NDIS overhaul will ‘harm’ Australians with disabilities, government’s own committee warns

Reform advisory committee says changes will undermine scheme’s original intentions and give unprecedented power to the health minister

NDIS changes ‘retrogressive’ and out of step with review, MPs say

Report by Labor-led joint human rights committee says cuts to the $50bn scheme could limit support for those in need

Tightening NDIS eligibility will disproportionately affect women – in more ways than you’d expect

Women are already less likely to access the NDIS for their disabilities than men and more likely to be carers.

Warning NDIS cuts could increase danger and DV risks

Planned cuts to NDIS community participation budgets could leave participants in unsafe environments, including increasing their risk of dom

( @peachy-ciel )

oh my gosh honey lmfao, I promise you’re (disappointingly?) in no danger of that happening soon; I have a big bang check in this weekend and I’m halfway through finishing the first chapter of a soroku multichapter that’s been driving me insane since December. It’s coming, but probably not until next month at the earliest!

and I am alive! I’ve been diagnosed with a chronic illness, my car was written off, but. I’m alive. Things could be better but certainly could be a lot worse. <3 Hope you’re doing well too

I want to talk about the nsw gay cop who murdered a gay couple and disposed of their bodies on a rural property. The police as an institute breeds abusers.

The news went from saying the perpetrator and one of the victims had dated, only for it to be revealed they had hooked up once and the cop proceeded to stalk and intimidate the couple before eventually killing them.

He used his service weapon to do so. One which had been checked out for use for paid patrol at protests, aka intimidating peace protestors.

He used his position of authority to get a weapon he then proceeded to use to kill a couple and then dump their bodies 2 hours outside city limits. I refuse to even type the killers name but his victims deserve to be heard.

May Jesse Baird and Luke Davies rest in peace, forever in each other's arms.

Australians are going through it right now, government is moving to make sweeping and damaging changes to the National Disability Insurance scheme while scapegoating some disabled people as being undeserving of assistance or of fraudulent behaviour instead of punishing the service providers who are defrauding the participants. Over 200k Disabled people will be kicked off the scheme over the next four years if this bill passes as is.

They are refusing the dismantle the objectively illegally operating private job provider service which eats up millions of taxpayer funding to uses mutual obligations to punish people and cut off their government payments for being unable to find a job in an economy where the reserve bank is literally pushing for higher unemployment rates to fight inflation, ensuring more people end up in poverty.

Refusing to invest in public housing and only tinkering around the edges of the negative gearing situation which allows wealthy property hoarders to write off losses accrued while being landlords meaning there is no punishment for failing to run your property well and allows homes to sit empty while they reap the profits of hoarding them.

And now we have cowardly transphobic conservative backbenchers pushing bills to fuck with the Sex Discrimination Act so they can ban Trans women from womens spaces.

Protect Murujuga Rock Art: Sign the Petition

One of Australia and the world’s most important artworks is being destroyed by acid gas pollution. The Murujuga rock art on the Burrup Pe

The Australian Institute is currently running a petition to save the rock art at Murujuga from destruction due to irresponsible expansion of gas mining by greedy corporations

These rock carvings are something around 40,000 years old and as said in the link are "twice as ancient as the Lascaux cave paintings in France and eight times older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge "

If you care about protecting Indigenous Culture and history please sign.

You do not have to be an Australian Citizen to sign the petition.
