I'm almost 10 years #SmokeFree thanks to vaping. It absolutely saved my life. My doctor said there's no longer any evidence that I ever did smoke cigarettes. #Vaping was the only thing that worked for me. Nothing else helped for even 24 hours. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

This is unacceptable @elonmusk - people are being put in danger because they can’t access our critical severe weather information. You are going to get people killed.

My area is under a tornado warning, and thanks to @elonmusk I can’t see what @IWeatherON is saying about the track

Banning nonprescription vapes will swell an unregulated illicit market that past restrictions created, or send ppl back to cigarettes that remain on shelves, advocates @ColinMendelsohn @skipmurray @imaracingmom @Clive_Bates @GlobalStateTHR tell @badlin: filtermag.org/australia-vape…

I wish I could post a YouTube video to outline all my evidence in detail, but 'Business Casual' deliberately did 3 copyright strikes in quick succession against me so I wouldn't be able to post anything on YouTube about this (which is where almost all my audience is). 🧵thread

A YouTuber called Business Casual (Alex Edson) has filed 3 copyright strikes against my channel, claiming I have used a couple of SECONDS of similar footage. These 3 strikes mean I received an email from YouTube saying in a few days my channel is going to be deleted. 🧵 Thread

.@AmyRemeikis says it’s seems there’s a bottomless pit when it comes to defence “but we’re saying to people on income support, we can’t do anything for you now because it’s inflationary.” “You have to wonder, when do we get a govt. with the political courage to do what’s needed?”

Ok people from across the world - time to chime in.. When the AU Government introduced the Prescription model we warned them that it would fail, did they listen NO! We have been asking for a regulated industry for many years but the problem is they never listened.

What is being done to ensure that e-cigarettes and vaping products are not being marketed as safe alternatives to smoking, particularly to young people? #QandA

The stage 3 tax cuts for the wealthy cost $254,000,000,000. Can’t afford to raise jobseeker but can afford tax cuts for the rich. Make it make sense.

lol their definition of "substantial" doesn't even come close to what people actually living in poverty know is needed to be *adequate* the committee couldn't even bring itself to recommend something so obvious and necessary as a sophisticated poverty measure.

Oh gosh, what ridiculous GP bashing. If you come to my hospital to see me as a specialist, you’ll pay $40 just to park in the hospital car park. In economic terms alone, GPs are the heroes/heroines of our health system.

It's been revealed only one-third of GPs offer bulk billing for new patients, meaning more of us are forking out an average of $40 dollars out-of-pocket for a 15 minute consultation. Start with Sunrise | weekdays from 5:30am on @Channel7 and streaming live on @7plus.

THIS!!! THIS!!! This for the rustedons who keep bleating “just give them time”. ARGHHHHH!!! It CAN be done. It HAS been done. And this Labor gov under Albo DOESN’T WANT TO. They literally give no shits for the poor. None. It’s beyond obvious now.

Raising the rate of income support above the poverty line should be uncontroversial. People receiving payments have called for it. Social services orgs have called for it. The Greens have called for it and now the government’s own panel of experts are calling for it.

Ignoring this advice entrenches inequality & leaves people in our communities behind, including the 1 in 6 children growing up in poverty. As a wealthy country we can ensure people aren't having to choose between medicine & food so they can get back on their feet & contribute.

Appalling. so cruel. so fucked up. if not now, when? how much longer will the Albanese government keep people living in poverty? Absolutely indefensible. Poverty is a political choice. I don’t want to hear @AlboMP talk about his log cabin story anymore. raise the damn rate now!

Before I got this disease, the prospect of death terrified me. And up until recently it still did. But in the last couple days I've started to feel resigned to dying young. Of course I don't want to die, but I am in tune with my body enough to know when sth is terribly wrong.
