Everyone in Oz please take note of @drkerrynphelps sensible suggestions in the face of significantly increasing COVID, flu, RSV & whooping cough that is rampant at the moment. Do it for yourself, your loved ones & your colleagues not to mention vulnerable children and adults.
Here’s a thought! Introduce public health measures! Isolate when sick!? Work from home where possible, mask if you have to go out. Masks in healthcare and public transport? Clean air initiatives in schools and public buildings!? Just. Do. Something.

No surprise @FinancialReview is at it again. They detest #NDIS because it's part of the modern world where we meet & pay for need. I agree with @billshortenmp "The alternative to having the scheme is to go back to what existed beforehand, and that was a disaster." #auspol.

We know gutting the public service leads to things like robodebt, ballooning wait times + $20.8bn on consultants under former PM Morrison alone. Least cost & best outcome is achieved through proper investment in our APS. canberratimes.com.au/story/8…

PTransport Systems 'fail' people with disability Richard Witbreuk, chair of the National Inclusive Transport Advocacy Network, said Australia's "half baked" transport systems "fail" people with disability, and the laws created to protect them were not enforced enough.#politas
