Just checked my superannuation balance very disappointing to see the current global turmoil has made it drop by $4000 in the last 2-3 weeks. I only have a small balance and that’s a fair amount to lose.

people need to understand that using tax money to fund programmes that support the community is LITERALLY THE ENTIRE POINT OF HAVING A GOVERNMENT

Good morning Centrelink! @SenKatyG

We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!

i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip.

i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero.

when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio.

instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest.
it was a literal "ride menu."
it said:
1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk).
2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening).
3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city).
4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast).

i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you."

he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence.

it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset.

when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews."

He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear.

my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired.

she told me it feels like running a marathon.

i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while."

i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase.

we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate.

but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in.

pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

How in the fuck do we live on a planet where the exact same people who’ll force women to give birth to babies they can’t properly care for will also de-fund all the programs which would help care for and support all those disadvantaged children?

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.

A disabled person doesn't need a higher standard of living than everyone else. They need a higher income just to achieve the same standard of living. That's one of the most overlooked economic realities in Britain today.

Introducing RoboNDIS. We built a tool that applies the same automated assessment logic from the NDIS Sustainability Bill 2026 - the one that lets a computer cut your support without explanation, without appeal, without a human in the room - to federal politicians.

Search your favourite MP. See their attendance record. Get their "adjusted salary" after deductions. Receive their automated debt notice.

The point is not that politicians should be treated this way.

The point is that no one should.

#RaiseTheRate Leaving people who we knew were already in poverty years ago, in far worse poverty now isn’t helping these with the cost of living crisis. Poverty encourages exploitation and abuse and untimely, preventable deaths. #auspol

If you're wondering why the government made a song and dance about employment services reform last week

It's to distract from this 👇

"No one will be left behind" said @AlboMP - as it turns out no one knew he would ignore the vulnerable & was actually referring to the wealthy.
At a minimum Albanese needs to sacked!

At least 40% of #UniversalCredit claimants are in employment. They claim because their employers do not pay them enough. The overwhelming majority are working class women in low paid jobs, many work in care. The solution is a proper living wage not attacking the working poor.

[RevolutionPi 🌱💚 @RevolutionPi]

How much does it cost to exploit the dole bludger lie & demonise & torment ppl receiving income support?

The ideologically perverse mutual obligations system costs us $1.2 to $1.3 billion annually. Achieves nothing.

Billions wasted for political grifting. Fkin dismal #auspol

[NoisywomanMP @noisywomanMP]

The truth of mutual obligation. The cruelty is the point. https://t.co/XkWpnVpczW

Jobseeker earns $150 a fortnight. They’re $150 that fortnight better off.

Jobseeker earns $500 a fortnight, they’re $150.60 that fortnight better off.

They earned $350 more dollars that fortnight than the last one, and are ONLY 60 cents better off. 😳 #auspol

Just now in Senate estimates, the Department is asked about job providers harassing participants for their payslips

The Department: "There haven't been any of those cases in recent times"

A lie. I've been helping multiple people who say they're being bullied for their payslips

Shameful in a *wealthy country that hatches billionaires at an alarming rate

[Jenni @hashjenni]

You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

[NoisywomanMP @noisywomanMP]

Ugly heart, pimps for a billionaire.
