Interesting reading the ERC (Expenditure review committee) online handbook dpc.wa.gov.au/RoleOfGovernme… and the ministers answer in QT re $443m to GBRF. Were guidelines followed?
Interesting reading the 2050 reef Sustainability plan published in July 2018 (1st edition in 2015) by Josh's Dept and why this plan needs to be administered by a 6 person Foundation rather than Govt? environment.gov.au/system/files/r…

According to the 2007–08 National Health Survey (NHS), an estimated 428,000 Australians reported having rheumatoid arthritis. So there's nearly twice as many ppl with Ehlers-Danlos than Rheumatoid Arthritis in Australia:
Why does that matter? Well...let's take a look at a comparative study of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome vs Rheumatoid Arthritis: "Significantly poorer physical, psychosocial, and overall function was found in the EDS-HT group compared with the RA group" ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21391…
"T scores from the MPI revealed significantly higher levels of pain severity and life interference due to pain, and a lower level of perceived life control, in the EDS-HT group compared to the RA group"

Thread. I am very worried that the Girl Guides is creating an institution and climate which is conducive to abuse.
Those who wish to access victims will exploit situations and put themselves in positions where they are surrounded by children. It is why paedophiles entered the Catholic Church, sports coaching, gymnastics coaching, children’s hospitals and homes.
One is not going to get much access to children while working on an oil rig.

Let's talk about the F word.

The NDIS had a proposed Medicare levy increase, which the original proponents of the levy welcomed.

I understand that some dis org may not understand this issue. However, it is not the job of activists to spend time ploughing through reports.
2/ You need to read the Productivity Commission's Oct 17 report (screenshot above, blind folks, too long 2 describe pc.gov.au/inquiries/comp… ) And you also need to pay more attention. The way they are limiting & capping the scheme is well known and it is at the directive of govt
3/ This has been released, read, understood. And it DIRECTLY affects your membership, so you need to listen to those members (I know you do already, but we hear it every day on the ground.)I will reinforce some of the issues here which outline WHY you need to harmonise messages.

OK, here goes.

My current "What happened around pensions, USS & UUK in 2015?" folder. [This follows on from: threadreaderapp.com/thread/9731361…].

Same aim as the one from 2014: to serve the #ucustrike #ussstrike. Please distribute / send additions / corrections.
First, I need to add a couple of missing things to the 2014 timeline. I was trying to find Imperial College London’s response to UUK on USS’s consultation, but the link on their website no longer works. But it has been stored elsewhere. #ucustrike #ussstrikes
25 Nov 2014 [from doc properties] "Imperial College London’s response to UUK on USS’s consultation" warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statis…. They strongly question the assumptions within the model, & argue for greater transparency #ussstrikes #ucustrike Screen shot of page one of document linked to in the tweet

Hey @CarersAustralia ! What are you doing about the fact that DSS seem to have, by stealth, introduced the 'you need to tell us if you have NDIS because it may affect your Carers Payment' - despite all the assurances to the contrary people received? Did you know?
2/ Given that the support you receive from NDIS is supposed to bridge the gap between a disabled life and an ordinary life and is not taxable income, how does this work? We understand that Carers Payment is assessed as 'full time caring' - but is that a 24 hour commitment?
3/ And why, exactly, is it that you'd remove Carers Payment from people on the basis that they 'care less' (seems to be a lot of that going around) without telling people? @auspolwatch #auspol @Centrelink @HumanServicesAU
