Spoke to the Age last week about the shocking state of the #mentalhealth system. People who've made suicide attempts are assessed and discharged due to staff shortages. Community teams can't provide care required because of short staffing, surging demand. buff.ly/3GMqVIR
Another person referred to us having a mental health breakdown - they can't find alternative housing and were given 2 weeks illegal eviction notice. Fuck off landlords

If you have symptoms, get tested.
Gas will increase power prices and either lock in emissions for 20 years or a bunch of stranded leaking gas wells. You can't support a gas boom and climate action at the same time #insiders
Client: yeah man I used 4 different drugs this morning, we all share them, it's like communism. Maybe I should read Karl Marx.
