Whooping cough in 2024 was huge in Australia, but is declining in 2025 and 2026 The risks of declining childhood vaccination include a resurgence of dangerous infectious diseases driven by airborne pathogens such as Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough (also called pertussis). A recent local news article highlights this and touches on the infection pause as a reason for a 2024 epidemic.

Centrelink recipients who had Robodebts have just weeks to sign up to receive part of a massive payout. The federal government last year agreed to pay $475 million in additional compensation to about 450,000 victims of the calamitous robodebt scandal au.finance.yahoo.com/news/centrel...

Over a month ago I warned people didn’t realise they needed to sign up to receive compensation over Robodebt. So many people will miss out and their anger will point straight back at the government and the system bsky.app/profile/ashe...
