The DSP partner income test is proof that marriage equality doesn’t exist for disabled people & puts those who are already at a higher risk of intimate family violence at an even higher risk of financial abuse.
Sorry I have been MIA, I have been drowning and couldn’t (and still can’t) cope with the real world and terrible things happening in it. I think my feet will be back on the ground in the next few months and then I’ll fill you in. Nothing fun or interesting & everything is okay ❤️
Really I’m only back to share this and the joy it brings me 🥰🏳️🌈

Today Labor has introduced legislation for its ‘Help to Buy’ housing scheme. While I’m not down in Parliament myself today, I wanted to jump on and give you a bit of an explainer of what this scheme is, and why the Greens have concerns about it.

The sound of connecting to dial-up internet just emanated from a distant corner of the coworking space.
All the millennials popped their heads up from their computers like a flock of prairie dogs being activated by a long-forgotten ancestral call.

Can we please talk about how all men’s health issues have to share a single month of awareness and fundraiser, including their mental health?

The one thing I notice about these conferences about poverty are the lack of politicians that attend. These conferences are open for all there’s really no excuse why they couldn’t attend and actually hear what they are putting people through

As both an ADHDer and a comms expert I say with my whole soul:
I'm SO fucking sick of shit like this.
1. It is unethical af to just slap an ADHD label on something to target ADHDers as a segment for something not SPECIFICALLY made for us
2. This graphic is not ADHD friendly 🧵

Naturally Australia, while helping Israel commit war crimes, is doing everything it can to hide its own
David McBride has pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to journalists that helped expose allegations of war crimes by Australian soldiers. Outside court, a defiant McBride said he saw this as "the beginning of a better Australia".

Telstra’s discount for pensioners is so out of touch and the entire company is designed to take advantage of those who don’t know they have options. They expect you to pay $31/month for 2GB
Boost uses their network and gives you 50GB/month for $35 without a discount 🤷♀️
Replying to @marie_sarjeant
Hi Marie, if you're a concession card holder we offer discounted home phone, internet, and mobile plans - details can be found at telstra.com.au/plans-devices…. Greg
Got bulk billed at the GP for the first time in over a year. I guess that tripled incentive worked?
The best part isn’t the saved money, it’s that now I don’t have to wait for the rebate to come through before I get my antibiotics!

Apparently school children are planning a walkout protest.
Apparently schools and stuff have issues with this.
To these children I say this:
Take your blazers/branded school jumpers off.
It'll save you an extra detention/suspension should you happen to be filmed. Trust me 😂

But instead of taking on the big corporations, Labor & the LNP would literally rather debate whether I should be allowed to table Bills, than actually fight for Qlders.
Politicians consistently show nothing but contempt for everyday people. Today is no different.

“Just move away from the cities if you want affordable rent”
Firstly, regional areas are becoming so unaffordable that regional Queensland is the least affordable place in Australia out of all capital cities and regions.
Secondly, asking people to move away from their families, jobs, important infrastructure and medical care in order to afford rent is not a solution to the housing crisis.
I encourage you to read the Rental Affordability Index report by @NationalShelter and @SGSEcoandPlan

Today, I expressed to a doctor that she doesn't listen to me because I'm a black woman. She looked at me shocked, and asked me why would I say that.
I replied, explaining that I approached her with tiredness in my eyes, indicating that something was wrong with me.
Posts a correction but doesn’t delete the offending tweet? May as well have not corrected themselves at all 🙄
