Finally the PTSD nightmares are receding, making way for some of the most cherished memories of my life with the late #VedaMeneghetti, cut short by a rare & complex #YoungOnsetDementia. Bless her for donating her brain & spinal chord to research. Soon we may know what & why.
Bisan Owda from Gaza posted the following:
“These are our thoughts, messages, cries, memories and hopes.. these are what we want to tell you about the last 6 weeks of our lives..”
Israel is a rogue state committing unforgivable war crimes. It is also damaging its own people. A whole generation of damaged Israelis committing state condoned war crimes and brainwashed to believe that murdering innocent people is normal. Intergenerational trauma & violence
Government has the right to set policy. Experts have the right to tell them they are wrong. Citizens have the right to object.
No government gets every decision right. Smart governments change their policy when they realise that they have it wrong

Thousands of older people are left homeless because Labor are rationing aged care out only to those who can most afford it.
In for-profit aged care, the worse your health is, the less likely you are to be cared for. That's shameful in this wealthy country.https://t.co/BpSZbcXVOQ
The effects are widely felt. When 20% of your beds are occupied by people in the wrong place for their needs, it creates massive bed block that then ripples through the entire hospital system and community. The new Support at Home will not fix the problem, it will make it worse
My Illawarra region is 1,000 aged care beds short. Aged care patients now occupy 20% of all public hospital beds. Frail vulnerable people becoming more agitated & deconditioned while they wait an average of 66 days in hospital. 👇@Mark_Butler_MP@RyanPark_Keira@senatorpennyqld
The govt new Aged Care Act fails to take the leap from a provider-focused system to one that genuinely places the rights of older people front and centre.
The act does not provide universal access to aged care based on assessed need.

Congratulations @SenatorWong for imposing tough sanctions on Russia. But you are rapidly losing credibility by your failure to impose equally tough sanctions on Israel. Your continued support of Israel is unethical & not in Australia’s interests @AmyRemeikis
#ICYMI: Artists, activists, and performers came together at the 'Together for Palestine' concert at London’s Wembley Arena to show their support for Palestinians and raise funds for humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
One of these two Australian doctors in Gaza says in this clip that she delivered a baby by C-section from a beheaded woman.

Limited aid is entering Gaza, with PM Netanyahu saying distribution zones will open soon, but UN agencies warn it's far too little as Palestinians face starvation under Israel’s blockade.
