Or maybe we should just nationalise all health care so that it is equitable for everyone. It’s astounding the amount of subsidy the gov pays to PH rebates while patients still face large out of pocket costs.

A waiting list isn’t a replacement. A service you can’t access isn’t a replacement. A service that doesn’t exist locally isn’t a replacement. Build it before you remove it. 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV9... #ProtectOurNDIS

The Labor Government promised Parliament that it would step up its advocacy against executions worldwide, so now they need to show they mean it. Silence from the Prime Minister now exposes the terrible truth that our national principles stop where the US alliance begins.

There's something deeply fucked about measuring the economy by how much stuff we produce and consume, but barely measuring whether people have enough time to cook dinner, know their neighbours, raise their kids, care for their parents or actually enjoy being alive.

Original architect of NDIS says scheme is 'failing' to protect people it was created to help

NDIS 'failing' some of the very people it was set up to protect
Experts say the National Disability Insurance Scheme is failing people like Lucy, whose one-on-one care for severe disability has been deemed "not value for money".

Modelling by the Treasury shows that 90% of Australians will be better off under Labor's new tax rules, and only the richest 10% will be affected. This is completely unacceptable to the opposition, who only care about the rich.

You can become disabled in an instant. People think those of us who are sick did “something” to deserve it. We didn’t. The just world fallacy is a lie. It just takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your life. Disability is not a moral failing.

Out west: notes from the Farrer by-election
With the Farrer by-election on 9 May approaching, an independent campaign is challenging decades of Coalition dominance by turning up, listening and building support town by town.

If the electors of Farrer want to send a message to the cynical major parties and to the Trumpist copycat Pauline Hanson’s ‘One Nation’ there’s only one sensible choice: community independent Michelle Milthorpe. Back yourselves folks.

Great point by Lenore Taylor. There’s too much media talk about the rise of One Nation, polls etc and not enough hard scrutinizing of the (lack of) policies, or extreme malevolence of what they do offer. #insiders

Labor’s NDIS reforms
When Bill Shorten began his reform of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the agency responsible for the scheme commissioned “narrative” work to help sell the changes. The man tasked with reviewing the scheme was shown the research before he was shown any modelling on cuts.

Oddly I'd be happy for him to say this IF it were followed by "the neoliberal agenda of privatisation has failed and while we'll keep working with not-for-profits like RDNS we'll work with states and councils to establish public bodies to replace the for-profit services." For-profit is the problem.

The National Press Club needs to explain why they think it's appropriate to invite the Israeli ambassador to speak - a man representing a country that has murdered 300 journalists since it started is genocide in Gaza. Hillel Newman should be expelled, not honoured by the media.
