A performance audit of the $880 million Resilient Homes program and the $100 million Resilient Lands program found neither had been effectively planned or administered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority. Of the 4,382 homes or housing lots promised, zero had been delivered as of March 31 this year.

So there’s been some discussions tonight about a possible family intervention (not our immediate fam). Obviously I’m not directly involved but I had to comment because I was concerned about some of the things that I was told people were intending to say. /1

I’ve been a bit opinionated tonight (at home). Mr G: You should use your tongue for good, not evil… Me: I’m assuming evil is expressing my opinion? Mr G:

Five women and two children have been allegedly murdered by a man known to them in the past week. More than 20 women have been killed this year. The only acceptable number of women and children killed by family, domestic and sexual violence in Australia is zero.

“The NDIS was never intended to replace health, rehabilitation and treatment services which play a critical role in preventing lifelong disability.” Then they should have kept those services going

So unfortunately quote posts are not allowed for my repost below ⬇️ Anyway RIP Clarence Carter 🙏. Every time I hear Strokin’ it makes me laugh. Literally lived some of that song’s lyrics while it was playing. Sorry officer, we’ll turn the music down 😉.

RIP to the great Clarence Carter. Here’s what William Friedkin told me at the Harvard Film Archive in 2014 when I asked him about ending KILLER JOE with “Strokin’.”

Very brave of Matt Doran. Will he be subjected to mass email complaints like Laura Tingle? Time will tell I guess 🤷‍♀️

Could not give a crap about #Eurovision it used to be fun, quirky entertainment. I get the insecurity we have to need to be recognised by other countries. But aside from the fact of Israel is participating, we should be brave and boycott. But Delta? Really? I could not name one song of hers.

One point of tonight’s conversation was HECS debt. While grateful that there has been some reduction, one said that they regret going to Uni. Many of their friends can’t get jobs in their field. While they could have studied less subjects, still got a job in their field, & had less debt.

Talking with Gen Z people tonight. Albo has probably overestimated how happy they will be with his policies promoted to get them into homes. That said they all think “Well done Angus” is an absolute idiot because they know how important immigrants are to help keep certain industries functioning.

We're very disappointed in the Budget. Communities needed funding to prepare for climate disasters and there was nothing. Extreme weather now costs Australians $38B a year and the cost is only increasing. It's time big polluters paid their fair share. 🖊 bushfiresurvivors.org/mbpp #AusPol

James Wan's The Princess Bride

Hey Australia, with all our Irish descendants #auspol

Mr G’s little sister living the dream in NYC an island of sanity. Unfortunately thanks to my social media commentary I won’t be able to go and visit her 🙄.

Auburn.

Fucking hell.

A budget detail many missed last night was how the Albanese Labor government is addressing what it calls social cohesion. It is cutting $9 million from the Australian Human Rights Commission, the independent body that protects and serves every community equally.

Maybe what we need is a team of qualified people from all sections of society separate from the government to actually manage the country's budget. Eliminate the political point scoring and lobbying.

Who The Fuck do these scammers thnk they are!?! How DARE they send me shit like this, threatening me in the name of a company? @mynrma.bsky.social are you aware of these emails your members are getting bombarded with? #auspol

What utter shite. Our media turn every election into a gotcha game, making any adult talk of actual reform impossible. And in my 37 years on this planet and across the political spectrum, that’s been the case. It sucks, but media that runs advocacy campaigns is a big part of why this happens.

Do not follow me for financial advice ⬇️ 😂 watching budget analysis last night.., Me: What’s an ETF? Mr G: (shrugs) Me: Hmmm (thinking) Me: Maybe it’s like those cartoon monkeys that were all over the internet a few years back.. Mr G: Are you high? Me: (googling) OH they were NFTs, never mind

Preach Asher 🙌🏻. I’m in awe of your ability to express real facts.

This times like 1000. Damn Asher just really nails the struggle. I’m not struggling atm but please read her words.

There’s no “resilience program” or “feel your feels” session that fixes entrenched systemic disadvantage

Hey @ajaanmark.bsky.social are you still in the Bankstown area? Just letting you know that the restaurant I raved about (and thought had shut down) is reopened. Tokyo Samba is back! We only realised when we got an email for Mother’s Day lunch, unfortunately we’d already booked elsewhere.

So apparently someone has been charged for antisemitism at at netball game. Excuse me? Over the years attending my son’s sports game I’ve heard some absolutely repulsive things said by other parents. The worst of which was at an under 8’s cricket game “d***y b***k chucker” I lost my shit at them. /2

The rich need a high unemployment rate to keep us desperate so we can't pick and choose our jobs or walk out of a hostile workplace. They need high interest rates to increase mortgage foreclosures so that they can snap up investment properties at bargain prices from banks. #auspol

The most frustrating thing about politics in Australia is the people that are not “switched on”. I can’t even be critical of them because they are just trying to survive. Unfortunately this is what the duopoly rely on. How do we engage them? #Auspol #Duopoly

Horrendous that our government isn’t demanding their release. Interesting that the IDF is lurking off the coast of Greece. I recall seeing a story about the Greeks being annoyed about Israeli’s purchasing up land/housing in a certain area.

Not religious? Market NO RELIGION on the census. It does have economic and policy impact. #CensusOz

It’s also worth remembering racist hate group Advance is funded by Australia’s taxpayer-funded “Antisemitism Envoy” Jillian Segal — paid to promote “social cohesion” — and her husband John Roth. She is still refusing to provide any meaningful response... theklaxon.com.au/jillian-sega...

Also worth remembering that Aboriginal Land Rights are one of the biggest impediments to mining expansion. That’s what’s really behind Gina and fossil fuel entities sustained attack on First Nation people. Racism is an ugly strategy but ‘they’ do not blink. #auspol

With the booing at Anzac Day services, it's worth remembering it was Gina Rinehart's disinformation group "Advance" that ran a clinical anti-Welcome to Country campaign immediately before last year's dawn services (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/liberals-adv...

Perennial post in light of racists booing the acknowledgement of country at this morning’s dawn service.

Could we clone David Pocock? I mean , desperate times. #auspol

I had some interesting conversations tonight. One person was convinced that immigrants (specifically Muslims) were given direct access to Centrelink benefits. WTF? I’m suspecting some weird ONP Facebook post. I actually said that to them. I also pointed out the difficulty people have accessing it.

Universities are being turned too. I miss working in them still at times but I don’t know if I’d want to go back

#Auspol sharing my thoughts about #NDIS #privitisation #healthcare

I’m infuriated at what has been happening with the Govt decisions about the #NDIS don’t punish recipients for your failure to implement a system to support them properly. Like previous governments for decades you have privatised what should be government responsibility.

This is precisely why if I could live in any other country besides Australia… I’d choose Spain 🇪🇸.

Caught a snippet of the news. Erin Patterson’s husband is writing a “Mushroom Memoir”… Mr G: What’s it called? Kept in the Dark? Seriously if it’s not named this they are missing out on so many promotional opportunities. No bullshit 😂😂

Rose Jackson & Penny Sharpe should be sacked. Water birds abandon chicks, freshwater turtles dying, an incomprehensible disaster is unfolding in four protected wetlands because one land owner complained, Water NSW then cut the flow to zero in breach of env laws www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s not just research… it’s lived reality. I could just scream in frustration. Not pain though, because it’s all in my head or maybe there’s a pill for that doesn’t help 🤷‍♀️

Haven’t been on much. This week has been tough. Specialist appt has not helped resolve much. Back to the GP and then wait for the next specialist appt in June.
