1. Trump so obnoxious to people like me because he reveals up front, without pretence, the disgusting oligarchy western democracies have become. Like Morrison, in his oily way, except he pretends he cares for people. People without ethics or empathy run America, UK & Oz.
2. Spoke to apolitical voters since #ausvotes, & they don’t think either party gives a shit so they bought the scare. Labor’s factional crap elected a man who couldn’t sell a sandwich to the starving to convey a radical agenda that could have led the world to repair democracy.
3. Was gunna write a book - self publish if necessary - on quality independents who had a go, and the possibilities of voices for honesty, integrity and actual SERVICE to voters having power amid the 2 party, corrupt, self serving muck. Then my Mum got cancer. Now I’m a carer.
4. As a carer I see the disaster neoliberalism caused. Everyone is great - doctors, hospital, palliative care services - except Govt. Impossible to get timely access to Aged Care Australia services, impossible to access carers payment - never engaged in Centrelink before - FUCK!
5. The Govt outsources EVERYTHING, so you’re lost because no one CARES or TAKES RESPONSIBILITY. Endless bureaucracy, no focus on the person or the need. My mother is dying and our family is working very hard to care for her at home as she wants - saving taxpayers a heap. But...
6. The system is mindless or, more likely, Govt WANTS to make asking for help so bloody hard you give up. Which I have. I am a believer in Govt for the people, but the parties - Lib & Lab - were bought by the private sector and outsourced everything so it takes no responsibility.
7. My family is lucky, and I cry for families without the means or the techie capacity to do online - so fucking hopeless - what the Govt won’t let employees personally help them with. They don’t want you to claim. Everything they do is designed to stop you doing it.
8. So, I’d like to point you to a piece I published in Webdiary days, 2003, called ‘Muddying the waters between guardians and traders’. The greedy bastards have won. No idea how to bring GOVT responsibilities back to the GOVT (can you fucking believe private prisons?).
9. Here’s the post - google.com.au/amp/s/amp.smh.…
10. End of rave. My Mum is home and entertaining many visitors. I’m doing my best to keep her here. I cannot imagine life without her. When there was nothing left she was there. She took me in. The only person who could put up with me in the end is dying, with class, of course
