I don't know who needs to hear this, but Long Covid isn't just feeling a little tired, it's heart disease and dysautonomia and vasculitis and metabolic disorders and organ damage and misery.
And I don't know who needs to hear this, but Long Covid is caused by Covid Infections.
@ChrisMinnsMP Yes it's sad that the taxpayers would pay for this when it possible it will lose money. When hospitals, housing & essential services are in more demand. Our kids will benefit from essential services, not games.
Morrison applied to have his legal bills paid for by the taxpayer and it was approved before the final report was even released. What an absolute slap in the face and kick in the guts to all of the victims who weren't afforded such a luxury. This is so injust on so many levels.
How the fuck do we live in a country where politicians meant to be working for their constituencies AND under a huge cloud for corruption and criminal behaviour are free to jet off OS on holiday but anyone on #JobSeeker (and innocent of any crime) can’t leave the country or their payments are fucking suspended?

@melaniedoak@GoodyPunch The ABC being selective is very telling. And how it now FOLLOWS commercial channels is also very telling. Degrading standards imo. And it shows.
According to the ABS, 15 kids died of Covid in the first 3 months of 2023 (the latest data). It’s not reported.
But when a child dies of flu - it is reported.
There seems to be almost a media blackout on Covid despite the danger to our kids.

David Littleprod tells Morrison to resign.
Barnaby Joyce tells Morrison to stay.
Why the difference?
Morrison has Joyce’s $600,000 drought policy text message.

@PeterWMurphy1@abcnews I'm 70yo. I grew up with ABC radio, and have been glued to RN since being in my 20s.
I only watch @ABCTV
I am appalled by the drift in ABC content.
I can't recall an Opposition ever being given so much news and program time.
It's not as if Dutton and team is setting any agenda
Howard Buffett: "We are asking Ukraine to fight this war in a way that we would not fight it ourselves."
There are certainly cruel & immoral aspects to the West's timid support of Ukraine, as the country sacrifices itself by fighting evil on behalf of the entire free world.
@Tank9999 Yes, a point I have made previously. How intimidating for Australian citizens knowing they have done nothing wrong but fear the AFP, being the legal arm of the formal LNP government, will come after them..
“Govt & business sector keep pushing 4 return to pre-pandemic ‘normal’ to sustain economy, blind to fact you can’t have healthy economy w/o a healthy workforce.
Or a health system w/o healthy healthcare workers”

@SethAbramson Precisely why the more social media outlets are needed. Musk is controlling the narrative. And that's dangerous. Imo
Threads is a good option till others are formed in the future. World needs more than 1 fast news outlet.
1/ Prior to Musk purchasing Twitter, Twitter had an algorithmic far-right bias. It was biased toward far-right persons, entities, and posts. This wasn’t opinion; this was what the data showed.
The data was *so clear* that Twitter had to admit what it was. https://t.co/IsYKIiPHNE
(🧵) This is the story of how far-right snowflakes afraid of free speech and facts—obsessed, instead, with their Big Important Feelings and using speech to brutalize others—destroyed Twitter.
I hope you’ll follow along and share this to the extent the Musk Algorithm allows it.
37/ That’s right: the #TwitterFiles.
Musk found some disgruntled former journalists who had become right-wing grifters, and he cut them a deal no actual journalist would ever accept: he would *hand-pick* anecdotal internal information that *contradicted* the Twitter hard data...
35/ But Musk worried his Big Lie would not be enough. After all, the world had *just read* in international major-media reporting that Twitter had *confessed* to having a systematic, algorithmic far-right political bias. So how in the *world* would Musk convince people otherwise?
There are no adequate words in English for how awful the Liberal Party is. GladysB, former premier, found to be seriously corrupt last week. Now, the whole former federal govt incl PM Scott Morrison found to be venal, incompetent and possibly criminal #insiders#RobodebtRC
