The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered.

It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

Apparently, my NDIA contact says, they gave up on me after I did not answer my long dead email address - there is nothing in the NDIA MyGov messages account - nor did I manage to get to the phone within the six rings that were granted me before the phone rang out.

They never rang back. And now, it seems, I have a $1 plan.

That means nobody to help you shower.
No replacement for my bald power wheelchair tyre.
Nobody to help change your tampon, nor help you with your luggage off a baggage carousel (we are driving to Sydney at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning, then flying to WA).

There was no explanation. No consultation. No follow up phone call, just my one-dollar plan.

Here's the thing.

While former ministers glide into the boardrooms of the scheme, participants are being told they can lose their plans if they don't answer the phone. The Agency's proposed reforms contemplate suspending supports and ultimately revoking participant status where the NDIA decides a person is "uncontactable."

Some advocate recently did what advocates do. They FOI'd the NDIA's own National Contact Centre - the phone line participants are expected to answer and call - and asked how well it answers us.

The numbers, released under FOI 25.26-3532, are astonishing - in a very double plus ungood way. In the first half of 2024 alone, the Agency's own contact centre logged 50,983 abandoned calls, with average speed of answer blowing out to a massive 5 minutes 28 seconds and peaking at over 9 minutes in February and March. And those figures are the FLATTERING numbers: they don't include time trapped in the automated menu, exclude callback waits, and don't even count calls abandoned inside the first 60 seconds.

Think about that for a moment. The Agency wants the power to cut off your funding because you didn't pick up. But when you call them, you can wait nine minutes and then be counted as one of fifty thousand people who gave up.

But hey, I am not going to be gloomy about my impending death. I have decided to sign up with a brand-new provider. He is running the gloriously named 'Brighter Road Ltd' with his pastor wife. His name?

Former Minister Stuart Robert.

A dollar in a cripple's plan. Nine minutes on hold. And a former minister in the NDIA seat selling "access to the highest levels of the NDIS." That is not a system with a few bad outcomes. And it's certainly not the 'anxiety' of a few Nervous Nellies who are worried about our funding. That is a system working exactly as designed for everyone except the participant.

The Trump regime has just bombed a children's hospital in the Iranian city of Ahvaz. It is being evacuated.

Police and family need help to find a 39-year-old Dandenong woman last seen approaching the beach at Parkdale on Wednesday.
Yun - also known as Michelle - filled her car at a Glen Waverley service station last Tuesday morning.
She walked through a foreshore car park on the corner of Rennison Street and Beach Road in Parkdale at 5:45pm that day.
Police found her vehicle still in the car park with her keys, phone and handbag inside on Friday night.
Police say her disappearance is not suspicious but her father said she would not just go missing.
"For the past few nights we have been having trouble to sleep, especially last night after learning that the police had found the car and other belongings," her dad Jingyi said.
Police want anyone who sees Yun to call Triple Zero (000) or Dandenong Police Station on [phone].

Just a reminder: presenting as a different gender than you were assigned at birth publicly was only fully legalised Australia-wide in 2000

We could very easily go back there if we don't fight now

Men will believe a woman is genuinely stupid before they’d consider the possibility that she’s joking

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

One of the less talked about parts of Pauline Hanson is that she’s totally, completely, utterly, undeniably…stupid.

Murdering Gully, Massacre Inlet, Slaughterhouse Creek, Murderer's Flat & Mt Dispersion are just a handful of Australian geographical names honouring the Aboriginal genocides that led to this state's existence

Israel destroyed every hospital in Gaza and Lebanon, killed doctors, nurses, paramedics, patients, even babies and the Victorian Premier is totally fine with it and decided to reward Israel anyway.

Disgusting

Pauline Hanson’s first husband was a Polish refugee which means her first two children are part of the 51% of Australians she complains have one parent not born in Australia. She is RIDDLED with contradictions. #auspol

Did you guys know that the judges that issued international arrest warrants for Netanyahu were sanctioned by the United States and as a result are completely unable to access their bank accounts or do any banking?

But don’t you dare bring it up you raging antisemite.

me da vergüenza vivir en un mundo en el que esta gente puede admitir abiertamente que esta causando un holocausto y que no les pase nada
