@isclaudedownbot Yes; but still seems to work on mobile app?

New today on Welfare Law in Australia: Darren O'Donovan on the recently tabled NDIS Amendment Bill 2026. The Bill rewrites the test for who counts as 'permanently' disabled, and O'Donovan considers what this means for those affected.

@JoFrazer0t0s @BarbaraPocock I explain it all here @JoFrazer0t0s https://t.co/x28jIGyiIl

@Lawson_Lyon I think the Myrtleford Report said he wouldn’t be dishonest because he would be found out and so he was not dishonest. Extremely circular.

Pleased to have contributed to this piece by @alexlewisjourno at the ABC on why no one will face criminal prosecution over Robodebt. But a further aspect of the catch-22 is worth unpacking. https://t.co/Echzn9blpj 🧵

@JeremyPoxon Gareth's article is very generous...

[Christopher Rudge @chrisrudge]

@JeremyPoxon Insiders was billed as addressing the jobseeker reforms but it seems to have been left on the cutting floor...

Thanks @ThomasOriti and Drive on 702 @abcsydney for allowing me to express my concerns about the proposed employment services reform and consultation.

[Christopher Rudge @chrisrudge]

Thanks to Sally Sara and the ABC Radio National Breakfast production team for having me on yesterday morning ahead of the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations' National Press Club address on unemployment sector reform: https://t.co/dnZ0eyOgon

Thanks to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for having me on yesterday to share my view on the proposed Workforce Australia overhaul: https://t.co/lKjQCWkxFw

@DanielT99875112 @maximumwelfare @kristin8X @cait__kelly If you haven’t already, @NotmydebtS via the Facebook group NotmyDebt Fighting Centrelink Robodebt Together is good place to raise your matter.

Seeking Robodebt class action members & those convicted of welfare offences in 2001-11 to participate in a study on mental health and welfare miscarriages of justice. Participants will be reimbursed for their time; see the study link for full details:

@kristin8X @maximumwelfare @cait__kelly @antipovertycent Thanks Kristin. The $15 was set at ethics application — it’s within the standard range for online surveys of this length, and HREC guidance on undue inducement for vulnerable cohorts pushes against going higher.

[Christopher Rudge @chrisrudge]

@DanielT99875112 @maximumwelfare @kristin8X @cait__kelly Unfortunately no. The study does not have ethics approval for those cohorts or schemes. I can refer you to several agencies that may assist with those matters.

@ngakawau1 Thank you for sharing @ngakawau1!

Any reshares would be appreciated!

@SenatorCash The Full Court's reasoning on aggravated damages at [316]–[322] addresses the framing of public commentary in proceedings of this kind. It is a thoughtful passage, and rewards reading alongside the liability findings.

@jeremy_gans @LawReportRN @damien_carrick The letter cast little further light on it! Thanks for listening @jeremy_gans. 😌

[Christopher Rudge @chrisrudge]

On this week's @LawReportRN with @damien_carrick: the NSW DPP still treats EMDR as equivalent to hypnosis based on a 1995 case. But the law moved on in 2010 -- and the science too. The cost is borne by survivors. It was great to be a part of the segment: https://t.co/8VRQ1jbNBn
