I agree. #RaiseTheRate

No complaints...

And to properly fund aged care. Labor have taken the first step in dismantling the system through co-payments for at home care. If the Libs get in they will use this wedge to break the system apart.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Since 2022, Australia’s screen industry has shrunk by 60%. Streamers make $4B here, pay less than 1% tax, and invest little in local stories. I’ve launched a petition urging the govt to mandate investment in Aussie content by 30 June 2026. www.change.org/p/save-austr...

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

“Our kids didn’t choose this crisis - but the government’s weak 2035 target puts them directly in harm’s way.” Join Nic Seton, CEO of Parents for Climate, and Professor Mark Howden AC, Vice Chair of the IPCC, for a 30-minute snap briefing. Register www.parentsforclimate.org/what_the_203...

In Australia, workers and employers both struggle to know what is and isn’t allowed when it comes to expressing controversial opinions.

Finland cut homelessness by giving people housing before fixing every other issue. No strings. No stigma. Just dignity. Imagine if Australia tried compassion instead of cruelty. #auspol #homelessness

It's no wonder there's an appetite for AI counselling when a single visit to a psychologist costs around $300

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

A stroll through the mangroves is bound to help 😄

Such a tiny thing for the govt, but huge for people who are struggling. Alternatively, and this is certainly possible, the pension is enough money, in which case all the f****** politicians can have their pensions be the same as the aged pension. #RaiseTheRate

I agree however that is not in the interest of the Albanese Labor government. Subsidising billionaires and fossil fuel to feather their own nest in retirement is more their bag

So true, if only the politicians were listening - and showed a bit of courage.

This whole week amounts to a single, resounding message from life saying, 'It doesn't matter how hard you try, you can't control things.' Possibly my least-favourite of all messages... 😅

Today I was out for an hour in one tiny forest island. There was a ton of chanterelles, but I did not have anything with me to collect. It rained a lot too, but I was able to take this pic with nice light. Stropharia hornemannii. #Isokaulussieni. #mushrooms #fungifriends

The hit piece commissioned because they were scared of our ad:

ANZ has acted deceitfully and it has profited. Misconduct of this magnitude cannot be waived through as business as usual. I asked ASIC, after 7 misconduct investigations in 8 years, where's the proof this fine alone will change the culture?
