Well, this could be it for me.
I won't be taking part in any of this age verification bullshit imposed by the insufferably grotesque Australian 'government'.
If I disappear, this is why. I refuse to condone this stupid ban by participating.
It's been real.
Thanks to those few who engaged.

We actually should not have empathy for people who subjugate children to their own torturous personal beliefs. These children suffered just as much pain and permanent disability as if they had been severely physically abused. This is not an innocent mistake. A functioning society cannot allow this.

No prizes for guessing the names of the two countries that voted against the 'International Day Against Colonialism.'
And no prize for guessing of course Australia abstained, being just another racist Western settler-colonial outpost built on the back of Indigenous GENOCIDE. #auspol #FreePalestine

In estimates today the Department confessed to me that older people are having their My Aged Care data stolen by providers for use in sales calls.
This is aged care under Labor: jacking up out-of-pocket costs then letting telemarketers loose to gouge vulnerable people even more.
