I see Australia's right up there. How fucking ridiculous is that. It's enough to make me sick with rage. No money to lift people out of poverty; no money to fund public schools; but hey ... military spending? Just name your price! We have lots of blank cheques! #auspol

At least we now have proof that Dutton's nuclear "plan" is a mishmash of wild assumptions, burning ideology and plain fantasy. Let's hope Labor has a better strategy to dismantle this destructive distraction than just bleating "it doesn't pass the pub test".

On This Day in 1979: The WHO declared smallpox eradicated, the first disease eliminated by global vaccination.

A testament to science and collaboration, this milestone reminds us what's possible when public health is prioritized, and what’s at stake. Let’s keep moving forward. 🌍💉

1000 people — maybe even more — had their welfare payments unlawfully CANCELLED because Dept of Employment / Services Australia can’t read their self-defeating legislation that dictates mutual obligations to jobseekers. Latest in a series of bungles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...
Exclusive: Welfare payments cancelled unlawfully
An error in the interpretation of welfare legislation has led to the unlawful cancellation of payments, as the department fails to manage its own compliance system.

The inquiry into food security report was tabled today, and something is clearly missing. There is a duopoly sized hole in the report.

During the hearings we heard a resounding message from many organisations in the food relief sector, councils, and people affected by food insecurity. 1/5

The moral panic around processed and packaged foods is not helpful.

Processed & packaged are not nutritional descriptors - some are highly nutritious staples, or part of highly nutritious & balanced meals.

Using them does not make you a bad person, avoiding them doesn't make you a hero.

Ethnic cleansing.

“1.9 million people have been displaced in Gaza out of a population of 2.2 million people.

Another day and another case of the IDF murdering one of its favourite targets - health workers.

Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke is twenty two years old, a member of NZ parliament and just objected to a terrible bill using the haka. Her defiance in the face of right wing shenanigans is inspiring.
