One day I will write about a disabled son’s horrendous experience in a group home which led to all of the staff being sacked. Abuse, neglect, theft and fraud.
The NDIS is a great scheme. Things happened during lockdown when nobody could visit. Unfortunately how do you keep criminals out. #NotCarers

@egilhagen.bsky.social You asked me about Australian weather! Heading for four days around forty degrees where we are in Melbourne. We only got over the last heatwave three days ago.

Listening to Jim Maxwell and Alan McGilvray’s grandson on ABC radio presenting the Alan McGilvray Medal for Cricketer of the Year to Pat Cummins….and what do we have on Channel 7? Filler. This is petty.

Just listening to an American warning people not to travel to Australia. As awful as the firebombing of the synagogue was….in-laws family have lived down that street since the 1920s and still own a shop there. I don’t want to foster hysteria. We parked next to it later that day and went to dinner.

Dutton doesn’t even hide his bigotry any more. We knew that well before The Voice.

Listening to ABC Melbourne and a lady rang. She’d shopped at Woollies for years and now won’t go back because of the way they treat their workers. The closing para in this AGE article mentions that we care about empty shelves but we shoppers also care about people.

Elon getting angry will have zero effect on this legislation. Australia is not America. He doesn't own us like he does Trump. The fallout from this is going to be interesting. My guess is that other countries will follow.

Elon will be apoplectic. Regardless of where you fall on this issue, it is the first time ever that a sovereign country has forced X to comply with their laws.

It's true. Trump walked into a dressing room where teenage girls were in various states of undress. What sort of person does this?
