The new Support at Home Program for older people is introducing a ‘free market’ transactional aged care system. It’s a retrograde step

Is this further evidence that the current federal Labor government is the least Labor-like government in the history of Labor governments?

Bill Shorten tried to do some seriously amazing ALP things and the country told them to go to hell and voted ScoMo.

The ALP will never have the balls to try anything serious ever again.

Every action they take is designed with the number 1 priority being “it has to be a policy safe from fear mongering”.

Unfortunately for us that means nothing gets done. Nothing real anyway.

Bill's ideas were tepid, not even radical. We get the country the majority of voters wanted, a transactional shit hole of a place based around geeed and entitlement

I vote Green and am disgusted by the callous choices of my fellow citizens make..

Fuck me, why am i even here :(
