Original architect of NDIS says scheme is 'failing' to protect people it was created to help

In a world of Lindsey Grahams, be the Sam Neill

Disgraceful. The NACC should be setting the standard for all. So disappointing.

Australians want politicians who want to be politicians for people who cannot afford to buy politicians. Pauline Hanson has been bought by Gina Rinehart #auspol

There could definately be internal efficiencies within the Agency (not automation, just better Procedures). Honestly, have never experienced anything like it. More complex than it should be

I reckon ON is dancing for their donors too. The difference is that we know who some of them are

Same with disability…

theshot.net.au/uncategorize... Well said!

Modelling by the Treasury shows that 90% of Australians will be better off under Labor's new tax rules, and only the richest 10% will be affected. This is completely unacceptable to the opposition, who only care about the rich.

Good!

Mayor Mamdani is proof that if your pollies don’t fix stuff,strengthen your community and make people’s lives better it is simply because THEY DO NOT WANT TO.

So true

Tax the rich? Do our laws even allow that? ==============================

You can become disabled in an instant. People think those of us who are sick did “something” to deserve it. We didn’t. The just world fallacy is a lie. It just takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your life. Disability is not a moral failing.

When the white man came 🤷🏾‍♂️

Out west: notes from the Farrer by-election https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/05/out-west-notes-from-the-farrer-by-election/ #auspol

If the electors of Farrer want to send a message to the cynical major parties and to the Trumpist copycat Pauline Hanson’s ‘One Nation’ there’s only one sensible choice: community independent Michelle Milthorpe. Back yourselves folks.

Gina dropped BIG money into the seat and the ONP candidate is still neck and neck with an Independent who’s campaigning with next to zero money at all😂

Great point by Lenore Taylor. There’s too much media talk about the rise of One Nation, polls etc and not enough hard scrutinizing of the (lack of) policies, or extreme malevolence of what they do offer. #insiders

How can this be ok from anyone’s perspective?

Problem is then they vote for PHON. Even worse 😡

Adam Hills sang it to the tune of Working Class Man some years ago. Excellent!

And that’s just the last 2 years…

"Oil is priced on international markets, so more drilling does not insulate Australian households from price shocks. In other words, more drilling does not buy Australians cheaper petrol – it just changes who sells it." satpa.pe/EKXmdfW

Editorial: Every single person with disabilities will have to prove again that they deserve assistance. They will have to argue themselves into being worthwhile, to use their disabilities to justify their humanity. satpa.pe/KCN1qk3

Oddly I'd be happy for him to say this IF it were followed by "the neoliberal agenda of privatisation has failed and while we'll keep working with not-for-profits like RDNS we'll work with states and councils to establish public bodies to replace the for-profit services." For-profit is the problem.

If this is the case Farrer will get a moronic fool as their rep

Choose your own preferences. Vote wisely Farrer.

Participants underfunded, registered providers making financial losses. Definately stop the rorting and prosecute those who rip the system off

Can you imagine if Albanese came on TV tonight and announced closing of all US bases in Australia, cancelling AUKUS and closing airspace to US military? Perhaps in a parallel universe. #Auspol

The National Press Club needs to explain why they think it's appropriate to invite the Israeli ambassador to speak - a man representing a country that has murdered 300 journalists since it started is genocide in Gaza. Hillel Newman should be expelled, not honoured by the media.

Let it be Catherine Holmes!

Robodebt was the worst failure of public administration in Australian history. It raised est. $1.73 bn of illegitimate debts from over 430,000 vulnerable Australians and plunged thousands of families into distress and grief. And still no real consequences. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

James Paterson thinks, it was a good decision, to get involved in the Gulf Conflict. Hey Paterson. No one cares for your unqualified opinion. Except the Australian news media.

Hello Australia, a handy 🧵 on why we should MASSIVELY tax the ultra-wealthy & how we can get to it! #TaxWealthNotWork

Australia needs more checks and balances before a prime minister can take the country into a war. It should require a majority vote from both houses of parliament. At the moment, war can happen just at the whim of the prime minister, who might want to curry favour with an overseas actor. #auspol

The hypocrisy is big in this one. Pauline Hanson accessed a federal government rebate scheme to install solar power on her Queensland home, despite demanding an end to public subsidies for renewable energy projects. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Use your vote wisely Farrer.

#michellemillthorpe would be a great MP. Hoping she can prove your theory correct.

Definately time for a fresh perspective Go Michelle

Ask the Liberals why we need lower taxes #abc

Not taking advice from any of them.

Or do away with the game altogether and just award the trophy!

Imagine if we were trying to get Medicare started up today. The right parties would find a reason to vote against it. Albo and labor wouldn’t even put it up.

Such a time of mediocre people feathering their own nests.
