Why is there not more focus on this horrible tragedy that we see in middle-aged men?

The experts are “perplexed”. How cute. It was obvious this was going to be the outcome when an addictive substance was being pushed as legit medicine with piss poor evidence to back the claims up abc.net.au/news/2025-05-1…

This the waiting time for the “cheap” ($5K) aged dependant visa. The more expensive one ($50K) now has a waiting time of 12y. You can wait in Aus on a bridging visa but need to fund everything privately. Health insurance going up to $600 per month in July

‘Butler went on to say the government would be keeping a “close eye on gap fees” and other charges. “We want to see a response from general practice to the very significant investment on behalf of taxpayers,” he said.’ Gap fees = failure of the public insurance @Mark_Butler_MP

@ecowittweather can you give us any indication why your servers are down and when you will be back up again?

So to paraphrase - the majority who voted no are dumb, old, poor and rural. At least they were jn the majority which is what really count in a democratic process abc.net.au/news/2023-10-1…

@iiNet Given that the Messaging Company has advised that it is on their side how will iiNet resolve this? I thought iiNet has withdrawn from email hosting?

@tvren Hi Thinus, send us a DM here or over on Facebook (m.me/iiNet) and we'll help get your mail access working. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@iiNet I moved all of my emails to the Messaging company when you forced us to. Before the deadline. They are supposed to take over this week and this morning none of my email logins are working anymore. Have you dropped 1000s of your customers down the dunny ?

@Ms_TM At least you had a response - all I ever had from them was the code months ago confirming that they will take the email address over but total radio silence since and no SoMe AFAIK

@tvren I've spoken to the support team @ TMC & they tell me it should be fixed in an hour but my cynical soul dies not believe them.

iiNet decided to stop hosting my emails and hand if over to “the messaging company” Like thousands of other users u either chose to change decades worth of contact details or change to the new provider. The change happened this week and today all email has stopped working

- with total radio silence from iiNet and TMC. Pathetic service from an entity that I have had my emails with for over 23 years @iiNet @TPG_Telecom @choiceaustralia @abcnews @australian

Another ostrich sticking its head in the sand. Alienating expats is such a stupid approach

Payroll tax is a substantial threat to equitable healthcare I walk you through the details here 14 minutes, but you can speed it up👇 loom.com/share/319407f1…

⁦@canberratimes⁩ Would the tram need any counseling?

@Officeworks Happened twice within the past few months - Belconnen ACT

@tvren @tvren we’re sorry for any frustration this has caused. If you can please DM us the store(s) this has occurred at when visiting? We can then ensure your feedback is raised with the appropriate team for review, thank you. ^WB

@Officeworks why is the number of empty display boxes on your shelves always more than the actual stock behind the counter? Tired of being told you have nothing in stock when I present the box at the cashier. Poor stock management or being deceitful?

@DamanLangguth @KangarooBeach I trained in Africa where we did not have the drills. I did IO with an 18 or 16 gauge IV cannula needle in these cases. More finicky but do-able

@KangarooBeach I was I yarrabah on country reliever: 4 hours in a 7 month old came on in to ED : totally flat : asked for an IO needle : what is that I was asked : ran some saline down a ng tube : was in a cyclone so no copter: icu Evac consultant came by road qas; amazingly she survived

Intraosseous access. To my mind the EZIO drill is by far the best device out there - great tactile feedback, easy to use. BUT the cost! Drills are over $1K, needles over $200 each. Is there a cheaper option in pipeline to make IO access affordable for more users & locations?

Does anyone still believe that Private Health Insurers are not roleplayers in Primary Healthcare ?

@taipan168 lost in all this is the fact that the stage 3 tax cut recipients pay the vast lions share of the taxes which make up government revenue. Also lost is that the ave person on $92k, is also a beneficiary of these tax cuts, but a lesser amount (of course, tax is a %). ABC and math🤦‍♂️

When all else fails resort to a divide & conquer approach #gpsunderattack
