JFC Our 'government' has learned not a goddamn thing from the Robodebt catastrophe. More vulnerable people to be thrown under the algorithmic bus. 'No One Left Behind', my arse. #AusPol #NDIS

It's raining in Colombo, so why not catch up on our webinar from earlier in the week about the @bayfirth.bsky.social Catching History project on the history of women's cricket in Scotland? Featuring interviews with 2 of the first official Scotland women's team. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P13...

Cricket & netball conspire once again. Both Aussie Diamonds (netball) & Aussie Women’s (cricket) play 3 times this week. Each time on the same day, twice at the same time 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tonight, Wednesday and Sunday. I swear this happens every year, despite how few diamonds matches we have. #CWC25 #AUSvSA

What an incredible act of cowardice by the National Press Club. WTF.

Pakistan bowled out for 129 (38.3) by a disciplined Bangladesh attack. Rameen Shamim 23 (39) Fatima Sana 22 (33) Shorna Akter 3-5 Nahida Akter 2-19 Bangladesh need 130 off 300 to start their campaign with a win. #CWC25 icc-cricket.com/tournaments/...

From 3 October 2025, if you use your funding to buy something that isn’t an NDIS support, you may need to pay the money back. Even if it costs less than $1,500. #Robodebt #NDIS

add it to the list

I’m trying to watch the replay of #AUSvNZ last night on Prime, but I can only see part 1 - Aussie batting innings. Do I have to subscribe to get access to part two? Am I missing something? #CWC25 🏏

Today's game makes Anne-Marie Garth (Ireland 1988) and daughter Kim (Australia 2025) the first mother and daughter to have played at Women's Cricket World Cups. #AUSvNZ cricket.com.au/news/4349630...

Last night I listened to two podcasts on the supposed Gaza “peace deal.” First I listened to The Briefing (listnr) with Greg Barton. I felt like I was being gaslit. Eg Hamas will give in & agree to it. If they don’t, Israel will stop the onslaught on Gaza City, and just target hamas individuals.

“Some of the people responsible for robo-debt are working outside the public service and not sanctioned by legal boards as far as I know, and some who designed robo-debt are still in the public service in compliance and audit roles. How can that be?”

Thank for sharing Maddy, situation is beyond totally fucked. Emailing & calling DFAT’s on ‘To Do’ list tomorrow. For others not aware below’s Australian Julie Lamont, aboard vessel WAHOO with the #GlobalSumudFlotilla bringing aid & food to Gaza, not getting help or even replies from Aus Gov. ✌🏽💜👊

Juliet Lamont is one of the Aussies currently sailing to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Despite 7 emails from herself, and many calls from family & friends, the Australian Government refuses to respond, let alone help. Contact the gov here: freedom-flotilla.good.do/samudflotill... #AusPol

PLEASE have your mammograms. 🙏 #BreastCancer

If you’re able, please consider donating to my friend. Her health is rapidly deteriorating and she needs urgent funds to access medical care to hopefully stabilise again. Last time she had her current symptoms she nearly died. Please share this link far & wide 🫶🏼 #MutualAid #pwME #disability

Last week was pretty wild. I had the unbelievable opportunity to speak at the UN Headquarters during #UNGA on why indoor air quality is an accessibility and inclusion issue for people living with chronic health conditions.

This is an excellent thread

Wellington! Some of our Covid aware folks have set up a mask bloc. This mask bloc can't run without the generosity of donors. Five dollars may mean that a checkout worker can take 5 masks that they can reuse for months. chuffed.org/project/1510... chuffed.org/project/1510...

Freedom of information requests should be free, an independent analysis has found, poking holes in the attorney-general's argument to introduce new fees www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907510...

“Italy joining the side of this humanitarian effort is a direct result of Italians shutting down their entire country this week for Gaza, in one of the most heartening (and effective) nationwide general strikes the world has ever seen”

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

This is very exciting! A small clinical trial using gene therapy for Huntington's disease has been successful. microRNAs were used to edit the Huntington mRNA, stopping it making mutant protein that can damage neurons. Huge hopes now for treating such a devastating condition

Here is an excellent article in @crikey.com.au by @beneltham.bsky.social on the ongoing mutual obligations crisis, and the tribunal decision which is the basis of this analysis: #ThePeopleVSRobodebt #PeopleVSRobodebt bsky.app/profile/crik...

"Something as simple as breathing in shared indoor spaces has become a barrier to accessibility and inclusion for millions of people, and it's time to change that!"

All episodes of 'The People vs. Robodebt' are now available to stream via SBS On Demand, ahead of the TV premiere of the first episode at 7:30pm. Please be aware if you've had a Robodebt or know others who have, it is quite intense. #ThePeopleVSRobodebt www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

"I worry about the ability of pensioners and older Australians to actually pay some of those co-contributions, which can range up to 80 per cent, and we really want to make sure people stay safe and well in their homes." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

"Where does a pensioner get $550?" In the Rushforths' case, the couple would pay the $554 up front to the radiology provider, and Medicare would provide a rebate of $459, leaving them $95 out of pocket. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

What a shock that all the journalists who for two years smugly said they wouldn’t call it a genocide unless the UN does, are still not calling it a genocide after the UN did

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

31 ball fifty for Beth Mooney, the fastest of her ODI career. Australia building for a mammoth total at 222/2 (30.0). #INDvAUS bcci.tv/events/230/a...

With the World Cup still to come (generally events at which huge numbers of centuries are scored), there have already been 28 women's ODI hundreds scored in 2025 (in 51 matches). This is just one shy of the record for a calendar year - 29 in 2024 (in 71 matches). #CWC25

This is the slippery slope Australia is quickly careening down. Internet restrictions & censorship. FOI requests inaccessibility. ‘Drops’ censoring parliamentary journalists. Restrictive protest laws. We have a real time example of where this can end up if we don’t object now… #AusPol

Gee I wonder how an ex-politician who did not solve Robodebt will also not solve the issues within the higher education sector?

Ah yes. A 4-6 week course to become a nuclear engineer. What could possibly go wrong?! #AusPol

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

Of course 5:30pm on a Friday is when you do your presser for a story you want to be gone... "Optus’ network failed for triple-0 calls, contributing to three deaths, CEO says Optus’s CEO, Stephen Rue, says the telecommunications company had an outage affecting triple-0 calls." YIKES YIKES YIKES

Oh, look. I've finally managed to bring this account over to the ol' BlueSky too. That's a good piece of random information with no larger importance, I'm sure.

Because 'Antifa' is not an organisation, this means anyone can be designated 'Antifa', just as anything in Hong Kong can be designated a threat to 'national security'. State terror works best when no-one knows where the line is.
