"There's something about our society where we value men's work more than we value women's work which is ridiculous because the caring & rearing economies are the most important industries that keep our society functioning." @LisaAnnese#GenderPayGap@RadioNational#LifeMatters
@QLDRL2023 @chilitown_pope @DaveMilbo wow, you have no idea. many people didn't "choose" to be working, like unpaid carers of family members with disability, illnesses, etc. and plenty of other essential roles, paid and unpaid. if they didn't work all year round, most of us would not be alive. educate yourself
ABC will be doing an NDIS story on how the NDIA is treating participants at the AAT, specifically how their treatment breaches the Commonwealth's Model Litigant Obligations.
If you're one of those people, let me know and I will hook you up to tell your story.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia has rejected wedge politics and his party will push for an "inclusive society" during first Labor room meeting since the election.

If the debate tonight is important for the nation why is it on a pay TV platform which the vast majority of Australians don’t pay to access? @BreakfastNews#auspol#ausvotes
Labor is announcing a full review of NDIS if they win. Reason alone to vote Labor. Shorten stated they want to ensure autistic kids are properly funded and the constant worry of funding removal ends #ausvotes#auspol#NDIS#integrity
Business claims that insecure work isn't a problem don't pass the pub test: Not at the Edgeworth Tavern, or any other establishment! Our @JimboStanford and @markbdean84 take apart the numbers on insecure jobs, of ALL kinds, for @TheNewDailyAu: https://t.co/z6W8zEzDwK. ...2
“Cowboys” in the #NDIS is the right term.
The plumber who comes to fix a tap has to do more training, licensing & meet more industry standards than a “sole trader” on a “platform” who spends a whole day supporting someone with a disability.

How mindfulness privatised a social problem. People’s poor mental health would be helped more by easing social inequalities than by individualised therapies. Commercialised “mindfulness has become the perfect coping mechanism for neoliberal capitalism": https://t.co/A7cVROtOjS
PM on ICAC. "I have honoured my proposal. The Labor Party don't support it. That is where the issue rests."
Fact check: The proposal was never introduced. Labor doesn't support if because it's been universally panned. Doesn't explain why the legislation was never introduced.
After 3 yrs in the NDIS, only 15% of participants aged 15-24 agreed that being in the #NDIS had helped them find a suitable job.
For those aged 25 & over, after 3 years in the Scheme, only 18% agreed that being in the NDIS had helped them find a suitable job.

The government is paying Alan Tudge’s former staffer $500,000. But the PM told News Breakfast that’s a private matter that can’t be confirmed. It’s public money. Our money. And it can’t be confirmed? Is that right?
