Spent hours on Sunday afternoon on the MyGov / Centrelink websites.
The fuckage of users is considerable.
Either deliberately designed to induce despair and hopelessness or there is no effective supervision & user-experience auditing happening.
It looks to be part of the punishing of benefit recipients.
And will be triggering domestic violence, child abuse, suicides, mental health problems, road rage & homelessness.
#SocialCohesion, nah.

Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance
"In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."
She delivered a powerful speech last November:
"Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,
'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,
your celebrations are colourful, and
your music is present to the ears.’"
"But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>

Australian billionaires increased their wealth by almost $600,000 a day on average over last year, report shows
* "... The wealth of billionaires globally was “growing at an unprecedented speed, three times faster than we’ve seen it grow in the past”. What we’re seeing is tax systems that work for the wealthy and tax systems that are not working to actually fill the government coffers with money that could provide support for things like housing, or childcare support."
"The report said while the number of billionaires is growing, more than 3.7 million people live in poverty in Australia, including 757,000 children under 15 years of age One in three households experienced food insecurity last year, meaning they stressed about or struggled to put food on the table."

No surprise that evil #police are using social media and #cellphone apps to hunt dissidents. And those #covid19 trackers, a good faith project afaik, in the Western democracies are an obvious #securitybreach P.O.I.N.T. being: -- -- maybe, just maybe we can build a bridge of #reconciliation with the #rightwing wingnut space cadets if we acknowledge that their overblown paranoia about the so-called "deep state" is not lacking a kernel of truth.
