I'd like to once again remind you for #BannedBooksWeek that Huckleberry Finn and Animal Farm don't need you to go out of your way to read them. Instead, support a book, and author, who a ban can actually hurt.

Will the withdrawal of free universal Covid vaccines be replaced with other free vaccines (MMR for adults) & proper rebates for iron infusions for women, weight-loss medication for people who need it but aren't diabetic, etc? Or will we just give polluting companies more of our money?

Yeah ok, sure, ‘The Right To Disconnect’ would be one good thing the Albanese government has achieved, except workforces are increasingly casualised, and sure, you can choose not to answer a work phone call after hours, but you might not have any shifts next fortnight as a result
