I haven’t had a current passport for 35 years.
Making a drivers licence a default National ID has been a fail for us who don’t drive, and the cost of passport being $412 a hefty burden when you aren’t currently flush with cash.
The Trump plan for Gaza includes genocide.
Apparently BlueSky won’t be putting in place what is needed for age verification so any Australians on here will not be able to sign in when the new laws come in? @support.bsky.team is that true

I'd love to know who pressured Bendigo Writers Fest organisers at the last minute to make writers sign that agreement. Did they think that writers talking about Gaza was a greater threat to their beloved festival than this? 👇

And it’s taken from what Universities Australia have agreed to I understand so that amazes me too. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne....
Hate to say it but I hope people stay away in protest. It’s not encouraging respectful debate when you try to stifle issues like the current genocide in Gaza.
A response from Bendigo Writers Festival:
UTS execs recently took a trip to the US recently spent over $140,000 on a jaunt to the US, with one lunch event costing almost $14,000 & they have the gall to tell staff facing job losses to brush their teeth as "self-care" because "dental work later in life can be painful and expensive!"
We’ve got one now. All electric.
@chrisbowenmp.bsky.social well I was trying to tag you on Twitter. You aren’t there anymore. Lol.

Very good reporting—correctly outlines these aren't all problems easily attributed to IT issues with the TCF. Fundamentally, it's these departments' MANY failures to apply social security law correctly as formal policy which causes harm—the TCF exposes recipients to this on an industrial scale.

Mean Streak has been shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in the non-fiction category. Stoked, of course, but particularly because I think this episode deserves to linger in the consciousness for as long as possible.

My definition of mild. Controlled by simple analgesia and did not need to see doctor. Symptoms resolved and did not lead to chronic and debilitating health issues. COVID IS NOT MILD FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Pay attention to Senators in the Republican Party attempting to move into Governor seats. Tommy Tuberville, Marsha Blackburn. Alabama and Tennessee. Nancy Mace in S.C. There's a political restructuring in the south. Senators shifting to positions of Governors for control of state military forces.

It is important that everyone understands that COVID-19, flu and many other communicable diseases that spread through the air are epidemic, and not mild, for the most part. When people understand that, work can begin on flattening the epidemic curves, and prevention or at least mitigation of 👇🏽.

Israel has threatened to blacklist any nation that recognises the state of Palestine. So, I'm guessing Israel no longer supports a two-state solution? What will be Australia's response to this blatant bullying? Let me guess: strong words. #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine
