Finally the PTSD nightmares are receding, making way for some of the most cherished memories of my life with the late #VedaMeneghetti, cut short by a rare & complex #YoungOnsetDementia. Bless her for donating her brain & spinal chord to research. Soon we may know what & why.

Dr. Mustafa, who treated children in Gaza, recalled:
β€ "Sometimes you feel like a butcher...when you're putting in chest drains into children and you're not sedating them...A chest drain is stabbing somebody in the chest and getting all the way into where the lung tissue is."

I find it incredible to believe that anyone could not condemn the senseless murder of innocent children and families by Israel. Pure evil
βοΈBREAKINGβοΈ: Gaza Al-Roya Tower (12 floors of media, clinics, sports & civilian offices) is under threat.
Smashing, bombing, levelling everything built on the surface is not war: it is the deliberate creation of conditions meant to destroy a group as such, i.e. genocide.

Israel is a rogue state committing unforgivable war crimes. It is also damaging its own people. A whole generation of damaged Israelis committing state condoned war crimes and brainwashed to believe that murdering innocent people is normal. Intergenerational trauma & violence
10 Sep 2025
One of the most disgusting things I have read in quite some time.
Daniel Raab, an American from Chicago who became a sniper in the IDF, brags about how he killed unarmed Palestinian teenagers in Gaza.
The callousness with which he brags about his war crimes will send chills down your spine.
But it also reveals a complete lack of ability to see Palestinians as humans. To him, the Palestinian he had just killed was nothing more than an insect, and as a result, Raab could not comprehend why the victim's teenage brother was devastated by his death and sought to retrieve his body.
So Raab murdered the brother, too.

Government has the right to set policy. Experts have the right to tell them they are wrong. Citizens have the right to object.
No government gets every decision right. Smart governments change their policy when they realise that they have it wrong

Thousands of older people are left homeless because Labor are rationing aged care out only to those who can most afford it.
In for-profit aged care, the worse your health is, the less likely you are to be cared for. That's shameful in this wealthy country.theaustralian.com.au/nation/β¦

The effects are widely felt. When 20% of your beds are occupied by people in the wrong place for their needs, it creates massive bed block that then ripples through the entire hospital system and community. The new Support at Home will not fix the problem, it will make it worse

My Illawarra region is 1,000 aged care beds short. Aged care patients now occupy 20% of all public hospital beds. Frail vulnerable people becoming more agitated & deconditioned while they wait an average of 66 days in hospital. π@Mark_Butler_MP @RyanPark_Keira @senatorpennyqld

Labor had to be dragged kicking and screaming by the Greens and others in the Senate just to release 20,000 home care packages.
This time, Labor should take heed of this warning from the states, and release enough high quality care for everyone who needs it.

The govt new Aged Care Act fails to take the leap from a provider-focused system to one that genuinely places the rights of older people front and centre.
The act does not provide universal access to aged care based on assessed need.

Congratulations @SenatorWong for imposing tough sanctions on Russia. But you are rapidly losing credibility by your failure to impose equally tough sanctions on Israel. Your continued support of Israel is unethical & not in Australiaβs interests @AmyRemeikis
17 Sep 2025
Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russiaβs actions in Ukraine. 1,600.
And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade.
Itβs not that we canβt act against a genocide, itβs that we are choosing not to.

One of these two Australian doctors in Gaza says in this clip that she delivered a baby by C-section from a beheaded woman.

I want u to hear these 2 doctors from Australia sending their last words, fully aware they could be killed any second.
What theyβre describing is horror that defies belief.

Former New South Wales premier and Optus bigwig Gladys Berejiklian has evaded questions relating to the catastrophic outage to triple zero services that left four people dead as state premiers and federal government ministers blast the embattled telco for keeping them out of the loop.

Limited aid is entering Gaza, with PM Netanyahu saying distribution zones will open soon, but UN agencies warn it's far too little as Palestinians face starvation under Israelβs blockade.
