The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

in this world of captured democracies and authoritarian oligarchs, it’s dangerous for the ABC to suck this badly. We don’t have much else.

Israel is mass murdering journalists and Aussie media loves that shit - The Shot
In just 18 months, Israel has murdered 209 journalists. This is a journalist murderfest more grotesquely deliberate than any other conflict in history.

It is outrageous hypocrisy for any political party to commit to greater mental health funding,
while simultaneously maintaining "welfare" polices that create and exacerbate mental disorders, including driving some to suicide. #poverty #inequality #auspol

CW: mental ill health + suicide.
The welfare system kills people.
Politicians force us to live in poverty, then pretend to care with band-aid funding for services that do nothing to address the poverty & cruel welfare policies that drive us to despair.

‘We call that social murder’: Five years on from COVID supplement payments, more of us live in poverty
Five years ago Scott Morrison doubled JobSeeker payments, temporarily shielding millions from poverty. As costs rise and poverty rates worsen, why can't the government do that again?

Hi, I'm Avery, and I’m the Greens candidate for Fowler.
I’m running because I believe that Parliament can and should do more for us. Everyone deserves to have a home, food, and world class health and education - I’ve seen those goals get harder than ever over the last few years.
