During the last term the Coalition insisted the only social license they need for Nuclear is the mandate people will give them at the election. In the end they got smashed, but are still pursuing it, proving it was never about the people. It was always about Gina Rinehart.

Not quite sure how we are meant to do that, but okay.

Int. law expert Chris Sidoti says after ICJ ordered nations to act to prevent Israel’s genocide, govt should’ve conducted review to identify anything that could be aiding Israel “There should have been a review…If it exists, make it public. If it doesn’t exist, do it!”💥 #NPC

In other news...off to Bris-Vegas for another test & a review. Hopefully 🤞🤞🤞 the organ damage is limited & the auto immune disease can be managed. I suspect, on paper, the test results suggest I should have debilitating symptoms. Doc is a bit incredulous I don't have varicese 😅

1/n I advocate on federal/state housing policy as it plays to the popular vote, ignoring a growing yet invisible cohort- the working poor. We earn too much for assistance, such as it is eg. Rental. But not enough to buy. So we are stuck renting, often 50% of take home wage. Zero tax breaks.
