They've seen mental health care pushed to breaking point, and are sounding the alarm - ABC News
Doctors and nurses see people in crisis being turned away, patients discharged before it is safe, and interminable wait times boil over into life-threatening violence.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

The median super account balance for Australians under 40 is ~$57-60K
Many Australians who'd like to buy a house don't actually have $50K sitting in their super account.
As usual, Peter Dutton is talking baseless, unadulterated shit.

Julian Assange back home and last of Bali 9 arrived today. Also don't forget that Asian woman journalist jailed in China, who Albo got released, and an older gent also. An impressive list for Labor govt. Add in his intervention to let the Biloela family stay. Dutton was going to deport them.

Getting polio to own the libs.
And now this. My father had polio when he was a child in the 1930s. He thankfully survived. Many did not. This is, well, evil. Let's not mince words. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...
Kennedy’s Lawyer Has Asked the F.D.A. to Revoke Approval of the Polio Vaccine
Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Just like many other respectable professions of bygone times. I suggest journos don’t give up, just like past nurses, school teachers, police, social workers, and apologies for those missed, maintain your interest/hobby.
Fascinating piece in @crikey.com.au on the biggest threats facing journalism right now. Here are just two of the takes from those asked…

We dunno how many times we have to say this: there’s NO SUCH THING as a moderate LNP politician.
Because if they were in ANY WAY moderate or progressive in their views, they WOULDN’T BE IN THE FUCKING LNP.
Every time the media say “moderate Liberal”, they’re LYING. THEY DON’T EXIST.

Say hello to your (policy) friend down under
At a critical moment for the US, Australian culture has won a small victory -- and there is scope for an even more important Australia-American exchange via the sphere of public policy.
