“If you don’t know, vote no” what an absolutely terrible message. Inform yourselves people - read some things, talk to people. There’s more than enough information out there about what the Voice could look like and what it will do. Don’t waste this vote through sheer ignorance.
Instead of a CEO sleep out, we should just put neoliberal economists, the RBA board and big business leaders on the average Australian wage for six months (no access to savings) and get them to show us how it all works - budgeting, finding housing etc, in this economy
If you earn $60,000 and have an average-sized HECS debt, this year you will pay back $1,500 of your HECS… but your debt will increase by $1,700.
That’s not fair, and it’s why I’ve joined other independents in urging the Federal Government to consider other options.
THIS. If things aren’t done for our generation now, we’re going to be struggling even more down the line with debts created by the system. Being a 20-something-year old right now is scary time.
HECS rant 1/2:
I know I’m not the only one in this boat but I’m struggling to understand the logic of the HECS indexation being applied before tax time. I’m lucky to be at the very end of my HECS, and my compulsory repayments this year have now covered my debt (woo hoo).
Music to my ears - it took 10 yrs to receive a diagnosis, and last week I had my laparoscopic surgery. I’ve spent so much time, money and emotional energy trying to figure out what was wrong. This is a good step in the right direction 👏 https://t.co/42RArhvdEd
I feel sad - for Brittany, for my friends who have never reported out of fear of this same scenario, for all the people who have not been believed or heard or empowered to speak their truth. Brittany is admirable for her immense bravery and resilience. #IBelieveBrittany
The prosecutor’s comments on the decision to call off a retrial in the #BruceLehrmann rape trial are worth hearing for yourself. @10NewsFirst #BrittanyHiggins
Once when touring Geraldton’s prison as a Journo, I asked the guard about the aircon sitch. He replied “what do you think this is? A hotel?”
I was appalled. Aircon isn’t a luxury in Australia, particularly regional Australia. It’s a basic human right.

@michlstan No this is smart. I almost missed my flight the other day cause I got there 40 mins before (what I normally do) and the lines for security were out the terminal! Madness. Have the best time!
