Too often, people living in poverty are blamed & stigmatised.
Poverty is not a personal failure but a systemic one — a denial of dignity & human rights.
Let’s reject stigma & discrimination, stand with people in poverty & act in solidarity to #EndPoverty for good.

Labor is going to Washington having committed another $9 billion for a new US nuclear submarine base off Perth and likely some special access to our critical minerals. Selling the family silver for some second hand nuclear submarines.

“𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤”
~ Justice Paul Smith AM
A Supreme Court of Queensland decision handed down on Friday, 3 October 2025 has made history, in the worst of ways.
His Honour 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐌 has permanently stopped—or stayed—the prosecution of an Australian taxpayer and citizen known by the pseudonym of Julie ‘Clark’.
At the conclusion of the INTRODUCTION to his Honour’s lengthy judgement, Justice Smith stated:
“𝘐𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘛𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩.”

I call on Australia’s Prime Minister @AlboMP and 🇦🇺’s Attorney General @MRowlandMP to:
• Conduct an urgent review of EVERY CASE that ATO officer and public servant Mr Anthony Rains has referred for prosecution to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP).
• I also ask the terrifying and horrific question: “𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢?”

BBC paid £400,000 to create a documentary called “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone.”
They hired a 13 yo narrator who was the son of the Hamas Ministry of Agriculture.
Today, the UK’s media regulator Ofcom has determined that BBC “materially misled” viewers and “seriously breached” broadcasting rules.
As a consequence, the BBC will be required to air an apology and a statement of Ofcom’s findings on live broadcast.

Hamas's onslaught on Gaza Palestinians who critique the militia is a surprise for the Palestinian Authority and the eight Arab-Muslim states backing Trump's ceasefire. They expected Hamas to spring into action to win over Gazans after the ceasefire and help the needy. Instead, the militia is more concerned about subjugation of Gaza's Palestinians and showing them who's in charge in case they have any ideas about Hamas's weakness after the war.

How much is genetic?
Common SNPs explain = 9.5 % of overall ME/CFS risk (heritability on the liability scale).
For comparison:
- asthma = 10 %
- arthritis = 12 %
- type 2 diabetes = 13%
So ME/CFS is typical for complex diseases when you look only at common variants.

🔬Simplified breakdown of the Decode ME results:
DecodeME identifies 8 gene regions linking immune response, mitochondrial energy control, and brain-cell signalling to ME/CFS
Genomic evidence the disease is biological.
Let’s breakdown everything in depth 🧵

“Hamas needs to hand over power — and we welcome any entity, be it American or non-American, that can provide us with something to live on.”
Gazan civilian describes Hamas tyranny and theft of aid to fuel its war machine.

This #AUKUS related document was declared NOT confidential to the Senate, but became confidential once I requested it under #FOI🤷♂️. It has NO security markings, but is national security sensitive when requested under FOI 🤷♂️.
Has @ANSTO been corrupted by AUKUS? I fear so. #auspol

ME is different because it wasn't for a lack of science that we gaslit people, it was due to our own ignorance and our bias against the chronically ill. And the injustices against pwME are still ongoing. To me it is unethical to advocate for better LC care without mentioning ME.
