Prof. Carney spoke extensively on vulnerability as a concept in policy and law and his closing remarks were that we are all at all times vulnerable in some respect or other, and this is why the law exists.
Terry Carney AO beginning his lecture touching on Robodebt, the Targeted Compliance Framework, the apportionment debt scandal, the NDIS budget assessment automation, think that should just about cover it in a tight hour or so.

Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

Sadly, very true. I think Covid has proven that sacrificing the elderly and medically vulnerable is acceptable if it means keeping the wheels of commerce moving. There were politicians that basically said it out loud. Boris Johnson and Tony Abbott being the most notable.
