![Senator Malarndirri McCarthy rightly called the BasicsCard "discriminatory and racist" when she condemned it during a senate debate in December 2020. She said:
"The hurt was palpable. The anger has never gone away. That sense of deep oppression, of racism, has gone on for 13 years since that Intervention, in the policy of the BasicsCard. [The community] are very passionate about the fact that income management that is forced upon them is unfair, is discriminatory and racist. The BasicsCard was imposed as an income management measure under the Northern Territory Intervention in 2007. Twelve years later there has been no evidence to show any success of the BasicsCard."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2452ncj5rptdxorbvjlrrkd2/bafkreihljm2de3j52zcdnbfhomcyohvaughsyesphenzmjjcgglsdt4zgy)

HEY EVERYONE - NEW REPORT!!!
NVIDIA is the largest company by market cap on the planet. But it hides key climate data, while claiming AI is going to be a 'net benefit' for climate.

The M5.2 in Nepal wasn't an earthquake. USGS relabeled it "M 5.2 Landslide," depth 0.0 km.
No quake trigger, no GLOF evidence, no rain reported below. A glacier snout appears to have failed on its own.
Ice in rock joints loses up to 78% of its strength warming from −10°C to −0.5°C. Still frozen.

People are turning down highly-paid jobs working on H Potter related productions. They are giving up six/seven-figure sums on principle, because the money raised will be used to harm trans people, including trans children.
Yet you can’t give up playing a game, watching a movie or buying a book...?

The problem with the NDIS - and there is a problem - is the same one Australia always faces. If you let small businesses exploit the public purse, they'll exploit it mercilessly (remember pink batts or any one of a 100 such programs). The key is in the system design, not the auditing of it.
