The Albanese Government's new Single Assessment System is failing older Australians. They deserve better than RoboAgedCare - but the government's new algorithmic Integrated Assessment Tool is overriding the opinion of experienced assessors. We don't know how it assesses risk, need, or complexity.
Algorithm-based tool for home support funding is cruel and inhumane, Australian aged care workers warn
Mark Aitken, who worked in the sector for 16 years, said eight times out of 10 he disagreed with the integrated assessment tool

The path back for Angus Taylor and the Coalition is to build a narrative that offers hope rather than grievance – not one that shadows One Nation

Since its historic defeat at the last federal election, the Liberal party has been engaged in a frenetic search for its internal compass. What’s transpired has been less a course correction and more a series of sharp, haphazard turns: appointing its first ever female leader, walking away from net zero, reopening tensions with the Nationals, purging said female leader, and now pivoting towards One Nation voters with a hardline stance on immigration. If there’s a single unifying theme, it’s chaos.
Angus Taylor has declared his new shadow ministry will improve living standards and “protect” Australia’s way of life. But if you look at the voting trends from the last federal election, the Liberal party remains deeply out of step with modern Australia. And the Coalition is not doing well to mend relations with women and younger voters. Continue reading...

🧵Note #Auspol. We now have as Shadow Treasurer someone who was not only an Atlas Network partner actor, and also on the Mont Pelerin Society, but someone who was shortlisted for the top 🌎 Atlas Network prize for betraying Australia for fossil fuel.

Disgusting. To see the changes Whitlam made to State Aid being expanded at the expense of public education is soul destroying
Jane Caro: “We ask public schools to compete against private ones, but we don’t give them funding, resources to do so. We fill them with most disadvantaged, most expensive to teach students, including those rejected/expelled from publicly subsidised private schools.”
