A lot of people have been reaching out, asking how to protect their mental health during this #victorialockdown. While we know these new measures are necessary and the right way to go, we can take some steps to protect our wellbeing across the coming week: 🧵 1/7 👇 #covid19vic
First, it’s ok to acknowledge this is a tough time. If you need help, reach out to friends or family by phone or online. You can also always contact @beyondblue (1800 512 348) or @LifelineAust (13 11 14) if you need support. Never feel ashamed to ask for help. 🧵 2/7 #COVID19Vic
3/7. Try to establish a routine quickly. Maintaining sense of control is tough when things change. Creating routine across your day & blocking out hours in a simple diary can help us feel more in control. Try to make time to relax & do things that make you happy. #covid19vic

I’ve undertaken genomic testing on key COVID policy failures: vaccination rollout, insecure labour, hotel quarantining, private aged care. Common strand? Cwth govt policy. What's driving the "outbreak" of govt failure? 1/6 #VicLockdown
Uncoordinated, unregulated, private delivery has been underwritten by LNP at every turn (using $bn's of public $). Expanding "markets" like those in insecure work or new private contracts in hotels, GPs, social srvcs is 1 focus. The other? Preventing public sector expansion. 2/6
If quality & trust in public services increases (say, off back of global pandemic crisis), it takes yrs for conservative govts to unwind - thru politically-orchestrated public sctr failure (underfunding). When ppl are pissed funds then redirected to "efficient" private hands. 3/6

And on this "magnus opus" edition, there's heaps to dissect...

PODCAST: "I Just Said That!", Episode No. 29 patreon.com/posts/podcast-…
*The #VicLockdown, the need for JobKeeper 2.0 via the ACTU's @unionsaustralia call for it, Spring Street coming to some limited rescue... three angels dancing on the head of a pin. Just listen; you'll understand.

#IJustSaidThat! #auspol
*As the Australian vaccine rollout execution has been quite poor in general, the failure in the aged care sector has been even worse. Time to handball rollouts to the states? The unions @unionsaustralia and the @HSUNational seem to think so.
