The Australian Govt: 'We can’t afford to put dental into Medicare.'
Also the Australian Govt: 'Anyway, here is $7,000,000,000 for private health insurers so they can keep their profit margins high and their executive bonuses fat.'
The math isn't mathing, but the lobbying sure is, welcome to capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich.

Are you fucking me right now #medibank? Are you preventing me pasting a password into the password box on your account creation screen? Seriously? This is your best practices at work?

Pathetic.

The hard-working folk of the Australian Signals Directorate, a department that rarely gets mentioned (and they like it that way) has completed a major coup ASD against the Russian group who snatched millions of records from Australia's Medibank health insurance provider a couple of years ago.

With the help of the UK and US, they identified the major players, located the servers, and wiped out 250 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘺𝘵𝘦𝘴 of stolen data; the Australian info, and that of many more organisations.

All gone, bye-bye. 😂

The people who ran the show went out for a drink (Russian style, so they got blotto), and while they were in no position to respond, the ASD snuck in to their system and did the deed. The show runners are now sanctioned and on catch-and-keep lists.

Well done, everybody!

Love paying $80 a month for this service I have been ineligible for since May 2nd and which I have been in a never-ending cancellation request loop for. #Medibank sucks. They better refund us for this crap.

Let thee who has not bought work home cast the first stone.

#Medibank is facing a potential fine of $21.5 trillion for allegedly failing to protect its customers' sensitive information in one of the country's largest #databreaches. #Hackers stole and leaked personal data, including medical records, of nearly 10 million customers to the #darkweb. Following an 18-month investigation, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner sued Medibank in the Federal Court, concluding that the company failed in its #security responsibilities. Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind states this case serves as a test and a wake-up call to businesses, emphasising their corporate and legal obligations to protect customer information.
