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
Apparently, even as someone no longer in receipt of JobSeeker, they are now refusing me disaster cover for loss of work. If this doesn’t send me the signal they’d like to see me homeless and starving and die I don’t know what does. What “right to #SocialSecurity? #auspol
I am preparing now to visit my local @Centrelink office and apply for three things. 1. Reinstatement of JobSeeker, 2. Low Income Health Care Card, 3. Disaster Payment for loss of work in lockdown as someone not on JobSeeker - even as Indefinitely should still be. #auspol #LNPfail
Research shows that Kamala Harris may be the most targeted American politician on the internet, one who checks every box for the haters of the fever swamps: She's a woman, she's a person of color and she holds power.

Abuse directed at women is often personalized,attacking them based on their appearance &denigrating their intelligence. President Biden gets his share of smears but they tend to focus on his age; Those directed at Harris tend to reference sex, violence or misogynistic accusations
In the first week after Harris was named to the ticket, the sexualized hashtag #(heelsupharris) appeared 35,479 times in Twitter posts. Immediately following the running-mate announcement, false claims about Harris were being shared at least 3,000 times an hour on Twitter.
