The actual answer:
On a human timescale these feel like a concerning uptick in frequency. On a geological timescale, these are all happening in the blink of an eye and are almost definitely related to the 2021 Mansfield quake.
A pair noise cancelling headphones would have an even better effect, and only one person needs to use them in this scenario.
Edit: Sorry I'm still quite surprised you'd expect blind people to wear a hearing aid?
What about people who are blind or have low vision?
Mostly just determined this convo isn't very useful, that's all.
Truly, if politicians at all levels were doing their jobs, from local mayor to federal cabinet member, The Voice would be moot.
Of course, so who holds them accountable for doing their jobs? Perhaps a Voice?
These are the gaps, each backed by data that demonstrates how outcomes differ between Non-Indigenous and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people:

These particular measures were established in the mid-00's. I don't think I can give you a reasonable summary of how the targets were set but it is all available online, starting with that website.
Cabinet solidarity is a fundamental principle of parliamentary democracies supported by all sides of politics. It's not a left-exclusive practice.
I can't really make sense of the rest of what you're saying, sorry.
First Nations people were asked what they needed to improve their lives and close the gap. It was not some kind of permanent ministry position. Their answer, after years of discussion and consultation, was the Voice.
I will point out, too, that we've had a Minister for Indigenous Affairs continuously since 1968, though only since 2019 has this minister actually been indigenous.
This would not confer any of the benefits an independent Voice would have achieved. Advice needs to be grassroots, frank, fearless and not subject to cabinet practice of collective decision making and confidentiality. Cabinet solidarity practices make it impossible for such a member to publicly contradict government policy.
I love the corn chip ones
It's a YouTube mirror of a legitimate four-day-old video from The Hill, which is a centre to left-leaning news source.
The video contents itself contains mild criticisms towards Israel and this is why it's getting reported. I don't think it promotes lies or misinformation.
I have not heard of this YouTube mirror tech they are using, Invidious, not sure if it's above board, but that would be me only concern if it is not.
