Never forget how many of those advising the ALP are patting themselves on the back for ensuring the govt did nothing in this.
“Not an issue/we made sure it hurt the Greens”
Those doing so are truly putrid. At best excusing murder, at worst cheering for it.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

Excluding dental from Medicare is a 5-decade old mistake. It would cost $11bn/yr to give all Australians basic dental care - way less than the $45 bn we lose in productivity from emergency and untreated dental issues - and the $14.5bn/y our government spends on subsidising fossil fuel industries.
Dentists want a free oral health plan for seniors as hospitalisations surge
As data shows thousands of over-65s are winding up in hospital with oral health issues, the Australian Dental Association is calling for a scheme that gives seniors access to free dental work.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
