A major new study has looked at the impact of the Australian welfare system on the rates of suicide It concludes that effective suicide prevention would mean raising JobSeeker payments & replacing punitive mutual obligations (such as Work for the Dole) adelaide.edu.au/about/news/2…

Introducing RoboNDIS. We built a tool that applies the same automated assessment logic from the NDIS Sustainability Bill 2026 - the one that lets a computer cut your support without explanation, without appeal, without a human in the room - to federal politicians. Search your favourite MP. See their attendance record. Get their "adjusted salary" after deductions. Receive their automated debt notice. The point is not that politicians should be treated this way. The point is that no one should. Try it: robondis.com #robondis #NDIS #ProtectOurNDIS #disabilityrights #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #auspol

An article about mandatory treatment where I may have written something that is more controversial than anything written by Gary Kerridge :D Don't come @ me. I am not criticising those who choose biotech over language and culture, I am criticising government forcing us to make medical decisions in order to receive reasonable and necessary care and support.

After the amount of money that Labor has gifted to the US via AUKUS and increasing our Defence spending via bowing down to Pete Hegseth, they dare to say they must cut the NDIS. Please understand what Labor really is; they are neoLiberals and they don't care about us:

“Outrageous”🔥 Jordon Steele-John has ripped into legislation for massive cuts to the NDIS & called on Senators to vote for his amendment to give the Disability community time to simply review changes impacting their lives. Penny Allman-Payne also not holding back.💥 #auspol

After all the PM's spin about understanding poverty, Labor's budget does nothing to lift people out of it. No increase to JobSeeker, Youth Allowance, DSP or pension. This is a classic Labor move: feign concern about people's struggles then ignore them when it actually matters.

Oh, so you’re telling me @AustralianLabor completely abandoned the elderly, the poor, the disabled, and the vulnerable in their Budget. Colour me fucking neoliberally shocked.

No, seriously… the impact & consequences of the @AustralianLabor Budget is only hitting me now. I was angry. I knew I’d be angry. But now I’m despondent and I can’t stop crying at the reality of it. So many millions of people, unnecessarily suffering. For what? And WHY???

Mainstream cost-of-living relief is not enough when people with disability face higher energy costs, inaccessible transport, scarce accessible housing and extra system navigation costs. AFI’s Budget analysis: buff.ly/JKkm0ER

Shocking that we have a political class that is so out of touch with People with Disability and those on low incomes such as Jobseeker, DSP and Aged Pension. #NPC #SaveOurNDIS #ProtectOurNDIS

Very scared about people on low incomes and cost of living and housing crisis and the impact it will have, as well as the dire consequences of NDIS cuts on People with Disability.
