Albanese shut down negotiations with states over hospital funding for six months last year, using the crisis in health funding to force states and territories to agree on disability supports outside the NDIS. There has been no agreement on either score. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

There is no supply of 25mg tablets of quetiapine [also known as Seroquel] in the entire country. I just bought the last after 100km of travel to five pharmacies [I live in the bush]. So when will it be back in stock? “Suppliers have told us they cannot guarantee supply.” 1/4

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

hard to avoid seeing the Tech Right as new neocons: elite cadre within the party, unconnected with concerns of the base and therefore with a limited shelf life. but that historically short run can be massively consequential anyway
