Labor will announce its employment services overhaul tomorrow.

Job agencies like Sarina Russo rake in millions a year in a system that multiple reports - including Labor's own inquiry - have found makes finding work harder.

They should scrap the whole rotten for-profit model.

In a nutshell

[Karen @kcIMT122]

Many of us are just one piece of bad luck away from a precarious financial situation. One serious illness, one accident, one messy relationship breakup, one disastrous business venture, one unwise decision.

Poverty is not a moral failure.

My 81 year old dad received notice from his landlady. He hasn't done anything wrong, pays his rent, has been there for years, & is close with his neighbours.

She wanted to sell the place.

OK. Fair enough. That's property ownership and she has no obligation to consider the age of my father, his health, his connection to his small community.

So my rather amazing nephew offered to buy it. He's worked damn hard to be in a position to be able to, with a help scheme from work, and he convinced Dad it was not charity as it would be his first investment.

Landlady gets a valuation, nephew gets a valuation. They both say the same, and it is within nephew's budget. Brilliant!

"I want £50,000 more than that", says the landlady.

Nephew refuses, a 3rd valuation is arranged. They agree with the first 2.

"I'm not selling anymore", says the landlady, "But the old man still needs to get out".

The place is serviceable for Dad because he does not have most people's demands, he's not greedy. You can't fit more than a single bed in the one bedroom, the bathroom is absolutely teeny-tiny, the kitchen has no hob, no oven, Dad had to bring his own shelving unit for his food. It is not of a standard that most people want these days, but Dad loves it.

It is his home.

She could have the fair amount in her bank right now, and Dad could have a secure place he loves to live out his twilight years, but she'd rather evict an OAP on the off chance she can then squeeze more money out of the property than it is worth.

Greed is the scourge of our species.

Tomorrow, a little bit of kindness has the power to go a long way.

There’s nothing to lose and so much to gain from a Yes vote.

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.

I don’t remember having a referendum to give Rhinehardt or Forrest or any other billionaire a voice in parliament but they all have one & they get everything they want including paying fuck all tax & blowing up sacred sites. I’d much rather an indigenous voice in parliament.

The privatisation of job placement services under the Howard government was a rort and waste of precious taxpayer dollars from the get go. Please support Prof. Quiggin’s campaign to bring back the Commonwealth Employment Service CES.

Hi everyone,

I don't know how many of my followers are real people who care about Ukraine and how many are bots.

I would like to address the real people who choose to stand with Ukraine in these dark times.

Could you please try retweeting as many of my posts about the Kherson region as you feel comfortable with?

The world needs to see what is taking place there! The world needs to see the devastation Russia has inflicted on these poor people, their pets, and the wildlife in the region.

Please help spread the word! Many thanks in advance!

Thank you for your support!
Natalka
💙💛
