I mean, that’s pretty much the plan the government is proposing

Look, this NDIS stuff. It’s not the recipients. It’s the legalised grift of providers. It’s privatisation for profit. And even with NFP’s it’s still about making profit. It’s yet another thing Labor did without looking critically at the possibility of it going wrong. #NationaliseNDIS

160,000 people to be kicked off NDIS as government overhauls eligibility test

Mark Butler is an evil man and every the Labor politician who tows the party line instead of voting against this are genuinely bad people

We don’t know exactly how Israel’s dedicated advocates will now respond as their hall of mirrors collapses, their propaganda balloons burst, and their desperation grows.

The SAVE Act Will End Voting Rights for Women in America The SAVE Act has passed the House—we cannot let it pass the Senate

BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.

I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

Depends on the whiskey. Some are great.

The Iranians are saying “we’re not going to negotiate with a liar who changes his position every twelve hours”, and the Americans are like “we can’t stop him doing that”.
So yes, it’s all going great for the global economy.

New detection tech could make AUKUS submarines obsolete Chinese researchers have developed a new gravity-based detector that could be used to find submarines and render the proposed AUKUS submarine redundant.

“Angus Taylor said the 1300 Gazans who have come to Australia since October 2023 should be vetted again. He gave no evidence for his claim that they represent a clear risk to our country. This is unfathomable bigotry.” | Paul Bongiorno satpa.pe/C9u0wsb

Good thing houses can’t flee (more landlords should tho) 🤩

Let’s be honest, if there are any countries most likely to shoot off nuclear weapons it is America and Israel.

COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden."

"People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"

Which also means we don’t count the emissions from 83% of the gas we produce. That’s our contribution to climate change action 🙈.

If the Albanese government can’t even put a tax on gas in an era of war profiteering ….

Yes.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

I'm intrigued

A new Chinese gravity-based detector could make stealth submarines obsolete.
That raises serious questions about the long-term viability of AUKUS, John Queripel writes.
