Can this tour, please?!

I don't know if it's safe, but it will take months for the reassessment to even happen. My mum applied for a reassessment in late Oct, was still in the queue in February and the only reason it finally happened was because she was admitted to hospital. She might still be waiting otherwise.

Same here with the Australian Electoral Commission

I am now Centrelink nominee for Mum and Dad so I can deal with their changing circumstances (a move to aged care because there was no support that could keep them at home anymore)

Taking from disabled people to give to people in aged care is a cynical political exercise from Labor.

Pitting people who genuinely need care against each other while leaving $17 billion in the pockets of gas corporations they’re too cowardly to tax is shameful.

we all know I have no life, so:

I have seen the benefits of the NDIS and Support at Home - and I've seen them start to crumble, as our Federal Government prioritises algorithms over actual care. Assessment time has blown out and getting care delivered even after you're approved has a wait time of a year on some essential services.

I sat and listened as my parents were assessed for further in-home help and the assessor explaining how her hands were tied and there was little she could do to help them get the support they needed.

Image of dancing women next to a headline which reads: Rebel Wilson's THE DEB is great fun but it tanked. Is this the fate of the Australian movie musical?

No, it's just the fate of a film stained by allegations of sexual harrassment and a publicity team whose hands were tied given the director is awful.

Labor to cut new NDIS spending and limit eligibility as it unveils ‘unavoidable and urgent’ changes Federal health minister Mark Butler announces major cuts and says scheme is costing ‘too much and is growing too fast’

With an ageing population, of course the NDIS will keep costing more - must slash services!!!?!

Better to increase defense spending to 3% of GDP, right? Fuck Labor.

I think of biopics as being of somebody where you could, in theory, tell a story about their whole life or any point in their life because of a long career or they are that famous. DMW is a very specific story about a particular part in Mary Prejean's life, so not a biopic for me.

Haha. Yeah, Peter is a real piece of work.

Yes, moving and very strange!

Wolf Play is a great play.

I still think of SNW S1 as a great season of Trek, but Hemmer's death still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. A truly poor choice.

They could have done some really cool disabled representation with Hammer, but it was more important for him to be inspiration porn for abled bodied characters.

I’m so sorry you were done so dirty.

I want this to be discussed as much as the new film about Jackson.

Yeah, this 62 million number has escaped containment and it's all over. It's so pervasive now that I'm seeing usually reasonable people sharing it because they think it's real.

Reading Christie, Fleming and some other problematic British writers of this era is quite interesting as they are very well travelled so you end up with these fascinating travelogues with the most weirdly xenophobic tour guides.

Wes Cravan fans demand a People Next Door/People Under the Stairs crossover event.

Yes, of course.

WHAT.

I assume Molly's daughter Chloe is running the pub or something now? And she's in love with Simon & Vicky's kid?

Let me reunite the cast of HOMICIDE: SECOND SHIFT, the 1997 (!) web-only spin-off of Homicide Life on the Street that starred Alison Janney.

Stage managers. What you’re looking for is stage managers

PRAC-TWO-CAL MAGIC.
