I have no words. Fucking hell...
Communication from City of Moreton Bay.

It reads...

“As a result of recent interactions involving People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH) and people illegally camping, City of Moreton Bay's Operations teams have been instructed to remain 50m away from PEH sites until further notice. This is for our teams' safety and wellbeing. This has resulted in missed maintenance, cleaning and servicing of many council owned places and amenities however Council continues to check locations regularly and will resume servicing at this location as soon as it is safe to do so. We thank you and appreciate your patience. Kind regards, CITY OF MORETON BAY City of Moreton Bay”

Polio...
5. Conclusion
On July 21, 2022, the USA witnessed the first case of poliomyelitis after nearly 3 decades of its eradication. Despite the efforts to prevent any further outbreaks, a case of paralytic poliomyelitis in a traveller residing in Rockland County was reported to the New York State Department of Health. According to the US CDC, the detected sequence has been found to have VDPV2 vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 and this might suggest that the origin of the virus affecting the 20-year aged man travelling from Hungary might be from the OPV. Since poliomyelitis is a highly contagious disease with no available cure, prevention remains the key. As a result, the CDC has recommended reliable immunisation to all New York residents especially those who are pregnant, 2 months of age or older, and those who have not finished their previous polio vaccination series.

Deja vu. www.politico.com/news/2020/11...
One of the first things Donald Trump’s team did after winning the 2016 election was fire its transition staff and toss the binders of prepared materials into the trash.

In the coming weeks, the new transition team would name Cabinet picks without vetting them, knife each other over senior White House roles and not-so-privately spar over Trump’s agenda. It quickly became apparent that the only process for decision making was the incoming president dishing out impromptu directives on Twitter or from the

I *think* that share screen is determined by your device not the site. Some sites have share to Facebook/Xitter/whatever links embedded on their site/app. If you use the device provided share button then it's whatever your device allows you to use... I'm on Android so it's a bit different...

I've always thought it strange when people talk about the two state solution but only one state has ever had proper recognition. www.dfat.gov.au/geo/occupied....
Australia does not recognise a Palestinian state. We are committed to a two-state solution in which Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist, in peace and security, within internationally recognised borders.

You know it's only polite to follow people back? Expecting people to follow you without following back is a show of arrogance. It might have been just the way it was done over on Shitter but this is a different place. It might be time to rethink your privilege.

Queanbeyan Hospital uses word soup to confirm ban on surgical abortions. There's no such thing as banning abortion, all it means is banning safe abortion. I wonder if NSW southern LHD know what patient centred care is? www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...
“As such, the (Local Health) District is now looking at what this might look like moving forward and until such times, this procedure does not currently sit within Queanbeyan Hospital’s delineation.”

A worthwhile read, some thoughts by Elizabeth Warren. time.com/collection/t...
Screenshot of article by Elizabeth Warren in Time magazine.

“During the Trump years, Congress stepped up its oversight of his unprecedented corruption and abuses of power. In the Senate, Democrats gave no quarter to radical Trump nominees; we asked tough questions and held the Senate floor for hours to slow down confirmation and expose Republican extremism. These tactics doomed some nominations entirely, laid the groundwork for other cabinet officials to later resign in disgrace, and brought scrutiny that somewhat constrained Trump’s efforts.”
