... and get all their cooling water from the sea via their own desalination plants.

Maybe the Iranians designed this schedule after perusing Australia Post's latest letter delivery schedules. 😆

Australia’s largest rollout of humanoid companion robots signals new era in aged care - Hellocare Australia’s largest rollout of humanoid companion robots is now live in aged care, with 22 Abi units deployed across mecwacare homes supporting more than 1,500 residents and aiming to tackle lonelines...

If anyone needs another compelling reason to avoid (if possible) ever going into residential aged-care, surely this must be it...

Well they've already got black faces - so they're half-way there. 😆

... and NDIS and aged care.

Yes, they really have no teeth. They can only make recommendations to govt re things that should be changed.

Ombudsman investigating complaints about aged care tool - but not the tool itself - Hellocare Hundreds of complaints about an algorithm deciding aged care support, yet the investigation stops short of the algorithm itself. Critics say it is like reviewing the symptoms while ignoring the cause.

This is a result of the Albanese govt addiction to secrecy taken to extremes. This assessment algorithm should be in the public domain so that we may know the basis of any decisions that affect our right to services that affect our very existence.

Prohibida perhaps rather than verboten.

He might need to revise his usual strategy of using explosives to snuff the blaze though in that jungle of pipes. 😃

Sony Bravia -> boycott list.

Myth 4: Support At Home services other than clinical are unaffordable for full pensioners due to crippling co-payments.

This one is not a myth as it is absolutely true.

Renter in SA here. Yesterday had to negotiate our way out of an impending electricity bill INCREASE due to federal govt having ended concession arrangements.

For many households it's just talk. If you don't yet have a smart meter fitted then you don't get the "free" 3 hours per day.

Great idea - except for the 1 in 7 Australians whose main priority cannot possibly extend beyond mere survival.

Sound like a great opportunity to get ahead.

AMP probably know a thing or two about sidelines. Will never forget that one of their reps many years ago attempted to flog me Amway.

He obviously is a fan of reinvigorating The Crusades which puts him back into the 11th & 12th centuries.

Curious how Pope Urban II who is credited with kicking off the Crusades has a similar sounding name to Tone's mate Orban of Hungary.

Your allies maybe, Tones. But they're not our allies.

There are some things that Aussies can do to avoid the Yank disregard for our privacy. E.g. ditch gmail and the like for a European email provider like tutamail (in Germany) which provides end-to-end encryption. No more spam or scam emails & out of reach of Palantier, NSA, etc.

Did you see a spirit level on that pegboard? Conventional wisdom suggests that its a good idea to use one whenever you're installing a Hills Hoist type clothes line to ensure that it sits vertical. 😆

I've been on the scrapheap for 17 years. But even from here I absolutely refuse to give up on living and concede an entirely undeserved winning hand to the powers that be. We still have a duty to make our presence felt in the hope of improving our lot, even from our place on the scrapheap.

One of my neighbors regularly displays a rainbow flag. So I'm certain he is not One Notion.

... and in Au.

If Bananaby was a fuel he'd definitely be labelled E10. 😅

Me too. No longer an ALP rusted-on for many reasons, particularly Albanese's sycophantic sell out of Australia to the Yanks & Zionists. My main goal now at 80+ is to try to survive thru the Wells/Rae aged 'care' Suffer-At-Home scheme till the next election in order to register my protest vote.

Nah. Trumps threats to Iran have about as much credibility as staged assassination attempts or downed fighter pilot rescue missions.

We now have a class system in aged care: those who were grandfathered by virtue of being in the system earlier, and those who face an interminable wait to even get jnto the system. Grandfathered people are treated according to "no-worse-off", but new entrants are stung by enforced co-payments.

Probably. Re WWII I was born while it was still raging, but not then developed enough to accurately recall any first-hand detail. 😀

What an idiot. The Iranians must now be rejoicing that they've got him on the ropes!
