You’d think “we’ll reverse the damage the Libs did to Medicare and bring back bulk billing” would be a pretty easy sell but what the gently caress do I know

yeah you would think but they committed to morrison's stage 3 tax cuts (a terrible idea for this reason among many others) and that means the amount of spending required to get bulk-billing working again is not really viable and they really really don't want to be seen to break a promise

I got bulk billed for a GP visit today. I was completely shocked.

The Greens should be yelling from the rooftops that they'll bring Bulk Billing back. But it's just being killed and no one seems to care anymore.


I booked in for a covid vac and it's going to take 3 weeks before I can get booked in for it.

I just checked the online vaxx clinic finder and found multiple locations within walking distance of my house with a whole lot of open slots available tomorrow, you should be able to find something better unless you live in the middle of the Nullarbor or something

Bulk billing still exists. "Bringing it back" just requires giving every doctor a new Rolex and Range Rover.

I walked into a chain chemist at lunch and was in and out in 5 minutes. Unless you have specific circumstances, just do this.

Err that's what I did.

To be fair the only other place on the list within 7km that lists an available date as...a weeks waiting list.Which is better than 3 weeks the chain pharmacy quoted for me.



Word on the street is that the ex-labor MP Albo has put in charge of investigating ColesWorth...previously worked as a consultant to Coles.

The report will be a complete waste of time and say there is a range of factors involved and it's very complicated and they can't find any evidence of deliberate price gouging.



The fix is in.

Where the hell do you live that is simultaneously populous enough to have a waiting list and yet not populous enough to have more chemist's near you?

Couple of things.

1/ According to Woolworths/Big W they aren't stocking them because they aren't selling. This is the company that put out hot crossed buns on boxing day. If it makes a buck it is their absolute determined position that they will sell it by as many bushells as possible. I could take solace in this as it apparently means the absolute worst brain dead sheep fuckers are less and less part of our populace. This brings me to 2/

2/ Woolies (et al) are about to be absolutely caned in an enquiry in to supermarket profit gouging https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2024-01-08/accc-supermarket-pricing-inquiry-calls-pricing-gouging-claims/103293344 wouldn't it be nice to have a huge smoke screen about irelevant poo poo pumping out all over the shop. The timing actually works better than it initially appears because the anti woke crowd will be in a lather about this and other Australia Day related bullshit for months to come. Lets see how that plays out.

I recall in previous threads a link to a strategic paper which noted one reason for the US alliance being protecting our trade from non-state actors (the other being protecting our trade with China from… China). anyway it will be interesting to see how this works in practice

my bet is that it won’t be as effective as just not supporting israel committing crimes against humanity
