North Carolina’s Atrium Health says it will forgive the debts of 11,500 people — less than a week after NBC News reported that the company has aggressively pursued former patients’ medical debts, placing liens on their homes to collect on bills.

Here is @nickfeik.bsky.social on the silence about the massive scandals in Tasmanian governance and transparency. Victims of abuse are still suffering and many of the abusers are still in place.
Here’s a thought experiment: imagine if any of these things had happened in Melbourne, Sydney or Canberra? What would be the general reaction? It wouldn’t be embarrassed silence, that’s for sure.

This sounds like a very worthwhile cause. It’s a shame we have to do this but if the government won’t, then we will.
If you can spare a couple of dollars, this is a good cause.

Today I introduced this in Parliament. It’s time the Big Tech giants were made to manage their algorithms to make our online experience safe, time we stopped asking users and parents to be the solution to social media harm. The operators of these platforms should step up. My Bill would achieve that.

I thought it might be useful to explain the structure of a political office for those that don’t know.
A PM or a premier might have up to 80 people or more working in their private political office as advisors.
