Two days after a senior Reserve Bank official foreshadowed the potential for another interest rate hike in under two weeks’ time, the treasurer in a speech on Friday morning will say “higher inflation is putting people under pressure, tighter monetary policy is weighing on domestic activity, and we can see that in the softening of the labour market”.

I'm curious about the intersection between this and NDIS and wondering whether being disabled and having disability supports ripped away(because of the insane cuts happening now) makes someone even more at risk than just regular poor welfare people?

Yes, 20% of suicide deaths are people on JobSeeker. Yes, 60% of working age adults who die are on a Centrelink payment. So what did Tanya Plibersek do in Anti-Poverty Week? Give $5 million to charities. FULL STATEMENT:

apcentre.substack.comPlibersek’s charity funding in Anti-Poverty Week is an insult to poor peopleThe government has announced $5 million in charity funding while welfare recipients make up more than a third of suicide deaths, and are up to 10x more likely to die than people not on income support.

Hey @antipovertycentre.org, Just wanted to say thanks for the email. Have been in the throws of fighting the outright lying NDIA and haven't been focusing on welfare as much so an email that gets straight to the point and informs is so helpful for easily keeping myself informed ❤️

We've now had essentially the same sorts of scandals in homecare, family day care, employment services, NDIS, veterans, residential aged care and ECEC. (I'm sure I've missed some in that list.)

@taletwisted.bsky.social

Today I received an invitation to an #AI Gaming Conference promising to show devs how to go from prototype to #Steam launch in three months. As the #solodeveloper of a #handdrawn, frame-by-frame animated 90s-style #pointandclick adventure, I had some thoughts. So I replied.

Any astrophotographers out there? I'm looking for images of people looking at the sky without telescopes. If you can share shots of meteor watching in deckchairs, or anything of you hanging out under the stars that would be fab. 🔭

hey @asherwolf.bsky.social you might be interested to know and stow up your sleeve that Charles Sturt University's (CSU) school of computing and mathematics is emailing graduates and including all their emails in the TO field and in the clear to read. At least 1 person already replied back about it.

In econ news, the ABS today says there is no planning for a new "Household Expenditure Survey". This survey breaks down spending by household types - incomes, wealth, age etc. Vital for determining how price changes affect people. Meant to be every 5 years. The last was in 2015-16.
