Julian Assange is a hero. He told the truth about the US's war crimes. War criminals like Obama, Bush, and Clinton should be in prison, not Julian Assange.

Good luck!
Senate now debating my Greens bill to stop political donations from big corporations like fossil fuels, gambling and to cap donations from everyone else to $1K/yr. Democracy should not be for sale! It’s long past time to get the influence of big money out of politics #auspol

A fool nonchalantly finding themselves in the berth of a bully is not heroic. Narcissism blinds your compass #LNPfail #LNPCorruptionParty #AusPol2022
Australia’s former Prime Minister Scott Morrison has listed his achievements in government including standing up to a “bullying" China seriously 🤣

Minuscule in that corruption in politics is ubiquitous. Landmark in the catching of a very sneaky and unpopular fish being caught. #auspol #ScoMo #ScottyFromMarketing

I don’t believe this tendency to have syringes in your name will age well
Replying to @Antidan3 @BrettEcho
His name is on what he says. You can challenge it. But unsubstantiated slurs from anonymous cowards just roll on ...
I’d like to cement my chances of reading completely non-biased media i the ultra-marginal confines of my bedroom #MurdochGutterMedia #MurdochRoyalCommission
John Pesutto has claimed victory in the ultra-marginal seat of Hawthorn, cementing his chances of taking over leadership of the Liberals > bit.ly/3Uoodz3
Good!

I think it’s the lack of critique that brought back Dan. His handling of the pandemic was later uninformed and seemingly unable to pivot in light of new information. And he spends with house money #DanSlide
Daniel Andrews defies the media critics, securing a third term as Victorian Premier.
There’s such a fine balance between letting people recover at their own pace but also challenging them to push past their comfort zone. If I’d have been completely left to do things in my own time I’d never have made progress, but also if I was pushed too hard I’d have disengaged

A hypothesis: as more people start to see mental disorders as coherent responses to life experiences, rather than brain dysfunctions, that’s going to have a destabilizing effect on psychiatry. I might be wrong about that. Time will tell.

Clinical stigma starts in University #Mentalhealth #mentalawareness
Remembering that time one of the lecturers when I was student nurse told my entire cohort that bipolar disorder is ‘the cancer of mental illness’ three months after I got my diagnosis 🙃

China-bashing is in full cry. China's covid zero tolerance has problems, but the truth is it has saved an enormous number of lives. In China 5,233 have died from Covid. In the US, 1,104,836 have died. In Britain, the govt sent thousands of elderly to their deaths. Whose freedom?

OPINION: Daniel Andrews will earn himself a bronze statue when he serves 3000 days in office, but they belong to world champs not political chumps. heraldsun.com.au/news/opinio…
People saying the election was rigged. You’re doing your beliefs no favor. #VicVotes2022 #Mulgrave #AusPol2022
The polls close in half an hour . My tip . Labor 48 seats. A reduced but clear majority. Brutal truth is since 2018 Vic has had very poor unaccountable govt and totally inept opposition. My hope tonight we end up with better opposition at least then we have hope of better govt .

It’s a good point. You reject the referral? How dare you. What gives you the right, if you haven’t even consulted them-see them then tell I was incorrect-perhaps enter into a peer to peer conversation.

I can account to this #Mentalhealth
A common scenario in NHS primary care: A patient with a mental health problem is too complex or unwell to be managed in the community. But when they are referred to a specialist mental health team, they “don’t meet the criteria for the service” leaving them unsupported.

16% increase. Well to be fair they were unprecedented times but some will politicize the distress of others.
3,256,695 people used NHS secondary mental health, learning disabilities and autism services during 2021-22, compared with 2,803,244 the previous year. This is an increase of 16.2% (NHS Digital). nursingtimes.net/news/mental…
