the unions could also join this campaign to stop prison guards from shackling women during childbirth. If prison guards wanted to refuse, they could make some noise. Same with strip searching. And solitary confinement of children. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

An inaccessible employment services system shouldn't cost someone their income. At least 396,000 people with disability are exposed to renewed payment penalties. WWDA joins other disability organisations calling for these penalties to be withdrawn. Read our joint statement: buff.ly/lHF9Jik

Sounds like they should only be available by prescription. Would end worries about perverts using them. Not great for Meta’s profits so you won’t see that being suggested.

We keep telling the government - we don't want automated robo-debt, or data centres everywhere, or aged-care assessment by algorithm, or non-professional NDIS decisions. Employ real people. Pay real wages. Fix hospitals & schools. Tax the squillionaires & giant companies. Can't be any clearer.

Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

Reminded today that my life was once saved by a casual acquaintance in Croydon back in 1977 who told the Magda Szubanski lookalike girlfriend of a local skinhead Nugget who'd taken a fancy to me 😳 that I might look unimpressive but was the "best fighter" lol in Beaumaris & she'd be mad to take me on
