I’m so sorry - we have failed hard working people 🥹

The never went out to concerts or for dinner, they did have a great social life through their not for profit association - they did trips to pick chestnuts & cherries and to italy to keep older Italians active

🙏🏼 thank you

🙏🏼❤️

Raise the job seeker rate? Can’t do it

Address the massive inequalities caused by negative gearing & avoided capital gains taxes?
Can’t do it

Stop demonising asylum seekers & address Islamophobia?
Can’t do it

It’s not either or imho Australia can look after everyone - the govt chooses priorities like aukus, increasing pay for public servants while people are falling through cracks. We need to invest in prevention & early intervention

Youth and children usually live with … women

Thank you 🙏🏼

I’m so sorry 😢 it’s happening to too many people - we need to be able to predict how much housing etc is needed so people don’t end up homeless

so we can rate & predict the financial security of people aged 45+

Appreciate thoughts and any leads on work done in this area.

This is a growing concern as we will see more renters with each generation.

Problematic bc we don’t have rent control or sufficient social housing for those who need it.

Keen to create a financial security index rating and apply this to each local state and federal area,

The median super balance for women aged 60-64 is $158k. The ASFA comfortable standard for a single in retirement is $545k

Both superannuation and age pension make assumptions about housing - renters are really not considered in calculations of how much you need in retirement.

And I should thank @squigglyrick.bsky.social as his 'Nervous Laughter' substack newsletter told me it was time to 'block the AI bots.'

In reality, they are thieves who just steal other's work and don't even acknowledge the creator(s) as if it's their own work.

F AI.

Shocking, I’m surprised

People are fed up with the lot of them - we just need more true independents to run 🤞🏼

This election I’m supporting @ziad_basyouny with @su.dharmapala because we believe in real community independents who want to serve citizens instead of their own interests. #auspol

We are a small country with less than 30 million people yet the average people falling through cracks is astounding to me. We absolutely deserve better than the pack of self serving politicians in parliament today.

Do you? Bc I’m working on it, been writing papers, applying for a PhD. We need to deal with Airbnb, tax reform & investment properties, it’s complex & wont be solved in silos
