Grog's rule of privatisation:
"The day you decide to allow the private sector deliver a public service is also the day you should set the future date for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system."
"The day you decide to allow the private sector deliver a public service is also the day you should set the future date for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system."
Adele Ferguson (journalist leading an ABC investigation into child abuse at childcare centres) just told ABC AM that 84% of child abuse occurs in "for profit" (eg privatised) centres.
These centres are putting making money ahead of checking for pedophiles. Who cares about pedos? There's $$ to make

Every morning we wake up to more horror – but worse than that, more people who are seemingly indifferent to it. Compassion burnout is real, but it is also what power wants. Empathy keeps us human and yes, it is heavy, but it's a burden worth holding ♥️

Just spent 2hrs looking after a runaway puppy near a very busy main road. Super cute but super stressful. Police & RSPCA transferred me to Council, but council couldn't help since it was past 3:30pm. Very grateful for the kind stranger who stopped & helped.

A gutless PM who has no understanding of power.
Doesn't know how to lead... not sure he wants to. Was much more happy as Leader of the House where he could just play student politics with Chris Pyne and it was all meaningless.

This is contemptuously disingenuous and completely unacceptable from a senior public servant. If you want to undermine people’s faith in democracy, this is a masterclass.

"The government has introduced a bill on social media minimum age requirements, but no one, including the Minister responsible, knows yet how it is going to work" is not the behaviour of fully functioning adults.

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

The idea that people here are retreating to an echo chamber carries the implication that you owe your attention to people who despise you. That’s entirely backwards. 1/2
