Day ten⚕️🏥

#AnthonyAlbanese will on Tuesday pledge $500m for 20 youth specialist care centres, as well as $225m for 31 new and upgrades to #Medicare mental health centres, and $200m to expanding or starting 58 #Headspace centres.

The #YouthCentres will be focused on addressing what is called “the missing middle”, or complex needs that can be addressed outside #hospitals

Why does it take an election for this kind of funding to mental health when Prof. McGorry has been calling out for a decade?

“The #supermarket giants have pushed back against #Labor’s pledge on price gouging, saying the #ACCC’s inquiry had not concluded they were engaging in the practice.” (says supermarkets)

“We will fine them. We will fine them with heavy fines.”

David (DJ) Speers: “Heavy fines?”

Albanese: “Heavy fines to make sure that they know that if they’re ripping people off, then they are in the gun to pay a heavy penalty for it.” — #AnthonyAlbanese

1966 “Outside Melbourne Town Hall, a carefully prepared civic welcome was swept aside in a minute. Civic dignitaries and their wives were crushed, bruised and pummeled by surging people.

Fist #fights broke out, and police, soldiers and American security men fought desperately, but vainly to keep the frenzied crowd clear of the President.

A number of people #fainted but the crush was so great they could not collapse underfoot…. Plastic bags of paint were #thrown at the President's car as it pulled slowly away from #ElmTree House. A bag burst over the windscreen and the canopy, splattering paint over three of the President's security guards.

The President's comment was: "I guess he just couldn't stand the size of that turnout." — referring to the size of his car.”

The “Bubble top” was down.

“Australia’s contribution to a #MilitaryForce in #Ukraine to help deter #Russia from breaking a possible ceasefire would likely be *limited to ADF personnel helping with training and planning*, as a growing divide emerges between #AnthonyAlbanese and Peter Dutton on the proposal.

Dutton ramped up his opposition to Australia’s possible contribution to a peacekeeping force in Ukraine in a speech to the Lowy Institute on Thursday, saying “we are a middle power and we don't have an ability to have a presence in multiple theatres”.

Albanese has said his #government is open to requests to contribute to a #peacekeeping force after Britain and France both committed to sending troops in the event of a ceasefire.

The total force to be deployed by European nations and other countries like Australia could be as much as 30,000. An Australian delegation led by Australia's military representative to #NATO, Air Vice Marshal #DiTurton, will participate in planning talks in London today where options will be discussed.”
