There was a knock at the door. I opened it, against my better judgement. This is a rough neighbourhood.

It was almost 11pm.

A much older woman stood there in a thin cardigan, huddled against the cold.

'Hello,' she said, her voice faltering. 'This used to be my mum's house.' 2/ I was instantly delighted. Old houses enchant me and this one, with the beautiful ceilings and the now demolished garden, had clearly been loved.

I invited her in. As she brushed past me, I realised she'd been drinking.

'I've been too chicken to visit,' she confessed.

Australians with disability do not want the changes Labor has put on the table and is trying to facilitate via legislation that was kept secret. I have been told that DROs were told if they made certain things public, they would be referred to the Dept of Public Prosecutions. 2/ I cannot begin to outline why this is wrong. Using bully boy tactics will not work. Threats and intimidation may work with those who are afraid for their jobs or positions. But this is about our LIVES. We will fight back with everything we have.

This cartoon was never truer.

Continuing in this vein, please EXPLAIN, Einsteins theory of relativity, with no hint of heteronormativity? 2/ ‘Buckle up, darling, because we're about to dive into the fabulous cosmos of Einstein’s theory of relativity, a theory so elegant, it sashays through the universe, defying the mundane constraints of Newtonian physics with the grace of a drag queen owning the runway…

I've prepared a summary of the Government response to the long COVID 'Sick and Tired' report for those who have brain fog.

I've pulled out the main parts of the document in response to the Recommendations and have noted the gaps.

No commentary, just the response to the report. 2/ · Recommendation 1: Govt gives in principle support for establishing a COVID-19 database, acknowledging data integration projects and challenges in data linkage.

Fast history lesson about the rise of the right in the wake of the Spanish Flu.
The resulting economic downturn and political manoeuvring made the preconditions for the Holocaust possible.

These are the factors that informed it. 2/ Hitler's rise to power involved strategic political maneuvering within the democratic framework of the Weimar Republic. There are a number of paths to power that were involved. We are seeing some of those same strategies utilised today to garner power.

In five days a ‘free speech’ cookerfest will be held at the Norwood Town Hall - are South Australians happy about this? If not, give the council a yell.

Here’s the ad - on their local govt website. Cool and normal npsp.sa.gov.au/about_council/…

2/ The people advertised by this local govt authority include a group, NOSCAG, that thinks mind control devices will be implanted in people’s brains. Here they are protesting another council.

Once I was punished; I don’t remember why.

He took my childhood books away. I was very young.

I lost my friends, Silky, Moonface and the Saucepan Man. I was inconsolable.

And so I stole their books, the ‘boring’ ones. Shakespeare. The Works of Edgar Allan Poe.

He caught me. 2/ He had already confiscated my lamp. There was a fluoro light in my room. I dared not turn it on.

So I lay on the floor, reading avariciously by the thin ribbon of light that streamed below my door. I read, read until my eyes hurt.

I was so engrossed I didn’t see him coming.

This is so disconcerting to read.

Shame on you, @tasmaniapolice.

'She was obviously malnourished and frail. Her hair, grey in colour was matted into large clumps. Her eyes were glazed. In her discussions with the police, captured on body-worn camera, HJ made no sense.' 2/ 'She spoke rapidly of various conspiracies involving the police, people from China, Isis, and Jesus. It is abundantly plain viewing the footage, which frankly is uncomfortable to watch, that HJ was gravely ill - both mentally and physically.'

What people don’t recognise about #BenRobertsSmith is why he thought he was untouchable. Daddy served as Commissioner of the Corruption and Crime Commission of Western Australia and was a former Supreme Court judge. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Rober…

But wait, there’s more. 2/ In 2002, Daddy Len was appointed Judge Advocate General (JAG) of the Australian Defence Force.

In 2012, he was appointed as chair of an independent Defence Abuse Response Taskforce (DART), to deal with individual complaints of sexual and other abuse in the ADF.

Good things about today.

I have a drivers license again after adulting. They asked if I lived in Margaret River. I have never lived there - the reason I had no license is that a fine was sent there, to someone else’s address! Then unpaid (of course) and then license suspended. 2/ I have now sorted it all out with a kind and professional man from the Dept of Transport. The concierge looked at my mask and the very crowded room and ushered me to a desk, which I so appreciated. People were coughing and coughing. Thanks, DoT!

Holy hell, @ChrisMinnsMP. Have you even LOOKED at what’s happening at Dubbo Base Hospital?

These are the most shocking reviews I have ever read. Something is rotten deep within the public health system.

IN A PANDEMIC.

Read these reviews. I dare you to. 2/ holy
shit

No offence Dr Harris

I bothered to look and see who treated Stephen with such unprofessionalism and dismissive superiority at Dubbo Hospital last night, because good Catholic schoolgirls do their homework.

It was a Dr Harris who left Stephen crumpled to his knees in a car park last night. THIS guy. 2/ Now, Dubbo healthcare has had their share of issues - isn't that right, @wnswlhd? And I am sure they will welcome my complaint today after, you know, dead babies and inquiries just last year. abc.net.au/news/2022-08-2…

So I had a mother's look at young Dr Harris.

Today a pharmacist told my gf when she casually picked up regularly (5+ years) prescribed opioids for me that I must a) go see a pain specialist (done x a LOT) b) go to a local GP (there isn’t one) & demanded to know who was ‘looking after’ my care. @PharmGuildAus @Mark_Butler_MP 2/ Of course we all know you need to see doctors for more than a year to prescribe opioids, and no doctor in this region is accepting new patients. So - yeah. I paid a private doctor yesterday, who said nah, can’t do an iron infusion without new tests >a week old.

Right.

Here is another film, and by now you should be seeing a common thread.

How many people are talking now about healthy immune systems, and health superiority?

The rise of the right is all the more terrifying because it has happened before.

2/ Because this is what is happening now.

Here is the description.

Nazi propaganda film -- Aufklaerungsfilm [Instructional film] -- depicting life on earth as a permanent struggle for food, reproduction, and survival between strong and weak animals.

Let me explain some basic economic facts to people who do not get the importance of what was announced on Friday re #NDIS by @AlboMP. I have had much rebuttal, especially from Labor rusted ons who think that disabled people are being unduly critical and folk who have it wrong. 2/ This is the situation.

They say that under the current trajectory, the cost of the NDIS will reach $97 billion by 2032-33. But if the scheme achieves just an 8 per cent growth rate instead, the NDIS will cumulatively save more than $50 billion over the next decade.

How do we think that @AlboMP is going to 'rein in' spending on the NDIS, without talking to us about it first?

And we are talking about a lot of money here - growth is currently at 14%; he is saying they want to commit to a goal of 8%.

So listen up, disabled folk. Important. 2/ There are a couple of ways you can reduce costs and @billshortenmp has signalled that he will be introducing a couple of non controversial measures, including catching the bad guys, cutting red tape and reducing price gouging. It's not clear how he will do the third.

I’m in the alien disclosure cooker meeting. A man just said that Joe Biden doesn’t have dementia, he’s a bad clone. Another woman is saying army bases are connected to lay lines for the space ships. And they have taken all the sacred sites. 2/ There’s a statement that Prince William owns Serco.

These are Australians.

A man named Danny Searle has written books called the truth chronicles. He got banned in 2015 and they took his tax file number because of his book *cough*. He was banned from EVERYTHING, he says.

The burden of autism.

All the names, they stay with me. Connections upon connections - sometimes, it is useful. For organisations like #Hillsong.

I talked about current Hillsong Board member Stephen Crouch earlier today. And then I looked, and looked again. And saw this. 2/ Dr Crouch, who if you remember, was found by the ACCC to be liable for issues around Mercy Ministries, has quite the insurance business. And he is surrounded by names that are recently familiar. Because I read about them in bodies connected to Hillsong and Hillsong directors.

He never cared about Twitter.

@elonmusk always cared about power. And influence, game playing, and toying with people through experimentation to prove his point.

That's why you handed over your private numbers so he can sell it on, pre election, while influencing said election.

https://twitter.com/ItsBouquet/status/1649561912903090178

2/ Why is it that nobody can see this?

How much did he interact with Twitter before? He isn't just engaging in bants with those folk or bathing in public adulation, although that's there, too - he's playing the games y'all taught him to play.

He's autistic. Nothing surer.

So let’s talk about this, because @billshortenmp is talking about it at the National Press Club today and Bill is nothing if not a cunning bastard (that’s a compliment, Bill). And listen hard, because this has to do with #Robodebt & #RoboNDIS.

amp.theguardian.com/australia-news…

And THIS. 2/ Your first two questions should be this: why are the architects of Robodebt, Scott Britton and Jason Ryman, still employed within fraud and compliance at the Ndia? And what did they do there?

Your second, what’s intended next? #auspol

I really, really hope that @ACNC_gov_au are having a mother's look at Hillsong's affairs.

Last year's whistle-blower action talked about their 'independent' consultant.

Here's a list of entities that THAT guy's involved in. Including Horizon.

Links in next tweet. 2/ You might want to have a look at how independent Mr Kirkland is. And what is going on in NZ. abc.net.au/news/2022-08-1…
