How does a full pensioner afford the luxury of basic services with the co- payments being charged.

I already work full time for the government for a measly $80per week carers supplement. 🤬

Donald asks Pam Bondi to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with anyone *not named Donald J. Trump* because Donald's so innocent.

The released emails show that Donald spent Thanksgiving with Epstein in 2017, *after* Epstein's arrest and YEARS after Donald claimed he stopped seeing Epstein.

The 1975 “dismissal” of Australian Labor PM Gough Whitlam is often seen as a constitutional crisis initiated by an old British-led establishment.

In reality, it was a bloodless analog of other US-orchestrated coups against reforming left governments.

In NSW, white supremacist neo-nazis are allowed to run free with their hate, racism and anti-semitism, while those standing up for justice for Palestine are relentlessly attacked, policed and vilified.
