For too long, dodgy companies like Sarina Russo and APM have cashed in millions of dollars on the outsourcing of massive parts of our welfare system.

Private job agencies take food off the table of thousands of JobSeekers with almost no accountability, transparency or oversight, and meanwhile Labor doesn’t seem to care if the system is even lawful.

Nothing in this report will fix the rotten soul of this system, which grants dodgy private job agencies extraordinary power over people’s lives with no oversight or accountability. The mutual obligations system needs to be abolished.

Trans kids won't disappear. Just like restricting abortions doesn't stop unwanted pregnancies. All it does is drive people to less safe care and ruin lives.
Never, ever fall for the line that transphobia is about protecting women. It is only about hate, it only ever has been about hate.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:

Every single person who is anti-trans is a slight scratch away from going full racist. It is basically a gateway drug for racism/bigotry.
It seems fine. You pretend it’s about protecting women. You can point to famous people on your side.
But it is only ever about hate. Disgusting & cruel hatred.
