It feels like our public health systems have gone backwards since covid. Not because we don't have the skills and resources, but because of ideology.

I'm a trauma researcher. So many people shouldn't have kids.

I have a bachelors in psychology so was able to pick based on my understanding of approaches. I knew I didn't want CBT, so went with an ACT psych instead. Mine is also a developmental psychologist so I knew they'd be more likely to understand neurodevelopmental disabilities than your average psychologist.

It's interesting that people want daylight savings in qld during summer because we spend most of summer wanting the sun to fuck off.

We have a small population and mandatory voting means everyone gets a vote by default. We also have a different culture around voting because the majority of us have to do it. We have sausage sizzles and democracy dogs. I've personally worked at polls all over my state and there's never been a line longer than 10 people. It takes most people like 5 mins max to vote. We make voting easy in Australia because everyone has to do it.

It's worth noting that it's not all that mandatory. It's relatively easy to simply avoid enrolling to vote. You're not automatically enrolled in other words. Also it's really easy to just sign your name off at the poll and hand in a blank vote. The worst outcome of not voting is a fine that you can pretty easily get out of as well.

As an autistic person that's a double fuck you from me

 

Key points:

  • The federal government has announced a plan to make it a criminal offence to perform the Nazi salute in Australia.
  • Meanwhile, hundreds of prominent Australians have signed a letter denouncing anti-Semitism and racism.
  • Jewish and Islamic groups say there has been a huge rise in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
 

After a week of silence, leading ‘Yes’ campaigners have begun to detail three ways forward for the movement – including fighting to keep Peter Dutton out of office.
