Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.
Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Australia is selling its gas to Japan so cheaply, that Japan is selling it again to other countries!
But Big Gas wants us to think we have a shortage problem, not an export problem.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Just caught Falkingham's comments at NDIS estimates from last week. She says 28 days for eligibility reassessments has been the process since the inception of the scheme. Their own documents say otherwise. 56 days before decision vs 28 days before decision, arbitrarily changed in October last year.

It has found no corruption.

Today I learned the federal government's longstanding Scheme for Compensation for Detriment caused by Defective Administration does not apply to Corporate Commonwealth Entities, a category that includes the National Disability Insurance Agency. Faulty NDIS admin somehow immune.
