15 months into this genocide & people in #Gaza are still being starved! My dear friend, a former fixer for @abcnews & @SBSNews, and his family have not been able to find any bread for 5 days. They can’t take out any $ I send them. It’s freezing. Their tents been flooded & ripped

You wouldn't want to be a Woolworths shareholder in the lead up to Christmas when the shelves look like this. This is what happens when you give workers AI surveillance and impossible performance targets, instead of the dignity and respect they deserve. Solidarity from Ballarat!

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I hadn’t realised the Daily Telegraph cares so much about renters! I look forward to being on the front page when my landlord evicts me.
