One of the fucking Christmas Carols literally calls for Peace on Earth, and we legit have a fucking GENOCIDE going in IN THE PLACE YOUR FUCKING LORD AND SAVIOUR WAS BORN. but please, cry about that fact being brought to your attention DURING A FUCKING CAROL SHOW YOU THICK CUNTS!
I can't feel my fingers or toes.
It's now 2ยฐC in my house.
All doors and windows closed.
No heat. No hot water.
But I guess I should just grin and bear it.
Fuck you
@AlboMP
You could fix this.
But you're a fucking coward.
Trying to pick up a family member and canโt because thereโs a Free Palestine protest blocking the busiest intersection in Canada.
I have no more shits to give.
Gerry Harvey stole millions in JobKeeper, and used it to post exorbitant profits during the pandemic, and has refused to pay any of it back.
@AlboMP
could force Gerry and the other rorters to repay that stolen money but is oddly quiet.
I wonder why?
Australia is sufficiently wealthy to provide a decent living for all its people, but nowhere near wealthy enough to provide for a billionaires greed.

51 items in my basket.
I haven't changed my order substantially in over 3 years.
But the price has steadily risen from $260 to now close to $300.
But do tell me again that raising JobSeeker is not a good idea, while corporations PRICE US OUT OF FOOD YOU CUNTS!
So suspend them all.
ALL OF THEM! NATIONWIDE!
AND PERFORM AN INQUIRY ABOUT THEIR ACTUAL EFFECTIVNESS. GUARANTEED YOU'LL FIND THEY ARE PURELY A GRIFT!
You're already on shaky ground Julian, this will go a LONG WAY to recouping your lost good will.
The Labor bigwigs are getting scared.
They see all the bad press, the justifiable rage, the questioning from their base, and they are terrified. That's why they are coming out and muddying the waters.
They are flailing. They weren't expecting us poor to have allies.
So let me get this straight
@billshortenmp
; greedy pricks like Gerry Harvey can rort millions in govt hand-outs they admit they didn't need, and face no consequences, but a starving family under constant stress forgets a zero once and gets hounded to death for it?
Fuck you.
I want
@AlboMP
to sit down and actually have a fucking discussion with the poor people of Australia as to why he seems to be so fucking keen on killing us.
Don't dismiss us, you un-Australian worm. Sit the fuck down and explain why you are intent on putting us in the dirt. Now.
It's going to get down to 4ยฐC tonight outdoors.
Inside my house however, it's more likely to get down to 1ยฐ possibly even 0ยฐ
This will continue downward through winter to -5ยฐC and maybe lower.
I have no heating.
But hey, Tasmania is getting a stadium!

Social housing, a ๐งต.
This is just one house, in a rural NSW town. Mine.
It used to be state housing owned, but was sold off to a social housing provider. In the several years they have had it, they have done almost nothing to make it habitable for modern tenants (1/?)
Grown adults poking rabid hatred at
@Leo_Puglisi6
and
@6NewsAU
all have one thing in common.
They are mad that these kids are smart & pointing out the stupidity of their own world views. They are mad they lacked the spine or smarts to do the same as kids themselves.
It's envy.
This is the week I potentially lose my income for the crime of being disabled with a debilitating mental illness that nobody cares to understand.
Keep me in your thoughts.
"Just get your doctor..."
"Just get your psychiatrist..."
You think I don't want to?
The last time I saw either of these was many years ago now. Because once agoraphobia became a symptom (let alone no more bulk billing), it got very fucking difficult to see a goddamn doctor.
I want an end to the privatised JSP/DES system.
Yes, for my own selfish reasons.
But also because it needs to end.
People are dying because these orgs have too much power and do very little overall to help their clients.
And govt allows this to happen.
It. Needs. To. Stop.
PM knows he's being a shitcunt and refuses to talk about it because he benefits from it at the expense of people whose backs he trod on to get into the big boy chair, and we're realising he doesn't fucking deserve it.
I am so fucking done with this DES shit.
I CANNOT LEAVE MY HOUSE OR USE A FUCKING PHONE, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO ANY OF THIS YOU FUCKING DENSE CUNTS?!
This is some unfair dogshit and I hate it. As if I wasn't fucking under enough goddamn stress.
Fuck
@octectraining
I do wish
@Coles
and
@woolworths
would make a goddamn effort to withhold back a percentage of stock for online orders. As a housebound person RELIANT on home delivery, being told "sorry, in-store customers are more important than you, out of stock online" is depressing.
Politics in Australia isn't about getting anything done for the people, it's about whinging for days and months about how the Greens won't let them do things like gamble on much needed housing, or let them get away with starving millions of people on welfare.
There is no such thing as "mutual" obligations in this country.
There is only "Do as we tell you poor person, & if we fuck up, it's still your fault."
I will not be paid. Again. Because THEY fucked up, THEY fucked me over, and *I* get to suffer as a result.
Burn.
It all.
DOWN!
The biggest single policy Australia has, that crosses all partisanship, and has never once been modified or challenged is this:
Paternalism
If you are a community affected by a portfolio, 9/10 you are not on the board that recommends policy. Ever.
That shit needs to change.
OMFG she's an actual superhero.
So, support worker spoke to the DES and actually managed to get my payment unsuspended...for a month.
However, in the interim, she's also going to be working with me to get my situation sorted with doctors etc to get some actual documentation.
The thing that is important to note is that
@deemadigan
doesn't actually care about the worker that got stabbed. Nobody leading the witch-hunt for Phoebe does. No, they did this because Phoebe dared point out that power imbalances exist, and that the PM enables these imbalances.
Hi Ray
I'm a mute housebound person living in rural NSW. I cannot leave the house, and can't get out of bed sometimes. I also have no license, nor mode of transport.
Would you hire me? No?
THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Hey
@AlboMP
Maybe if you stopped being a simpering cowardly cunt, and DID YOUR FUCKING JOB FOR THE POOREST OF THIS FUCKING COUNTRY, PEOPLE WOULDN'T HIJACK YOUR PITHY POSTS TO SCREAM AT YOU ABOUT HOW THEY ARE FUCKING DYING BECAUSE OF YOU!
SOOKY CUNT!
So the cop who murdered Clare Rowland is apparently only facing a manslaughter charge?
HAHAHAHAHAHA as if that fucking cunt will ever see a single charge that makes s difference.
IT WAS FUCKING MURDER! A TASER ON A 95 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH DEMENTIA IS **FUCKING MURDER!!!**
See how this is red?
This means this fucker is unsafe for trans folks.
And if you actually read his profile, he is fomenting antisemitism.
He's also on the list of RW fuckwits getting reach because they post about Israel's crimes.
STOP! GIVING! HIM! REACH!
This is incredibly cunning shit.
This is such a massive fucking punch to the face for everyone not in the targeted bracket.
This is a one term government.
You were fucking warned
@AlboMP
&
@JEChalmers
.
Now you'll pay the price.
7NEWS can exclusively reveal the biggest change to the dole in years, with older jobseekers to receive higher welfare payments than their younger counterparts.
#7NEWS
The house used to have hanging windows. These were replaced with SINGLE GLAZE sliding windows. Why is single glaze in caps? BECAUSE THIS TOWN DIPS AS LOW AS -5 C IN WINTER! Summer temps have been as high as 41C. (2/?)
ADDENDUM: Many of these issues should have been fixed when the building was State Housing, so the private provider is not wholly to blamed. But the govt spruiks social housing as the "future of housing". Well the future looks fucking bleak from here.
This is what "social/affordable housing" means to
@JulieCollinsMP
and the rest of the Federal and State Govts. Foisting off buildings to orgs that have no intention of keeping them livable. (8/?)
I am so appreciative of peoples assistance and reaching out btw. I am very anxious and snappy and I need you to know it's not personal. I'm just so tired of fighting this fight over and over and getting constantly ignored. I can't do it anymore.
Usually the ones screaming about UBI's and "handouts" are in receipt of generous tax cuts and rebates, which are handouts too, they just benefit them which is totally okay.
Reminder that when someone says โUBI is just a government handout,โ they arenโt really opposed to โhandouts;โ theyโre just opposed to handouts going to *those* people.
"Jam factory can't afford to pay adults living wage, so exploits child labour instead of folding like it fucking should."
IF YOU CANNOT PAY LIVABLE WAGES TO ADULTS YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE IN BUSINESS YOU CLOWNS!
@abcnews
You cannot be serious with this tripe.
We deserve homes that a not effectively shacks. This house is disability unfriendly, poverty unfriendly, would kill any tenant unable to cope with temp extremes (I barely can, I can't imagine an elderly tenant making it through a winter here now) & is substandard. (12/?)
So all these fucking sycophants who are wondering why people like
@LilahRPGtt
and Greens MP's are fighting for more public housing, this is at least one reason why. (10/?)
These older buildings are not fit for purpose anymore, and will kill tenants if they are not brought to modern standards. These providers must be FORCED to bring these buildings up-to-date. The fact is, they are govt funded slumlords at this point. FIX IT
@JulieCollinsMP
! (11/?)
These are houses destined to be demolished, leaving current tenants like me out of a home. Public housing is being are sold off to private orgs, who slug us poverty level tenants extra money for substandard buildings, because the govt doesn't want to pay for them anymore (9/?)
Doctor's themselves have been told directly by Centrelink officers that medical certificates are a legal formality, but that Centrelink are the final arbiters of whether a person is or is not well enough.
The system is built on sadism.
A lot of people don't realise that centrelink for various reasons can override a doctors medical certificate. Even though they have no medical training. They do this often. So on top of being sick you've got to engage
We can and should do better. Period. We have the resources, we just are choosing to funnel them to the rich instead of where they are needed most.
It has to stop. Because as winter approaches again, I'm scared I'm going to end up losing everything to the bitter cold.
@SenatorWong
"Pay no attention at all to our blatant disregard for the HUMAN RIGHTS OF PALESTINIANS. We here in the Australian Government don't believe Palestinians are human at all, just as our masters in Israel tell us."
Fucking hell.
DES can only postpone one more week.
After that, I am fucked.
My support worker only works Mondays & Tuesdays.
I don't get paid again until next week AFTER the cut off date.
THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT
Labor rusties and bootlickers spent the better part of a decade decrying LNP austerity, bullying, wealthy first and pro-bigotry policy.
The minute Labor get in and start doing all the same things, suddenly that's all okay now? Really?
It was never about policy, was it?
Not mentioned: these cars were destroyed by the ISRAELI APACHE HELICOPTERS THAT INDISCRIMINATELY FIRED ON EVERYONE.
Keep flailing Zionists, your losing and we all know it.
They parked their car for a fun weekend like we all do when we go to a music festival and they ran to their cars to escape a death cult. This is not a museum display like you see in the Holocaust museums. It is an active display. It is a site that is active. These cars are here
@abcnews
You mean the list that was made up of people who were part of a masive push to doxx and harass pro-Palestinian people?
Oh no, the consequences of their actions.
No reverse cycle air conditioning, or any AC at all. Heating is gas, but only bottled, which is expensive. Ventilation is minimal throughout, summer humidity often breeds mould. (3/?)
This.
I'd go so far as to say that it's even simpler than that.
They ask: "How much do you think you should be paid"
We respond: "A living wage consummate the role"
They reply: "Thank you, have a nice day."
They want slaves. They want people willing to work for fuck all.
@SistaRuthDOPD
@SenatorHume
Jobseekers can't just go out and get a job. Why, I see you ask. It's because employers decide who gets a job. When employers say I can't get staff, what they are really saying is I can't get staff that fit with my staff model.
What you've done
@Tony_Burke
is outright admit to all of us what we've been saying for years.
"the cruelty is the point"
You just admitted that.
And instead of protecting us from this cruelty, you opted to protect the ones inflicting it on us.
You are reprehensible.
Fuck you

"Tonight I'll be gaslighting the whole country about all the crap I'm not actually doing because I have no spine & my only concern is holding on to power instead of making this country better for the millions in poverty, & dealing with the housing crisis. My mum was poor too!"
A reminder that
@salvos
profiteers off your generosity.
It abandons and abuses LGBTQIA+ people.
It exploits labour from people on JobSeeker via Work For The Dole.
It refuses goods that aren't immaculate.
Do not support this garbage fucking "charity".
Give directly to the poor.
So why do we bother having elections if the two major parties are just the same fucking party?
Because pissing your pants at the idea of doing anything even SLIGHTLY progressive because the LNP might not like it just means you're the LNP in all but name.
Stop being deadshits.
had a meeting with Julian Hill. I asked why he recommended keeping Work for the Dole. he said it's because he doesn't want to have a "culture war" with the Liberals over it. in case you need more insight into how welfare policy works in this country
@dokibird
Suffering from success, eh Doki?
Time to hire that PA/social manager. Mr Man can't do everything (even if he says he can).
But know everyone is super proud of you. For what that's worth to you.
I really dislike this kind of rhetoric, because it plays right into their hands.
It means that *any* raise, even a miniscule one that effectively does nothing, will be seen as "job's done" and the usual speccy twats will cheer as us poor continue to starve.
It's not good enough
Reckon Labor will eventually do the right thing and raise unemployment benefits. Just by a little, but something. Issue is threatening to derail their budget narrative, which needs to be about addressing cost of living
Lot of deadshit drips putting in an awful lot of effort to discredit the very real poverty as policy that the ALP is shoving through.
Mayhaps the criticism is on point and they are doing their absolute best to stop the centre from realising they are being played by the ALP right
my god, it's like every so called "activist" who is tangentially linked to anti-poverty because "I say I am" is just content to sit back and smile while millions of us fold up and cry, because the government just told us "fuck you, next time be a submarine"
Callous, hollow cunts
I spent 6 months homeless.
It was horrific and one of the worst times of my life. And I had support!
It's not a "choice" people make lightly to be homeless. And you can be damn fucking sure that these people saying "it'll be fine" are talking out of their privileged puckers.
When ppl say things like โoh I think Iโd be ok without a home for a while,โ as if they can think their way out of the trauma of homelessness: average age of death for homeless people in Australia is 45.2 years (men) and 40.1 years (women)

@ArtistAffame
First one is a fucking cold calling scam, and you know it.
Second one requires a certification.
Try again, or shut the fuck up, shitstain.
We're in, and have been for some time now, a period in which satirical journalism has crossed from being satire to just reporting facts.
Because let's be honest, isn't this exactly what Israel is doing?
We have one Party pretending to be two.
They vote together, they prop each other up, and when push comes to shove, the Red gives up to the Blue every time.
Welcome to Australia, where the voice of the people doesn't count.
So we have a party that no longer dog whistles but screams racism and division from the rooftops, and we have another party who are cowards hiding behind carefully chosen words that mean nothing every time.
Shit is fucked.
Minority Govt pls.
Well, today has just gone down the fucking shitter.
Thanks to the heat and humidity, I just lost TWO FUCKING LOAVES OF BREAD TO MOLD! TWO SEVEN FUCKING DOLLAR LOAVES OF BREAD GONE BECAUSE THIS HOUSE DOES NOT HAVE AIR CON!
Fucking brilliant.
Watch carefully the backflips and contortions rusties and drips will make.
They will lie their arses off to somehow make this a kept promise.
DO. NOT. LET . THEM.
This government is done. They have 2 more years and then they are out.
Cis Men who are transphobic aren't mad about trans-women in sport, or in gendered bathrooms, or any of the other already debunked ideas they regurgitate. No, these men are mad that they find trans-women sexy, and are terrified of it being "gay"
Charity is a failure of government.
Any charity worth their salt doesn't want to exist. Any that does, is not a charity but a fucking grift.
Try actually funding social programs instead of fucking millionaires and submarines, you goddamn sociopaths.
No weasel words about the debt, that shit went out the fucking window when you signed AUKUS and S3. No, sit down, loosen your fucking tie, and say it to our faces. Why do you want us dead?
@AlboMP
you are killing us. Why? ANSWER LIKE A FUCKING MAN!
Internally, all doors are the original small handles. These should be replaced to lever handles ASAP but the provider chooses not to. The rear stairs are the concrete slap and steel frame type, a serious hazard on its own but the tree growing underneath adds to it. (4/?)
And if you choose not to hire people and instead rely on the slavery of Work for the Dole in order to prop up your failing business/organisation, then you should have all your buildings burned to the fucking ground you selfish ghouls.
I've said it multiple times, and I'll say it again.
If you cannot pay your employees a living wage for what they do, you DO NOT DESERVE TO CONTINUE AS A BUSINESS. PERIOD!
You deserve to fail. End of story.
And before the inevitable drooling smoothbrain rusties dribble out some garbage like "it was the liberal party hurgleblurgle" Labor is in charge now and can result l very simply say "pay it back or face charges" and they just aren't.
Shut up and keep throating that jackboot.
Every day it becomes clear that rusteds and drips exist purely by the mantra of "fuck you, got mine"
Because anytime us poor dare to think that maybe the cunt in power could actually do his fucking job, they make excuses for why he won't. Because they don't have to worry.
The wiring in the house has not been touched since it was built in the 70's. Half of the circuits don't work & were poorly planned. The kitchen & main bedroom are on one circuit (with 2 of the lights on the other) while the rest of the house (and 6 other lights) on the 2nd (6/?)
The newest piece of wiring in the house is the NBN box. The telephone socket is still the old 3 prong plastic one, and there is still an analogue TV antenna socket (no antenna though). There's a fucking kerosene heater and tank still fitted (but disconnected). (7/?)
No pundit, the ALP haven't slowly become right wing, they've been that way for about 30 years now. You just didn't notice because you weren't affected until now.
Rebecca's not alone.
And tonight, the Labor Party threw her and hundreds of thousands like her under the bus.
And she works.
You could be next.
So maybe, just maybe, try thinking about that before you clap your hands like a drunk seal about tonight's budget.
On budget night what's changed for me?
That last tiny lingering hope I had of a future that doesn't look like a never-ending fight is gone now.
There's nothing left, only "crippling rheumatoid arthritis" and crippling medical costs in the void of no support.
Nobody left behind
Every single policy decision by you
@AlboMP
or your cabinet puts the screws to those of us least able to fucking take it. AND YOU SHOW NO FUCKING REMORSE! WHY? Cut the shit, face the fucking camera, and answer the goddamn question. Why. Are you. Killing us?
Keep an eye on the rest of Labor right now. Because the stupid shit pulled by
@JulianHillMP
could be a smokescreen to divert attention away from something else.
Do not trust them not to stoop to such practice, we're talking about a party that lies as easily as it breathes.
I didn't fucking vote for you.
I voted for fairness, equity, and a return to an Australia that was progressive and on the side of the poorest.
Instead, we got you. Unfair, inequitable, regressive, and on the side of the wealthy.
Fuck you.
