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.

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

given scomo swore himself in as defense minister isnt this too soon to go into the defense industry?

i swear there was legislation passed to stop that, or is his retirement in feb because thats the soonest he could possibly start work legally?

It's meant to be 12 months but lmao if you think someone is monitoring former ministers' phone calls to make sure they aren't doing deals.

E: it's also some poo poo like companies you dealt with while a member, so you just sign up someone that couldn't get a word in with you and away you all go

Labor should never have supported it in the first place, and absolutely never should have promised to leave it alone.

This entire saga is a completely unforced error on their part and if they'd showed a spine earlier they wouldn't be in the mess. The libs are right here, the ALP did say they wouldn't gently caress with it and now they probably are. The ALP deserve every bit of poo poo they are about to eat for this.

I think it will be fine. Not enough people are going to care about people on $200k and the vast majority are getting more money now.

They're not winning the next election anyway so they might as well try something on.

Having some social intelligence in a team sport might help tho.

It doesn't matter when you're so much better at the game than anyone else that your team is just mandatory numbers on a sheet of paper to make your brilliance rules compliant. Players cracked the shits that Bradman wielded incredible powers as a captain and they went 34-0 in his last tour despite the less important cogs trying to throw matches.

Not making a value judgement that there aren't enough books with only white able bodied characters.

E: I googled kids books and clicked on Dymocks. It's all classics and books with white people and a dog or doing magic. There are ten human characters on covers and one is brown. One is Taylor Swift.
