"Australia's rampant, uncontrolled gas exports have played a huge role in increasing domestic gas prices as well as electricity prices" - Deputy Director Ebony Bennett on ABC Breakfast @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

We are updating the Cochrane overview of reviews that summarises the treatments used to improve arm and hand function after a stroke. Visit our webpage and blog for more details about this – links in bio.  #evidencesynthesis #bestevidence #evidencebased #EvidenceBasedPractice #strokerehab

So the #AusGovt will spend $Billions on deporting people & then claims it can’t afford to #raisetherate or continue #NDIS :/www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-28/first-nzyq-member-deported-to-nauru/105919846?utm_source=abc_news_app

Non nursing care (like showering, cleaning, meal prep, help to see GP) will be subject to a huge “contribution” by older people! Sneaky policy to transfer costs to pensioners and others on low income #shameAlbo

Israeli soldiers opened fire at Palestinians in Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-soldiers-opened-fire-suspects-gaza

Is there an explanation for why Palestinians are "prisoners" and Israelis are "hostages"? Is the implication meant to be that the Palestinians were 'criminals' being punished through imprisonment?

One Month Milestone for the MCS-Stroke Project It’s been just one month since we opened recruitment for the MCS-Stroke project across two NHS hospitals — and I'm thrilled to share that we’ve already recruited and assessed 24 stroke survivors using the new tool. www.linkedin.com/posts/sam-s-...

Happy to share the development, standardisation, and validation of the Mini - Oxford Cognitive Screen, a brief (<8mins) cognitive screen for chronic stroke survivors that is relevant for primary care settings. Now out Open Access in ESJ. @neledemeyere.bsky.social @eugeneyhtang.bsky.social

A change to ourNSW Planning system is being rushed through Parliament by Minns Gov with keen Coalition support as a ‘Planning System Reform Bill’ supposedly aimed to speed up housing approvals. They say. But it is widely pro-development of roads, mines & infrastructure.

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new analysis. share.google/FrLUSBkG5xrX... 🔌💡 #Upshift

New Australia Institute research has identified three simple tax reforms which would raise an extra 70 billion dollars a year without hurting low or middle-income Australians. Read the full report: australiainstitute.org.au/post/three-s...

The Albanese government has chosen a new freedom of information commissioner, making its third appointment to the role in two years www.canberratimes.com.au/story/904752...

Two of the single greatest advances of our lifetimes are mRNA technology and renewable energy tech and somehow the United States is now virulently against both.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

How did Gladys just walk away from this? It’s alright, I know how, but I’m still astounded by it. #NSWPol #AusPol

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Interesting take in this article, we concentrate on fixing disabled people instead of fixing the environment. Why can’t design include everyone? Why do we design for some, not all? Why do disabled people need to spend their time and energy fixing stuff?

Motor imagery can be a useful tool in #neurorehabilitation, but recent research found fatigue negatively impacts aspects of motor imagery in individuals with #multiplesclerosis, particularly temporal congruence & kinesthetic motor imagery abilities. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... #neuroscience

This study examined falls in inpatient rehab facilities in people with & without spatial neglect after #stroke. Spatial neglect was associated w/ fall location (⬆️ falls in hospital rooms). Completing more prism adaptation treatments was associated w/ ⬇️ falls. 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Britain’s willingness to follow France and recognise Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September puts extra pressure on Australia to do the same, writes Paul Bongiorno. It certainly gives Albanese the cover he believes necessary. http://satpa.pe/Gc9wmGr

Israel’s Rafah camp – ‘humanitarian city’ or crime against humanity? theconversation.com/israels-rafa...

Our ABC News site. Three stories that aren’t news about a convicted murderer, including Annabel Crabb “analysis” of why it’s a popular story and some speculation about how that murderer will fare in prison. This is all tabloid and gross, disrespects three victims and is in no way news. #OurABC

Watch carefully Australia, giving away the #Ningaloo is a baby step
