💯. They're going to suspend their elections altogether. That ridiculous Save act is a stalking horse they'll use to label Dems as opposed to fair elections and they'll suspend them until they can "fix" it. Been saying it since he was re-elected, they've had their last election.

He simply wants to sow doubt about the outcomes of US elections. That’s all. The hopelessly divided people will do the rest. He wants civil unrest onto which he can suspend civil rights and impose dictatorship. That’s the end game. #Trump

The corruption going on in plain sight is nothing short of astounding. This looks like a pay off for not using all the power of the US presidency to not destroy a business.

I’m not NDIS but can assure you the whole Disability sector needs a shake up. The NDIS has created a nightmare + costs have increased exponentially since its inception. Companies don’t want to take non NDIS clients because….not enough profit so you go without support. This includes cost of aids etc.

I do hope that the middle class employment & enrichment program known as the NDIS is somehow also able to support & house people with disabilities. Jeez this shit makes me cross. #4corners

A Facebook post offering women $55,000 to build their first home looked like a scam. But 15 women took the chance to go from homeless to home owner.

Same issues here in Canada and same myopic vision for the past 30 years. Allowing housing to be an investment tool was a monumental mistake that currently disproportionately affects the marginalised and is now affecting younger generations. We’ve stolen enough from future generations. Time to pay!!!

Have you ever wondered why charities grow bigger every year? At the very same time that State housing departments get smaller? And do you wonder why those without housing are now ‘charitable cases’ to be managed instead of citizens to be housed? I do

No amount of funding church & community organisations to feed, shelter, shower or ‘case manage’ people in poverty will end #homelessness. The only thing that does and ever has is housing. Permanent housing. Every state in Australia must reinvest in public #housing. This is a disgrace.

Apparently, it’s impossible to arrest and imprison so many rich and important men for these types of crimes and so imprisoning the only woman involved was seen as a priority.

I take a harsher view. If large corporations want to donate to charity they can do it out of their already vast profits. I’d rather give a few dollars to a homeless person or donate directly to a charity I know.

Housing, poverty, if these issues impacted MPs they'd fix them. If male MPs were impacted by violence against women that too would be addressed with real solutions. Truth is many MPs (& their masters) benefit from the housing crisis & poverty. Male MPs must benefit from keeping women threatened.
