We are leaving some of our most vulnerable people at risk of serious abuse in poorly regulated sectors where it's simply too easy to take advantage of people to make a quick buck. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

The fact is that none of these sectors - whether it's early childhood education and care, disability services or aged care - should be set up to attract those more interested in dollar signs than in caring for people.

These cuts are aimed squarely at teachers, nurses and doctors and health professionals, first responders and frontline community workers. The government needs to step up and do everything it can to keep its workers safe from injury, not cut them off when they need support most.

He’s aspiring to entrench a class divide between property owners and permanent renters

This article goes a long way to explaining why NSW Labor had such a visceral and nasty response to us setting up our new parliamentary inquiry into foundational and disability supports. If they’d been open with us we could have worked together to ensure better outcomes for people with disability.

Instead, we’re starting the new year with so many in the disability community terrified at what the next 6 months will hold because they’ve been left entirely in the dark and can’t adequately advocate for something better without knowing where the true political sticking points are.

I wish the States would just come clean about these things. In NSW I see so many unexplained delays, decisions out of kilter with stated policy etc, that would make a whole lot more sense if they just admitted their hands are tied while negotiating with Fed Labor for more overall funding.
