#Sudan is in stage 5 famine, just like #Gaza.

Generations of Westerners have been brainwashed on a media/movie/TV diet of being the Hero. Never the cannon fodder. Real revolution is bloody. People die. Real people are not movie stars or tired old tropes. Real people die in the rubble of their bombed homes. Real people fight for their beliefs.

ALL EYES ON THE FLOTILLA NOW! ALL EYES ON GAZA NOW! The flotilla is 150 miles from Gaza now & have joined with the boats from Italy, Spain, & Tunisia which are there to assure Israel doesn’t attack the flotilla or k*ll the activists onboard. Please follow & share. 🙏♻️ youtube.com/live/8yBnIfS...

"The Albanese Government continues to repeat that 83,000 new packages represent a historic investment. It ignores the reality that by its own forward estimates, this number will be grossly insufficient within a year, and catastrophic within a decade." #AgedCareAustralia

"The government’s approach is also riddled with contradictions. It says it wants to reduce demand for residential care, yet the design of Support at Home will inevitably drive people into institutions." Except - there are NO beds! #AgedCareAustralia

"Support at Home is not a Labor program in spirit or in design. It is an inheritance from the Howard-era vision of a privatised, transactional care economy." #AgedCareAustralia

"It is a system that effectively punishes people for being old & unwell. The government has rejected the long-standing principle that fees should be based on capacity to pay. Instead, it has designed a model that will burden people on low incomes with charges they cannot afford." #AgedCareAustralia

No longer birthdays .. one-year-closer-to-death days, now.

But .. you do.

I am on a waiting list for an OT. 12 mnths min. You'd think the govts for the past 60 fucking years would have planned for this huge cohort of aged people,wouldn't you. You'd think they're planning for the bigger one when the millennials get to retirement age, wouldn't you. Fucking rhetorical innit.

And so it begins again.

So one can no longer post DDTTIDF on TT. The initials .. not even the long version 😑 I will be deleting that app very shortly.

So I finally afford new walking shoes after 5 years and what do I do? Break my feckin' toes.

Good news. Good man. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Things that make me laugh. Younger people hating on older people growing older and frailer and needing more help. Like it's not going to happen to them.

Aged care service providers - corporate thieves & political donors.

Capitalism 101. Job service providers, disability support providers, aged care, home care etc etc. Just checked with family member casual rate of pay for home care worker is $33/hr so you can workout how much the companies pocket. Most jobs are allocated 30-45 mins so less than an hour of pay.

Under Labor’s Aged Care Act the worse your health, the more you’ll pay. The Greens tried to remove co-payments when the bill came to the Senate last year and we were the only ones to oppose the laws. Labor’s bleeding pensioners dry while giving tax-dodging corporations a pass.

Seems no one was paying attention when this was all announced a few months ago. Aged care is now just an industry same as disability care. It’s about $’s not provision of decent care/support.

@albomp.bsky.social You've just made aged care too expensive for average Australians, but you've given billions of our money to a demented child rapist from an unstable regime for submarines we will never receive. I notice you've kept the aged care providers rich with our tax money, though.

In stark contrast,Support at Home is not a Labor program & is not consistent with Labor values.It is a program continued on from the last Coalition Government & is conceptually based on Howard’s “reforms” to redefine the care economy as a private for-profit market. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

"New Support at Home payment model links fees to the number of hours of support needed per week.This unfairly penalises frailty.Those who are more vulnerable & in need of more support will face higher costs,effectively punishing them for their failing physical and mental health and their frailty.."

Watching my old cat die by crippling stages is heartbreaking.

What would happen if you can't take a shower for days, even weeks? This could be the scenario for many older women who need assistance from aged care services from November 1st.

DEATH DEATH TO THE IDF

2007.5 days since I've been isolated from society because nobody will wear a fucking mask. #GoingFuckingInsane #SoFuckingLonely #CovidIsNotOver

Have they all raptured off yet?

There’s a lot of righteous outrage in Australia about Optus’s repeated failures with triple zero emergency calls with possibly 4 related deaths. Calls for heads to roll. I would just like to remind Oz that 2030+ deaths were linked to LNP Morrison et al Robodebt. No heads have rolled. Get them all.

Could all those eejits rapturing away in the next 48 hours or so please leave me all their bank account logins, superannuation details, house titles, cash and anything else they're leaving behind? Can then settle down with social justice, housing for all, etc.

Star Wars on Disney. Could not be more ironic.

Hard to believe but, as a child, there was virtually no plastic used at the supermarket. That wasn't very long ago. Now, we're drowning in it. It's in our bodies. It's forever in our oceans, waterways and planet. One small thing has done irreparable damage.

He who controls the media, controls the world. Revolutions are not bloodless.

#auspol consequences for Babet need our actions. Send an email [email protected]

Once again I have contacted the Hon Sue Lines regarding the unconscionable actions of Ralph Babet. This time, he has doxxed an Australian citizen. This has got to stop. I urge everyone who has the strength to email Sen Lines at [email protected] to report him. Consequences for ALL!

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I miss Janey Godley.

Fuck! A journalist actually doing what a journalist should do! I'm utterly gobsmacked.

Short, sharp & to the point - white supremacist Australia’s contempt for the Pacific on display as it excludes Pacific Islands media from announcements by PM Albanese - on Pacific Islands affairs, in the Pacific Islands. They've pulled these harmful stunts before but the lesson is never learned.
