#Digital Voice switchover cut off 95-year-old's landline

My 95-year-old friend is in distress. His #landline has stopped ­working & he’s told by his provider #EE that he may need to accept a new phone number to get his ­service back

He lives alone & relies on his phone for human contact

It will be a challenge for him to let ­people know his new number and he risks being cut off from #medical #communications

Trigger warning: reflection on personal experience of suicide and discrimination ⚠️

I am a 2nd generation Australian. Parents do not speak much English. Cismale. heterosexual. But as a student from 14 to 19, I encountered gay-hate. I also encountered racism. This escalated to the point of considering suicide several times. I found myself left alone and isolated.

Part of reason why I didn’t? (Including two failed attempts)
I didn’t feel isolated thanks to social media. Being able to connect with mature people in and outside of Australia who understand the hardship I was going through. I also had teachers who taught me critical thinking that helped with navigating the internet safely.
(There were also teachers that were part of the race/LGBTQIA hate)

… the social media ban, is just a feel good measure for parents who are ignorant of the plight and hardship of their children.

I genuinely am concerned for the marginalisation that will occur to LGBTQIA+ children and LGBTQIA-phobia/discrimination affected children who aren’t .

Genuinely disappointed in the Albanese-led Labor party.

So the #labor #government will not support enshrining into legislation a duty of care to future generations.
The high court recommended the government address this with legislation as there is no current legal mechanism to hold government to account.
Shame on them.
#auspol #australia #politics #youth #DutyOfCare

Recommendation 1
The committee recommends that the bill not be passed.

Recommendation 2
The committee recommends that the Australian Government consider the utilisation of the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Child Rights Impact Assessment Tool to assist in policy development and decision making.
