Damned AI. Vehicle appears to be left-hand drive, rare in Aust. How many arms does the driver have? Southern Cross on Aussie flag is a mangled mess. Is the driver about to drive off without unplugging?

I'm not in the US, but I suspect that she really was elected.

Me too! One cat scratch that I did not promptly disinfect turned into an angry, swollen, red forearm. Then it spread for my upper arm and my knee joints which became so painful I could hardly walk. Took 2 courses of oral antibiotics and 3 sessions of IV to fix. Never ignore it, sepsis can be fatal!

Conveniently using a stereotype for the elderly and ignoring the fact that the Venn diagram of the elderly, poors, and helpless includes a significant overlapped area.

How will they know what Aussie values are? Is there a list published somewhere? If so, are the the bullet points flagged by a blue star?

Reckon he must still be there, but only as a young apprentice seat-warmer whose primary function is to defend against criticism of a so-called 'aged care' system that is simply not fit for purpose.

Promise of more circuses, but hold the bread.

Ethelred the Unready? (King of England 988 - 1016, failed to prevent the Danes from overrunning England).

Our particular clone failed to prevent the overrun of Australia by Yanks, Zionists, and the likes of Palantir.

There is an interesting doco named "Careless" currently running on Netflix. It highlights the plight of aged Australians as a result of "care" privatisation since the Hawke/Keating era with progressive degrading in the name of profit during the Howard, Morrison, & Albanese eras.

I'm sure we would all be very willing to help him out in this quest by each contributing one raised digit.🖕

Surely a pointless exercise given that both sides share the same deity which takes the form of a black, sticky liquid.

Despite the fact that all these "top economists" are likely to be high income earners with little experience of how the lower echellons of society need to struggle against the impact of poorly engineered budgets, the apple is a safe universal symbol. Why, you can even get them at Food Banks.

They definitely should be raised. But given the current privatised Australian aged care system this would mean that even more of us low income aged care recipients would be priced out of receiving the level of care that we desperately need. Aged care should never have been privatised!

Another factor that can have a serious impact on retirement wealth, or lack of it, is the sheer number of scams specifically targeting this age group. Trusting the wrong investment strategy can cost you your entire life savings. In Aust $120 million was irretrievably lost to scams in 2023.

As per the comment in your profile I will assume that your reply was intended to be sarcastic. In which case it's also in rather poor taste due to a complete lack of empathy for those who are doing it much tougher than yourself in the current Kafkaesce Australian aged care space.

..or perhaps Prostatalia given that our govt is aging male-dominated with an attachment to the "trickle-down" myth. 😆

Government is perpetuating the 'Wealthy Boomer' myth to justify aged care funding cuts - Hellocare Government rhetoric suggests baby boomers can afford higher aged care fees. Yet most people entering residential care are women in their mid-80s with minimal superannuation. The wealthy boomer myth ma...

The Govt is perpetuating the "Wealthy Boomer" myth to justify aged-care funding cuts - even though 26% of Australians over 65 are renting and therefore unlikely to own significant assets.

Curious. Has anyone ever published results of a study on the nutritional value of an economy?

That benefits only 250,000 out of at least 7 million Australian households. The rest of us will never be able to afford to install panels and batteries and will therefore be unlikely to gain any direct benefit from the solar subsidies.

Neither do I. If any LNP member (or Marles) appears on my TV screen it triggers an immediate mute.

"Australia supports this action?" How could he possibly claim that? I don't remember him ever asking us. Do you?

"Who's goanna feed you, and bathe you, and wipe your bum when you're 90?" Given the current state of the Labor-mangled aged-care system, and associated need-assessment algorithm, it demonstrably will NOT be any contemporaneously elected "Labor" government!

I want to put it on record that I will NOT be voting for Malinauskas in the March 2026 SA state election.

Odd though, that those elderly victims of the Support at Home scheme who are least likely to be able to afford the exorbitant service costs are the renters who don't have a home to sell.

Great description indeed! I remember the old "Dandy" ones well. If you were lucky enough to have a spoon handy then the cardboard flavor predominated. Otherwise, if you used the wooden spoon that came with it it the main flavor was the turpentine seeping out of the pine.

... and water-desalination.

No.

Can we try him in a hand-stand?

Unless you rely on direct messages or nsfw stuff just ignore it.

Whatever it is in the current environment it isn't left enough.
