Happy New Financial Year!

Australian's all let us rejoice If you earn over 80k a year this year, 120k next, and 200k thereafter
for we are young and free You'd better hope it's free with the penalty rate cuts and HECS repayment threshold lowered
with golden soil and wealth for toil In the gig economy wealth for lifters only so you'll be sleeping on that golden soil
our land is girt by sea gently caress Off, We're Full

Our land abounds in natures gifts Uranium, iron ore, natural gas, coal
of beauty rich and rare No jokes here, it's seriously loving rare because we won't see a dime from any of it
In history's page let every stage Book burnings will commence at noon under the Bunnings Snag Stand
Advance Australia Fair No Fat Chicks

Australian Super was one. I found sign up very easy, they have an Android app that tells you when your employer drops some cash in your account and other stuff, they have an ethical investment plan, they let you opt out of some insurance and do the white collar fee reduction application at sign up rather than hiding it. All good things.

Insurance on super typically defaults you to a higher risk "blue collar" insurance fee rate and buries the "you can lower your monthly fees by filling out a low risk worker form" info. Because they're copping recruitment cashbacks.

I am going to be $500 out of pocket Friday because Centrelink hasn't ticked a box against our activity changes in a fortnight, even though I did all the initial application process two months ago and it was approved so I'm all on board the new system, and they expect people to be updating their activity circumstances on the fly from now until forever because you can't future-date your activity changes- only back date them.

I want to put a bottle rocket up Christian Porter's anus, bend him over so he's mouthing Birmingham's anus, and so forth through cabinet MPs in an obvious IP infringement of the human centipede but I'm going to claim fair use as satire.

There's also the typical bias of facial recognition software to the race of the people developing it, so even if they have ID minorities (indigenous) are going to be even more disadvantaged when the software can't see their face and a human operator intervention is required which, as per the CCS activity testing, will take loving weeks.

Just because they have to do the ultrasound I don't think the law is specific about showing it. I suppose most people would feel a curiousity but if you just think it's part of the clinical process (working out where to jab the vacuum) you might not notice.

Edit: by which I mean to say it shouldn't be required but it's not as depressing practice as it may seem

Maybe they're pushing the Shorten:Albo narrative because it deflects the attention from the trash fire that is their political performance and general humanity (see: Dutton's comments on a murder victim who isn't in even cold. although given his portfolio I'm not sure what more could be expected)

I should probably opt out of the health record thing but I'm pretty sure I can never get health insurance again anyway and the idea of a shitbag insurer glancing at my file and filling their trousers in horror is funny to me.

Opt out. There's room to expand it to robo debt:

We inadvertently created a record and although now it's cancelled it will remain on file "archive" - so who knows what access is possible to the personal information and possible identity theft - for up to 130 years. Consider the technological advances since 1890. What do you think they might be capable of extrapolating with your archived data in 100 years?

I know I've got some able-minded privilege here but wouldn't the doctor asking the patient if they've had any xrays recently also cover that risk? I know there's clinical differences the patient may not be clear on but if you start with body part and work your way down "which doctor/practice ordered them?" to "send us copies".

I know the unconscious patient in the emergency room is the one they're spruiking but if I'm in the emergency room I suspect xrays I had done a week ago might not be the most up-to-date coverage on my situation.

I am reminded of an anecdote from media studies about the propaganda in the papers promoting conscription in the lead up to the conscription referendum, which was ultimately lost because people (rightfully) thought about their own families. The liberal party hosed up by pushing too many changes that have invoked those priorities again.

That old lady on the news talking about her granddaughter getting turbo hosed by penalty rates changes is a good example.

It's also a vote right on the heels of the new childcare system which hosed over so many people in the implementation, and the bonus side effect of souring liberal voters who were crying poor about the means testing. Oh, and the HECS changes. And the low-middle income offset that's disproportionate in favor of upper middle. And everything else.
