  • But, I don’t begrudge people the choice of sending their kid to a private school also getting their $x in government funding. They pay their taxes, they are entitled to the funding.

    No, they do not. If we want to make it about tax, those kids are dependents and whomever is claiming them is getting the tax rebates and revenue they are entitled to. Tying individual entitlement to education funding is nonsensical if you think about it for half a second, downright absurd if you think about it in the context of Australias profoundly prejudiced and unequal system.

    Never mind the notion that we're funding religious indoctrination camps with little to no oversight or accountability... go ask women at universities how they like dealing with the cloistered, Tate-farmed freaks produced by these indoctrination camps.

  • It's hilariously absurd that everyone is just fine with religious extremists attacking our democratic institutions like this. How would everyone feel about Isis establishing hostile espionage cells in Australia with a view to attacking journalists. Religious people are far too dangerous to be trusted with anything remotely important.

  • But the situation isnt getting any better, so what do we do here?

    maybe we look at addressing the systemic problems we face due to a legacy of slavery and colonialism? We've literally only tried the punitive approach; it's maybe time for Australia to get its fucking act together

  • i suffer from chronic pain and can't afford medications going forward. i'm not sure what I'll do tbh, as it's not really possible to live like this. There are a lot of medications not covered by the PBS, due to intense lobbying designed to maximize profit on older medications; for me it means using illegal opioids(risking arrest or overdose) or suicide. If I were able bodied I'd try to take a few of those LNP scumbags who did this with me.

    www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au Scott Morrison should resign

    The Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme has identified appalling dishonesty and lapses in government processes that had serious consequences for the innocent, and their families, who were hounded for non-payment of fictitious “debts”.

    Scott Morrison should resign
