ICYMI... Last night the outgoing Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown said what the Greens have been warning about for years: that rationing aged care would create a two-tier system that favoured wealthier people. This is precisely what's happening now.

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.
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.
Spoke to Tom Elliott on 3AW about why mutual obligations are bad and counterproductive. Not sure I convinced him but appreciate him having me on!
Penny Wong was asked if the Australian Government believes that Trump's war on Iran - which Labor supports - was illegal. She couldn't answer. This is Australia under the ALP: providing political cover for a rogue state while it wreaks chaos and death across the world.
During the treasurer's budget speech tonight, Australiaโs billionaires got $560,000 richer. While they're accumulating wealth for doing literally nothing, youโre working harder and harder and falling further behind. Nothing in this budget changes that. It's time to tax the 1%.
How long do we have to wait to see justice for Robodebt? Years on from the Robodebt Royal Commission, and still not one person responsible has been held to account.
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.
John Howard waged a war against public institutions. He privatised aged care, supercharged public spending on private schools and created the hellscape that is job services and mutual obligations. Labor opposed all of these things at the time. Now it's their policy platform ๐คท
Israelโs genocidal intent has been clear for years. Stern words are not enough. Recognition of Palestine is not enough. Israel must feel the full weight of global pressure or the killing will continue.
We've got 30 years of evidence that privatised employment services and mutual obligations make finding work harder. It's insulting to people trapped in this harmful, failed system for Labor to simply fiddle at the edges and label it "reform".
