Excellent Analogy on Dutton's statements regarding it doesn't matter what happened back then and Robodebt from Richard Denniss on ABC this morning.

Let's unf#ck employment services.
I am so angry, and I hate being angry. I am furious that I asked the Coroner and the Ombudsman to help me, but they let their unconscious biases ignore me. Why did I have to do the job they were paid to do?
Another massive shout out to Cat Walker for taking my call late at night, listening and advocating for me. I feel very fortunate to have you in my life Cat!
A massive shout-out to Karl Shami from Maurice Blackburn. He listened to me and wrote an outstanding letter reflecting my feelings to the OAIC. I am very grateful.
I seriously cannot do this for much longer. I am trying to go to sleep, but all day, every day, I am waiting for answers from Centrelink. So it rolls over and over in my head!
I thought the OIAC appeal would have released the information I have been seeking for 5 & 1/2 years by the end of this year, but it appears that they have not finished torturing me yet. Not sure that the media can help. I think this is a fight I have to do on my own
This song is so complicated for me. When I witnessed the RC, it played repeatedly in my head. I feel he is trying to fix my pain & I am trying to fix what happened to him.
I want to share this song because it is so special to me. It is so complex because of my complicated grief.
I am struggling with society and expectations. I should not be so direct. I am sorry that I lost my son and have been fighting Government decisions. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

So great to have another who worked at DHS to speak honestly. Thank you.
Governments are not supposed to cause harm. If they do not carefully consider what harm can occur due to policy & procedures or ignore the voices advising of consequences, then they are knowingly causing harm and should be held accountable.
This confuses me. Social media has been know to cause suicides. Further to this, what is Suicide Prevention Australia doing about internet search engines having dangerous content readily available for ways to kill yourself?
Oh, that's okay. You just made me smile. You should have heard them try to pronounce his last name at swim meets. Jarrad and I used to giggle every time 😄.
So Brereton thinks if he resigns, he will damage the NACC's reputation. Is he delusional? The damage has already been done!

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time writing (actually preparing!!) this opening address at the True Story Writers’ Festival in Coledale north of Wollongong this Saturday. About Mean Streak, Robodebt, et al. Think it’s going to be pretty special. Tickets here: events.humanitix.com/true-story-2...
