hospital admissions (36.8%, #flu; 31.5 COVID-19; 31.6% RSV) So clinical impact is increasing.

@simonahac.bsky.social Today I read that you are “the architect of the most disruptive force in Australian politics” (ABC — Robertson and Walsh). No offence or anything, but I think that title belongs to Murdoch. (They managed to make it to the eleventh paragraph before mentioning your dad).

Australia: 2025 Public Hospital Report Card. "The picture is far from rosy with performance during 2023–24 remaining markedly worse than it was just 5 years ago across all states and territories." @ama_vice @Mark_Butler_MP Report: ama.com.au/sites/defaul... Source: ama.com.au/clear-the-ho...
Australia’s public hospitals are a crucial part of our health system. But for years they have been in logjam — a logjam that’s led to increasing wait times for essential surgeries and longer waits for patients in our emergency departments (EDs). 

The Australian Medical Association’s annual Public Hospital Report Card — published since 2007 — has recorded a steady decline in public hospital performance year-on-year, with last year’s report detailing the worst performance in the history of the report.

This year there is some good news. The most recent data shows improvements compared to 2022–23 including: improvements in the percentage of patients triaged as emergency being seen on time; the proportion of category 2 planned surgery patients being seen on time; a drop in the median waiting time for planned surgery; and an increase in the number of public hospital beds available.

But the picture is far from rosy with performance during 2023–24 remaining markedly worse than it was just five years ago across all states and territories.
