One in eight households can’t afford enough food. That’s not poor budgeting, that’s systemic failure. Food is a human right, not a privilege. Inequality and political neglect are leaving families hungry. #foodinsecurity #poverty #inequality #costofliving theconversation.com/1-in-8-house...

Jeff Kennett is rolled out to criticize ex-premier Dan Andrews who visited Australia's major trading partner, China to take part in celebrations of the defeat of Japan. Students of history will note that by joining the Allies, China helped save Australia from invasion by the Japanese. #auspol

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

#Superannuation was meant to help people save for retirement, but 40 years on it's become a tax dodge for the wealthy. It's now set to cost taxpayers more than the Age Pension. Watch Alan Kohler break it down: #alankohler #abcnews #auspol #taxtherich www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_uh...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Lots of fuss over the new super tax on balances over $3M - but it affects less than 0.5% of Aussies. Most won’t ever reach that. Super is for all Aussies’ retirement, not a tax haven for the ultra-rich. Maybe the outrage should match who’s actually impacted? #Superannuation #TaxFairness #Auspol

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.   Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k.  Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?
