1/Australia, it's time.
This week's events have convinced me that we need to exert our power as a people, with the aim of replacing* the Australian federal government, not in 2022 but NOW. I don't say this lightly.

2/THIS GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE MADE BETTER.
There's no use appealing to them.
As we've seen this week, there's no use expecting them to obey the law either.
But the main reason for not waiting until 2022 to vote them out?
Bushfire season is coming. And they haven't got a plan.

3/Even after the death and destruction of last summer, THIS GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSHFIRE PLAN.
They'll leave it to the state premiers again, while undermining the ones who openly call out their infantile efforts to politicise crisis situations.

28 years ago, I graduated from #ShoreSchool - a fact I, frankly, don’t like to admit do. From the first day term 2 year 9, until I had a mental breakdown and tried to quit 2 weeks before my trial HSC, I was subjected to (multiple) daily verbal abuse and physical assault…

#shoreschool fiasco got me thinking on a tangent - I’d guess 90% of my fellow medical school graduates attended a private school. I went to a public school but even that had selective entry. Privilege begets further privilege.
