Government promised no access changes to the NDIS before 1 January 2028. They've already started, per the tribunal. And the big 50% social and community participation cuts are now in force. Families tell me they will have to give up care of children. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

Our fucking sovereign wealth fund is making money from students paying $519 a week to share a room while Youth Allowance is $677 a fortnight. We're using public wealth to profit from a housing crisis instead of fixing it. How completely insane have we become? #auspol

Or Jeremy Rockliff's govt could demand the Fed Govt do more to mitigate the 'cause' of worse & 'wilder' bushfires: climate change. Stop heating up the planet, helps to stop fires from starting. And ABC et al could probably report more, & more accurately, on who is causing the climate to change.

The inflation problem. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a single mother, recently made homeless after defaulting on her mortgage repayments (as evidenced by visible paperwork), setting up a new home in a tent with her two young children. Surrounded by their essentials stored in storage and plastic bags, the baby crawls on the grass, his older brother heats some food over a camp stove, and his exhausted-looking mother blows up an air mattress. Watching her, the boy says, "Is this what they means when they say 'inflation is the problem,' Mum?"
