The NACC has let Robodebt's architects off the hook, while Labor's dubiously legal welfare compliance regime continues to demean, punish and harm thousands. Robodebt is not an artifact of history. It's a living warning to a Labor government that refuses to listen.

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.
Yesterday, the war parties teamed up to shut the door on Iranians trying to flee a war they endorse and support. We know that there are Labor MPs who oppose this war and Australia's involvement. It's time they spoke up. Silence is complicity.
Every Australian can see what's happening in Iran on their screens. Schoolgirls ripped to shreds. Hospitals flattened. Rivers of fire. Acid rain. THIS is what Labor has committed Australia to. An historically immoral and illegal crime with apocalyptic consequences.
Labor know their aged care algorithm is cooked - that's why they've put money aside in the budget to reassess it. But they still won't put humans back in charge of decision-making!
Labor says they're worried about the safety of Australians in the Middle East. They claim to be concerned about civilian deaths and the chaos that's unfolding. Well, maybe they should have thought about that before they were first out the gate to endorse Trump's illegal war.
Waiving some small historical debts and providing compensation for illegal income apportionment is welcome, but it's just scratching the surface. The govt needs to implement the Robodebt Royal Commission recommendations now and get to work on creating a social security system that lifts us all up.
Despite the govt trying to hide it we now know that 200,000 older people are waiting for home care. The money is budgeted, providers are ready - there's no reason why Labor can't release more care packages TODAY. If they won't choose to do it, the Senate will force their hand.
DEWR sought an assurance report on the Targeted Compliance Framework. They got it. It told them clearly that the TCF could NOT be assured. And yet the government continues to administer this unlawful system so it can suspend income support payments for bullshit reasons.
Older Australians are dying waiting for care. Labor and the Liberals are selling the care of our parents and grandparents off for private profits and releasing less care than people need each year. In a wealthy country like ours, there’s no excuse for a crisis of aged care.
Labor eliminated humans from aged care assessment decisions. The result? An algorithm is screwing up assessments - and there's no human override possible. I asked the Department whether they consulted with anyone before making this change. You'll be unsurprised by the answer.

This is how kids go to school in eastern Ukraine: underground. I visited a school in Kharkiv that has turned their basement into classrooms, as missiles & drones hit without warning. All Hands & Hearts will help Kharkiv with supplies & solar so kids can still learn during blackouts.
A day spent in Redding is a day well spent! It was a pleasure touring the vibrant and up-and-coming downtown, art district, recreation district, and cultural district. It's been wonderful to watch so much of this development take place over the last decade. Things are really looking up for Redding!

I feel broken seeing such scenes. European governments are loosing their δΗιτ for Israel, against their own citizens for caring about humanity. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion, as a family member attempted to cross the barrier to embrace a loved one…
