An advocacy service over the phone for people living with opioid dependence.

There’s not much I can do but share resources and hope it helps someone.

Edit: The rules are changing for permanent residents - see article.

Temporary residents are allowed to keep using their overseas license.

What the actual fuck is happening

So like universities and scientific organisations have to fall in line with whatever odd ideas this guy thinks up to go after, or they lose the funding for research?

I really don’t like this direction. This is an unreasonable amount of control and a dangerous precedence to set

In America there’s a few programs that donate hunted meat to the disadvantaged. Usually called Hunt for the Hungry or Hunters for the Hungry etc.

Seems Australia is thinking along those lines too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/12/deer-meat-for-homeless-shooters-fishers-and-farmers-party-mp-hunters-hungry

I really don’t care if they don’t stock it… I don’t buy any of that tat and don’t celebrate Australia Day beyond just appreciating a day off.

If they want to do more they could make food and basics more affordable but they won’t

Go all in at all times. We’re not here to fuck spiders.

These are the people trying to legislate healthcare…

Stupid. The link to breast cancer is spurious but the risks involved in covert self induced terminations (which will increase in the event of criminalisation) are well known.

Fuck Colesworth. Having a disability and requiring both generic brands and delivery makes it hard to have other options… but don’t think I haven’t noticed the gouging, or how toothless the recent trust busting measures were.

There were even those temporary structures/tents outside of hospitals in Australia. Saw them locally, none of the behaviours changed though.

I really really hope that this virus doesn't also jump to humans and force us to deal with strollouts and noncompliant people again...

I really don't want to do this again

That's how corporations nickel and dime you. I resist subscription services almost completely (I pay for cloud backup storage for my phone in case of breakage/theft and that's it) because as well as being a constant financial drain they inevitably degrade and enshittify, often even removing things you paid for

I don't know what to say other than that I agree with you. Dominant retailers (especially supermarkets) were and are profiteering during a crisis and these 'prices drops' of cents are merely a sop.

At this point a fair few people can't even afford some of those goods

I saw that they weren't going to go ahead last year, but now apparently there will be a pilot.

Which is probably made in China

Yeah, when people are struggling to afford food this is the big issue to focus on. /s

This is a day old. But if you see this, are in NSW and have those specific pies check the date on them
