Minns knows this is untrue. NSW Police do not need more powers, they need to stop providing police protection to Nazis. Same applies to Victoria Police.

Mrs Ks 3 open-heart surgeries, stroke treatment, rehab, skull base growth monitoring, and this year's complete cardiology workup 3 echocardiograms, CTs, MRIs, TEE, angiogram, and neurovascular review, out-of-pocket medical cost for the current year, thanks to Medicare, is likely only around $500.
Average healthcare costs in the US:

Giving birth? $18,000

Cancer treatment? $150,000

One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.

That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.

Cost in Canada? $0.

Cost in the UK? $0.

Cost in Australia? $0.

The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

Proud to be a tiny part of this wonderful film, gorgeously shot and acted, #PikeRiver is about two women’s drive to honor their loved ones (+27 others) killed and all-but-erased in of one of NZ’s uglier corporate cover-ups.

In Rebel Moon all the leadership knew the girl hadn't slain the old royal family because they had all just done it themselves.

But when the traitor king tells them she did it, and it's due to her being a "cancer of ethnic impurity" they all immediately cheer along.

I don’t think “Brands™️” will ever do well on here but I think small businesses absolutely can, just personally if I’m driving through a city and there’s a bookshop on here or a zoo or an ice cream place or whatever I am far more apt to drop in than I ever was on Twitter

Very interested in seeing how Build Canada with their prefab modular public housing goes and if they will have Sweden and Norway's success levels with it (better, faster, cheaper).

Carney doing the obvious stuff which being unleashed from the US aids I suspect.

It’s utterly inorganic. Driven by the kind of forces you have so many journalists covering including Henry Jackson Society. Tied to rightwing pol/media. Transnational. Distraction from austerity

Seriously if Dems think this will win them anything with Donnie Dealmaker but worse treatment let alone with the voters - they really are in a bubble.
Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

A reminder - governments *can* do things.
A progressive government *should* do things.
A better country is possible.
Governments *choose* what they do (or do not do).
