The Thriving Kids program won’t include MBS numbers for speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychosocial therapy. If the NDIS isn’t funding it, and neither is Thriving Kids, that means the families of children with autism exited onto Thriving Kids will be expected to privately fund these services

The Australian media ecosystem is utterly compromised in favour of Israel and every individual with a profile on TV or in the legacy press understands their career is contingent on them never criticising Israel. The only path out of this is for Hamish and Andy to come out in support of Hezbollah
