Long-term health outcomes following hospitalisation for COVID-19: "COVID-19 hospitalised subjects were at increased risk of death or hospitalisation for various organ disorders up to 30 months after discharge, reflecting the multi-organ consequences of the disease." Source: archive.is/NgKfM

Global gas lobby tries to hamper Victoria's electrification efforts by stoking fear, researchers say www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Dutton says if he had done a dodgy deal, he wouldn’t have declared it. Dutton has again dismissed speculation of insider knowledge of the bank bailout during the GFC. Because he knows if you steal something never try & give it back, because you get caught out. Like he has been. #auspol

#Breaking Albo has announced a $25m solar for residents initiative to be fully-funded by the Commonwealth government, but rolled out with the NSW government. ‘This will provide co-funding to owners, corporations and Strata managers to install shared rooftop solar systems … A win-win situation.’

Good idea - how about it @markbutlermp.bsky.social

Where does Israel hold Palestinians detained from Gaza? More than 10,000 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank are held in Israeli jails, as well as thousands more from Gaza, says the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and other orgs. 🟥 Read more: aje.io/ar9mhj

Mother had carer’s allowance stopped while with disabled daughter in hospital www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

To many, smart-home devices seem like a luxury or a novelty, but for anyone who lives with a disability, smart devices are a powerful enabler. These simple-to-use devices can be set up to take care of daily tasks.

“I had no idea it was THIS bad!” We’ve all heard this from a friend or family member who becomes chronically ill. Despite watching us suffer for years, they never understand until it happens to them. Please listen to disabled people. It IS that bad. Protect your health. There’s no do overs.

I commend them, what great role models #leadership

The idea of a Gina Rinehart Govt in Australia — sorry, typo: a Dutton Coalition Govt — terrifies me. Perhaps their campaign slogan will be "What's yours is mine." 😏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #AussieOligarchy

They’re telling us they’ll be the same as Trump!! #auspol

Mr Dutton your shares are showing! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I fear of #COVID reinfection. I'm immunocompromised by multiple brain stem strokes (a status seemingly ignored by our Health Minister @markbutlermp.bsky.social), my husband is a #DisabilitySupportWorker - exposed each day. I wear n95 outside - without #publichealthaction #strokesurvivors are #atrisk

Hung parliament could see crossbench seek NACC reforms after backflip on robodebt decision www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The National Anti-Corruption Commission's (NACC) investigation into the robodebt scandal needs to be public and the six people at the centre of claims should be named, says @helenhainesindi.bsky.social www.wangarattachronicle.com.au/politics-and...

Peter Dutton’s nuclear accounting trick #3: Hide the costs of keeping coal #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/peter-dutton...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Very key point made here. Any "shortage" is due solely to exports. We don't need more gas, we need to send less to Japan which has so much it exports our gas to other countries! (also worth charging the companies to mine our gas and also to tax them properly) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

How can Dutton get it so wrong?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Israel has violated the ceasefire in Gaza 266 times since it came into effect on January 19, killing at least 132 people, Palestinian security sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dh48s1

Wonderful to join Senator Steele-John at Curtin Uni for O-Day - students want action on cost of living and climate, especially on a scorching day like today!

And imagine being such a narcissist that you don't get it

What is unrealistic about voting out the duopoly. Already 33% of voters didn’t vote for them in 2022. It is unrealistic to continue to support the duopoly that both support War crimes in Gaza & Zionist infiltration of our Govt, #AUKUS, #PRRT #Poverty at 13% of our population #auspol

Peter Dutton can’t explain how his nuclear scheme will work because he knows the plan isn’t thought through. The experts have told us: ⏰ It will take too long. 💰 It’ll cost $600 billion. ⬆️ It will push up bills. This scheme is too risky for Australia.

If Dutton were to explain how his nuclear plan works, *it wouldn't work*. As @adammorton.bsky.social lays out nicely here, Dutton has left out meaningful info for a nuclear strategy. Just enough of a mirage to sustain a noisy debate on something that won't happen (and he won't try to make happen)

Major positive step towards better protections for whistleblowers. The legislation I seconded last week has been referred to a Senate Inquiry. Make a submission here: www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

So many victims have predeceased Ridsdale. Thoughts, always, with their families, and those who still manage the trauma of what he did to them and the church’s catastrophic failure in creating more victims by allowing him to be moved to yet more parishes. www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victori...

@australianlabor.bsky.social should be ensuring that people of all religious backgrounds are protected. The focus on #antisemitism is not enough www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

And you're telling me that neither @australianlabor.bsky.social prime minister Albanese nor any other so-called "leader" has held a presser to condemn this Islamophobic graffiti and alleged attacks on Muslim women? 𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓𝘓𝘠? #auspol #FuckingHypocrites www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

Some incarcerated children are spending weeks alongside adults in a cell with a cold concrete bench, no natural light or fresh air and no privacy when using the bathroom au.news.yahoo.com/kids-being-k...

Don’t be afraid of Dutton, campaign to defeat him. Young men are attracted to Dutton’s bullshit. Speak with any young men you know, see if you can explain that they’ll be voting against the interests of their sisters and daughters and mothers if they vote Liberal. Sway one, he might sway another.

A weekslong Israeli military operation across several West Bank cities has displaced roughly 40,000 Palestinians from their homes, in what historians and researchers say is the biggest displacement of civilians in the territory since the Arab-Israeli war of 1967. nyti.ms/3QkUV4P

Climate denial is a helluva drug

Money talks

Say hi to the @alifrance.bsky.social crew - discussing real policies to improve our community e.g $500M on women’s health, free urgent care clinics, free TAFE, 20% off HECS debt, 3free days childcare & protecting your rights at work. Dutton can’t be PM if he loses Dickson #Vote1AliFrance #PutLNPlast

Labor have brought down inflation from 6% under Coalition to under 2.4%, allowing RBA to lower interest rates. Labor have done this while increasing employment, wages, cost of living relief. Quite remarkable. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

"If carbon capture is simply used to cling on to otherwise dirty technology then we are looking at a giant greenwashing scam, not a helpful solution."

Don’t get mugged by 🥔 on #nuclear. #auspol #AusVotes25

David Pocock to introduce legislation to end #fossilfuel exploration in Australia. “I lot of this comes down to moral courage and it is something I keep trying to remind my colleagues about,” he said. Courage in politics. What a concept. #Auspol #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange

Dutton, nasty as ever, wants to expel Australian citizens he doesn’t like. No. Once you’re a citizen, that’s it. There’s no second class, B-grade citizenship that can be withdrawn.

WTF #auspol - we ae #stitchedup

Really enjoyed being interviewed for this feature on misophonia and misophonia research in @asteriskmag.bsky.social! asteriskmag.com/issues/09/th...

Jacinta Price is a dangerous, unqualified ideologue & no amount of PR, like we’ve been hammered with this week, should distract Australians from just how damaging Price would be as Indigenous affairs minister. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
