Just 6% of NDIS service providers are registered...."NDIA needed to urgently correct the NDIS price formula to shift incentives away from the 94% of providers to stabilise the registered not-for-profits who are doing the majority of the more complex NDIS work for participants who need it.”
Not-for-profit disability services are closing due to untenably low price caps, NDIS architect warns

First time I heard this, I was absolutely blown away. From an epic cover of Tomorrow Never Knows to Baby's On Fire, this is just a perfect live album.

“Hurwitz is caught in the pincer of that recognition on one side and her Zionism on the other. For her, the lesson of the Holocaust is: Never again to us. And it's darker than I can bear for someone who sat upon the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council to say these things.” 🥲

This is a phenomenal book and I’m so pleased it will be available in English!
Today marks the 50 year anniversary of the death of fascist dictator Francisco Franco. Fitting that today, after over a year of work, I finished translating @miquelramos.bsky.social book "Antifascists: Fighting the Spanish Far Right in the Post-Franco Era" for @pmpress.bsky.social.

Since everyone loves hearing someone brag about their kids, it is very funny hearing other parents' thinly veiled shock at learning my kids school testing scores are off the charts for reading... on a pure diet of comics!

It's almost like reading comics obsessively... is still reading!

"If fascism is popular we will implement it" is such a blunt and perfect summary of liberalism delivered with absolute clarity
Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Australia is full of dodgy leaners making money off the backs of other people; whether it’s property or crypto or drop shipping or the disadvantaged. Prove me wrong. Australia has become an ugly place. #auspol

Every state apart from Tas is pulling their weight with hospital expenditure. The Feds not wanting to pay for the additional demand on hospitals that the FEDS CREATE from underfunding their primary health, NDIS and aged care system responsibilities is pathetic bullshit www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
'Beyond belief': PM tells states to spend less on hospitals
Health ministers are furious with a letter from the prime minister demanding they rein in spending if they want a public hospital funding deal honoured.

“a nightmare. America is a nightmare right now. The country is mentally ill. It needs help. There seem to be delusions of grandeur and self-loathing in equal measure. It gets grimmer every day. I’ve never seen such dysfunction in my life. It’s really embarrassing.”

Property investor flips home purchased for $700,000 three years ago, for $1,000,000.
Makes $300,000 capital gain, but only pays tax on $150,000 (50%).
That means investor pockets half the gain ($150,000) without paying $1 in tax on it.
You earn $150,000 pa…and you pay $43,567 in tax.
Fair?
