One of only two remaining universal bulk billing clinics in Canberra went into receivership today and will close on Monday.
The ALP told us their bulk billing investment would help - it didn’t.
They claim their new investment will create 27 new UBB clinics here - it won’t

reminder to centre members of the Stolen Generations tomorrow (13/2). If you're a settler, no one needs to hear you politicise or twist the Apology. An apology that was a recommendation in Bringing Them Home report - it meant something to many who were stolen. So please, shut up & listen

Today I had a meeting with 4 other Indigenous women; all from remote communities; all with psych degrees.
A moment that needs to be acknowledged.
This is the “new Aboriginal” & the world better get used to it. We are no longer the “support act” to the psychologist; we ARE the psychologist

Ahh love the "we have a gas shortage" stories.
Nope, foreign gas companies just prefer to sell Australia's gas overseas for more profit.
(they also pay bugger all tax, and barely any royalties)

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
