Long COVID is more than fatigue. Our new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s
Long COVID isn’t just a bunch of lingering symptoms. A new study shows it can stop peoole doing what they want to do, and need to do.

If the Albanese govt remains too gutless to tax the gas industry properly [and reform the tax system], that won't just mean poorer services and greater #inequality.
It could be politically disastrous for Labor.
The UK Labour govt shows how rapidly support can be lost if people's needs are ignored.

Our healthcare system is strained with packed waiting rooms, patients waiting in pain for years, and delayed appointments due to cost. But a solution exists.
A 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion a year, funding that could help our healthcare system.

The story of Australia and its peoples is vast and deep. It's one you should know, but possibly one you've never been told. Well, not like this anyway.

💯 agree homes need to return to being readily available shelter not a highly tax effective investment class.
And the tech is available to do it and has been available for a long time. 80% of Sweden's homes are prefab and they've been doing them that way for decades.

Tech in new TVs way better than old ones, and always cheaper, no?
Solar panels, too
Wright's Law driving learning, efficiencies, scale and volume, means prices decline while quality improves.
We're used to house and property prices only going up
Surely it's time to challenge that paradigm?

Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?
Serial killers and violent criminals dominate the headlines. What if we covered ecocide and pollution in the same way?
