Tomorrow I am moving into respite care, where, despite the paperwork clearly stating that signing up to MyMedicare is voluntary, unless I sign up, I can't be admitted.
A new meaning of the word voluntary, I see.

Last week, I wrote a piece about Aussie sites breaking Google with misinformation, something I've continued to track. Out of 142 URLs, 66 were used for misinformation.
In the interest of helping, I provided Google my resources. This week, it's rolling out fixes.
Score one for journalism.

Been watching the first few episodes of The Hack on Stan, about the News of the World phone hacking scandal, and I’m so glad that whole thing cleaned up the media/police/govt power monopolies and everything is above board now.

Still amusing to me that MAGA’s alpha male hero is obsessed with a gilded ballroom. They voted for Rambo and got Liberace.

Has anyone considered that tRump may have screwed up yet again, confusing the question from an ABC (Australia) journo perhaps with equally astute statements froman ABC US journo about how corrupt the tangerine turd really is?
Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.
