The mental health system is fraught with problems on multiple fronts, none of which can be fixed quickly.
A review of the Medicare Better Access program was released at the end of 2018 with very important recommendations; no movement.
LNP cut a number of proper low income programs; not replaced.

His good friend the head of the White House Faith Office already has that going for her, so they’re most of the way there already.

Alternatively, when a temporary emergency measure with a limited allocation of funding put towards it up to a set end date ends as planned, that is not a cut.
It would have been good to see the COVID Better Access sessions continue, but those temporary measures ended as agreed. Not a cut.

Remember: if it was decided, passed, and the money was there in the budget for it, then removing it to not spend it as agreed is in fact a cut.

While also being condemned for being antisemitic and against the Jewish population of Australia for supporting a two-state solution for Palestine while bringing “Islamic terrorists” from Gaza into our country as asylum seekers.
Thinking it’s not that simple, and not a reason to put Dutton in.

As is so common at the moment, lack of individual wealth at the bottom is being blamed on a need to divide it all up and share with those who have the least instead of looking at how much of that wealth has been redistributed to the top and removed from the pool.

The graph? Of population? Not hard to see that that population living in only 1/3 of the houses would have an impact on housing availability, noting that this houses per household figure has increased - houses have increased MORE than population, they’re just not available to live in.

Bigger issue is the increase in houses per household; eg one family taking up 3 houses.
These aren’t rentals, or there’d still be households in them. These are holiday homes mostly sitting empty, potentially enjoying tax breaks as short stay (bnb style) holiday rentals.

The two different styles are so vastly different - some come out with the same clunky rants with ALL CAPS interspersed throughout with dodgy structure, and some sound exactly like the WH Press Secretary speaking at the press.

That’s not penalty rates. Did you not mean penalty rates when replying?
But JobSeeker rates are $140/fn higher now than those quoted in the article from 2022, with an additional $55/fn introduced for those with only partial work capacity, and an increase in rent assistance.

The tariffs other countries have are irrelevant in this. Not reciprocal, not proportional; tariffs aren’t part of the equation at all. Australia copped 20% tariffs despite having 0% tariffs on the USA, so what tariffs should we eliminate?

Sorry, regardless of how far down the list you put them, I’m not seeing how putting Libs over Labor helps the Greens get up. Your preferences don’t get looked at unless your Greens candidate doesn’t get in, then if the others don’t either it’s just choosing Liberal over Labor. Where’s the strategy?

The Prime Minister will be from Labor or the Liberals - Albo being slammed as antisemitic for publicly supporting a two state outcome and Dutton saying Trump’s plan to remove the Palestinian people from Gaza to turn it into a new Riviera where the wealthy play sounds like a good idea.

Noting that his “chart” had nothing at all to do with the tariffs other countries have on the US, but was a measure of amounts imported vs exported.
And anyone where the calculated trade deficit was less than 20% of total imports still got hit with a 10% tariff, inc when a surplus.

?? Where you put preferences only matters if your Greens first preference is out of the running, meaning your vote will then go to the Liberal candidate.
