I am so disappointed in Australia for not helping one of its own more. This line: โ€˜we are extending to #Assange the same consular services to any citizenโ€ - In that case, whereโ€™s the proof theyโ€™d protect any of us at all? #auspol #FreeAssange & #RaiseTheRate - #peoplematter ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

I want dental health added to Medicare. Why? Because oral health is so important for overall health. Itโ€™s beyond a joke that people in poverty cannot have their teeth looked after - this is third world if you ask me. Is Australia a first world country? Really? #Dental #Medicare

Do you want to know the worst thing about the #cashlesswelfarecard / #cashlessdebitcard ? It funnels money to approved vendors only. In this way, it shuts down smaller business and initiatives, adding hoops for new business to jump through, at greater cost. Just #RaiseTheRate !

The rate of #JobSeeker before the $150 drop this week was BELOW ALL POVERTY LINES we know of. Adding $50 a fortnight back is insult to injury. Asking anyone to live for all expenses on $44/day is draconianism. The LNP support entrenching poverty, starvation and suicide. #auspol

@CallumDRFoote @MichaelWestBiz @friendlyjordies This is horrifying. @friendlyjordies is a fearless journalist. The corruption that seems to be very closely tied to such loose interpretations of the law as these is horrific. Australia should be very concerned. Free speech and calling out politicians isnโ€™t criminal. #auspol ๐Ÿง

@PeterCronau Brilliant article. Well done to Dr John Jiggens for this brilliant article and well done to the Australian Citizens Party for referring Morrison to the #NACC . Itโ€™s repulsive what this Machiavellian crocodile smiling secrecy sorcerer has done in our name. #AUKUS #auspol #USUKA ๐Ÿ˜

All the people carrying on about interest rates going up, were eerily silent when they were at record lows. Years of benefit and now they complain. People living on $48 a day need a break, itโ€™s unreasonable, itโ€™s not enough. Itโ€™s overdue. #RaiseTheRate #JobSeeker

Why the hell would GPs be abandoning Bulk Billing patients? Somehow Medicare rebates have not kept up with the cost of Doctors! Nine years of the LNP and now this! @AlboMP @AustralianLabor #SaveOurMedicare We need #GPs #auspol

@friendlyjordies Awesome video! Thank you so much for revealing what the AUWU is like - their treatment of members and failure to do anything administratively that even remotely resembles doing this properly within the legal parameters of their identity. This Assoc. Inc. is an #AUWUfail #UPSCC

I called Centrelink yesterday to claim the disaster payment for lost work due to the 8 day lockdown in Qld. Apparently my account is locked. My AAT appeal is on 27.08 Friday week. I am busy preparing my brief of evidence for this. This is nasty. @Centrelink #auspol

My rent went up four weeks ago due to retaliatory action of the real estate for calling them out conducting inspections without my knowledge while I was sleeping and working nights and then breaching me for mould that was structural. I have gone to QCAT and now await appeal.

Seriously NSW shouldnโ€™t open up until it has zero cases. That zero gives Queensland a lot of confidence and for me, a Qlder, the thought of NSW opening up without this is terrifying. This will kill people unnecessarily. #auspol #Covid19

Come on @AlboMP and @AustralianLabor stand up, speak truth, own it, defend it. Represent. Society IS ready to accept a good party in their corner. Be ready. Get to it. OR - combine with the #Greens if you can't on your own. But: DO SOMETHING, memorable and worthy of our #votes .

A lot of tweets about MyGov today. People should opt out. Tell Centrelink they arenโ€™t using it. Itโ€™s prone to scams, hacking and fraud and tends to be abusive without delivering what is needed. Seems the whole system is broken. Automation shouldnโ€™t apply to โ€œHuman Servicesโ€. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Feeling better. Like the horror of trauma has passed. Accepting better. Feeling fresher and clearer and getting things done. Trauma messed with me. Through homelessness, loss of family, theft of belongings and Centrelink real nastiness. I hope and work for better everyday. ๐ŸŒนโค๏ธ

@JaneCaro @HumanHeadline @noplaceforsheep Coercive control is also entailed in mutual obligations where being late or missing an appointment- which can happen in life, particularly when youโ€™re very low on funds, means you can be cut off from your payment as punishment. Leaving people destitute isnโ€™t helping. #auspol

If people hear and understand anything today - please let it be that removing $150/week from #JobSeeker hurts me deeply, sends me back to homelessness and scares me. Poverty kills! I am not alone in this. #BeKind #auspol

He would visit the house I rented from him almost everyday, if not visit, he would call. I hated him doing this. Heโ€™d bought the house seven years after I moved into it. Literally buying the right to own the house - and he thought its contents. #Renters are not property. #auspol

The cashless debit card must not proceed. It is punitive, money funnelling (to the wrong people) and degrading for users. #Poverty is NOT criminal - but sanctioning the poor is a #HumanRights abuse. #NoCDC #RaiseTheRate - assist not crush. #auspol

To all those who follow me. Thank you. My second AAT hearing is 11:30am this Friday. Perhaps better outcomes will follow regarding my JobSeeker payment from @Centrelink ? - maybe they will realise lies donโ€™t create truth. Even when repeated as fact. Truth matters. #auspol #AAT

@matthewlesh I have reported this tweet - I see this as abusive and deliberately targeting all Australians living on welfare. The most sensible thing to do would be to keep the prices at rates everyone can afford and #restrict over buying by those with more cash to hand.

Today I have had the Astra Zeneca #vaccine . If in four days time I am not here... the 21st May 2021... things may not have gone so well. Feeling okay right now. Slightly sore arm where the needle went in, a little headache, slightly under par. Day four the one to watch I'm told.

@DrJeremyWalker It seems the people behind the โ€œnoโ€ campaign are deliberately spreading misinformation - and from this article, that they do so as they fear a FNs voice will strengthen climate action initiatives and hasten the end of our reliance on fossil fuels.
