Open post Ric @aqualung@eigenmagic.net · 1mo ago Replying to @NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net Labor doesn’t want to stop doing #robodebt for old people. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-19/labor-stands-by-algorithm-aged-care-assessment-tool/107055252 This is a statement of their heartfelt values: with an absence of humanity, Mark Butler, with the support of the Labor Party Room and Cabinet, prefers robotically-evaluated “consistent outcomes” over tending to peoples’ basic needs. #4corners decisions made at you, not with you. Show @NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net Memo to Mark Butler: Life is inconsistent, and you can’t change that by fiat … and you can’t avoid accountability for shit decisions by saying a machine made them.
