@ryansolsten In Australia successive conservative governments have tried to wind back Medicare, but it is a uniting issue, no one wants that access stripped back. We do have private health insurance but it does not work in the same way as the US. Best wishes to your Dad. Keep Fighting.
@ryansolsten Ryan thanks for sharing. You are 100% Right. I am Australian, I migrated from the UK with my family as a child. I came to Australia from a country that had universal healthcare, the National Health System to a country that was just introducing universal healthcare, Medicare. 1/2
@jacbell65@KosSamaras My working class parents worked in local government and their jobs were Kennetised causing terrible anxiety and fear for both of them.
@SeanNic@adele_ferguson I do not know what we would do without @adele_ferguson she is absolutely tenacious in pursuing the corporate players ripping of consumers. Thank You Adele. You are as always amazing in your investigations.
@KosSamaras Yup. Liberalism as embraced by the ALP is over, it has not delivered anything in the way of fairness to working people. They are left behind as usual. They are turning elsewhere in the hope of better.
@ShazHaitch@HashTayeh A very good point. Zionism is not a religion, it is an extreme Right political ideology. The World really has gone mad when someone is prosecuted for protesting this. Oh BTW my husband is Jewish and totally agrees so off with you before the screams of "anti-semite."
@Terri_1987a@JacintaAllanMP Please not another Royal Commission! All of the RC's come about as a result of legislative and policy failures. They are lawyers picnics, they achieve nothing and nothing changes. Wat we need is effective policy and legislation that cannot be 'got around' by business & unions.
