The NSW Government has made a tourism ad ahead of the coming election, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! #NSWVotes 👉 We're on Patreon patreon.com/thejuicemedia

That’s how it’s done! ⁦Norman Swan⁩ isn’t just addressing misinformation, and putting the perpetrators in their place, he’s being Batman for the worst affected: the clinically vulnerable, whose lives get harder when prominent people make out that COVID is a nothing burger.

So miserly $20 week increase to #Jobseeker has been confirmed, as well as a pathetic $15 per week rent assistance This is devastating news. People in poverty are literally worse off than when ALP elected last year #RaiseHell #RaiseTheRateForAll #MeanerThanMorrison #Budget2023

The NDIS announcements made at #budget2023 fill me with dread. Especially ‘blended payments’.

Not the Coalition living rent free in Labor’s head on budget day. The increase for income support isn’t enough. We are in a cost of living crisis. It’s hitting those worse off harder. It should’ve been higher. We didn’t kick the last mob out for more of the same. #RaiseTheRate

Word has it, from first analysis, that they are cutting the #NDIS by 74bn over the next decade, including with their ‘savings’ measures. #auspol #budget2023 Well. That’s going to be fun, isn’t it? Waiting to hear more and off to look at budget papers. Should be fun.

BREAKING: Chaos at Shell AGM as climate protesters sing ‘Go to Hell, Shell’! #ShutDownShell

I don't have a following, but I work in the #NDIS & can't yell loudly enough: @billshortenmp, who created the scheme, has conspired to ruin it tomorrow. He planned it. There's 50k pending applications for new plans since Jan unactioned, waiting for tomorrow's decision. #Auspol

PWDA has called the passage of the NDIS Amendment Bill “devastating,” citing deep concerns about its impact on NDIS participants and the disability community. Read the release: buff.ly/3YPoG3m ID: Graphic of Blue background and blue circles. Text reads Media Release

Today the NDIS Amendment Bill 2024 was debated in Parliament and secured the support of States and Territories to pass through the Senate. We know today will be a difficult day for our community. Take care. Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 if you require immediate support.

Body failing a bit and I’ll unpack the NDIS bill later. Right now, I have the COVID cooker bill in my hand. I’m going to transcribe, upload and put a link here. In the meantime - what questions would you have if there was an inquiry into COVID handling, past and present?

4/ But for me, I want justice. For those dead and those yet to die. My body is not coping but I am fueled by injustice and the courage of our people. I am filled with the kind of icy, terrifying, cold rage that makes me work well. And I’m going to use it, with all of you.

5/ You absolute legends, all of you. We are going to crip the vote. But first, we are going to use every available mechanism to make sure we are all safe & okay & that we have justice for every single disabled and at risk person in this country. We are taking it back. All of it.

I’m sorry, @billshortenmp, but you trying to protect yourself with the token Shield of Cripple while Albo ran round with Dylan didn’t work out well. Neither did kicking us out the public gallery as we all sat in silence. Or bringing the Bill forward. We see you. And Anthony Albanese.

For the others that don’t know - that is Kurt, the NDIS Chair. Not Dylan.

Getting one of these. And then I am going to change all the things to 'Smash the Patriarchy' 'Dismantle Ableism' and 'Overthrow the Government'. The last one will be in CAPITALS. And will have a Priority symbol. Time to #CripTheVote.

@billshortenmp is with David Speers tomorrow on #Insiders. Here's David talking to me & other disabled people yesterday. It's the first time I have ever talked with him. David spent a long time talking with Sean Fitzgerald, a friend who is a C3 quad in Canberra. Insiders ABC

10/ Here are the lists. Consultation on draft lists of NDIS supports | engage.dss.gov.au engage.dss.gov.au/consultation-o… Ask him, last of all, if he will keep a list of exits to the NDIS. They call it a 'mortality exit' when we die. We want both types of exits, booted off and ded.

11/ And, David? I wish you had chosen the disabled Senator who spoke in front of you yesterday to appear as well as Shorten. Because this is about us. You might have gotten a sense of how serious this is, because we are long term policy folk who know a lot about this. Good luck.
