I worked nights at Woolies during uni.

There were always stacks of perfectly good rotisserie chickens and fresh bakery items left at closing.

At first, night staff could take them home free or heavily discounted. Then head office banned it - no markdowns, no staff takeaways.

Every night I’d throw 20+ good chickens and piles of bread in the bin.

One coworker took a couple home for her kids. She got caught and was fired.

They wouldn’t even donate to charities or food banks.

🚨𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Some members of FIFA's Executive Committee are calling for the resignation of President Gianni Infantino and are preparing a lawsuit against him.

This comes after revelations that FIFA allegedly bent the rules to favor a player and a country.

The US Administration is committing a war crime by building its “embassy” to Israel on stolen Palestinian land (private property) in Jerusalem. It is also in violation on international law by recognising the occupied city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Back home in Adelaide, we asked Socceroo Awer Mabil, one of the squad’s many refugee success stories, about suggestions Australia is a monocultural society, rather than a multicultural one.

He asked if could swear, before declaring “It’s all bullshit.”

“Australia is the best country in the world and the Socceroos are the best representation of that.
If anyone’s trying to divide that, they’re probably not Australians themselves, in a sense.

You don’t pick where you’re born, you don’t pick the colour of your skin. You choose to be a good human being. Some people, they choose against being good. That’s their own problem. Then they’re missing out on what others can bring. That’s what multiculturalism does. It brings other flavours to the table, instead of just one thing.

It’s many journeys, with one jersey.”

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Tears of anger. No, *rage*.

@Mark_Butler_MP you told Australians on @InsidersABC
that nobody would die because of these changes.

I want you to read these posts. Half an hour ago, a suicide farewell by a young woman, a wheelchair user, in an NDIS group.

You too, @AlboMP. @JEChalmers . ALL of you men.

Not a modelling report, not a bloody budget paper.

This is what we do every day. Spend our lives watching other disabled person’s lives unravelling in public. Waiting for their final messages.

We have done the usual mop up for you butchers. That’s what we community members do. Only this one locked down her profile and is probably dead in Logan, Qld. Do you care?

You can bet @PaulineHansonOz doesn’t.

If you’re in the group, over weeks and months, you can watch it happen. Because you are killing us every day. Another one today, in an Illawarra hospital, a ‘social’ admission.

Now this young woman.

First, her wheelchair funding was removed because the NDIS decided Functional Neurological Disorder wasn’t the “right” kind of disability for funding. She lost the wheelchair that allowed her to leave home.

Then came the isolation.

A broken second-hand wheelchair that caused pain. Fewer supports. Weeks alone. No friends. No community. No way to leave the house without someone else pushing them.

Their world became smaller and smaller.

They wrote about being trapped, losing hope, about feeling abandoned by both the health system and the NDIS.

Then they wrote:

“I don’t want to be here anymore.”

“This will be my last post ever.”

“It’s now time to say goodbye.”

I’ve just gotten off the phone from another young woman who attempted suicide in January after the cuts that took away her ability to live safely. Why only now? Because she’s been in a coma for four months.

Now there’s yet another disabled Australian whose life has been reduced to surviving alone inside four walls - this week.

And today, I don’t know whether they’re alive.

That sentence should stop every minister in their tracks.

You said nobody would die.

Can you honestly say that after reading this?

You have been warned and warned and warned. Do we need to haul corpses to the Labor conference to make you say no to your shitty cuts, even if you don’t actually care?

Because if you don’t care about us, you sure as shit should care about losing the election.

We have had enough. Blood is on your hands.

🇳🇴 Norway manager Stale Solbakken with a strong response to Folarin Balogun's red card being suspended:

🗣️ Solbakken: "It is a big mistake by FIFA. It is not a great conclusion. He got a red card and the VAR concluded that it was a red card. That means you are suspended for one game.

I think what is really bad about that situation is, if the USA beat Belgium, they will always have that extra thing about it.

The Belgians will be furious. What about the next red card? What happens there? Will some committee take it away? It’s a bad, bad, bad, bad decision that will hurt the World Cup and the United States."
