Poverty can't deliver sustained economic growth Worker share of gross value added down from 71.9% in 1975 to 59% Average real wage unchanged since 2008. 4.4m jobs don’t pay the real living wage. Millions rely on charity. No political party wants to tackle systemic causes of poverty.

Over and over again we here interviews with all and sundry about “antisemitism “, but not one fucking time has anyone mentioned the slaughter of innocents in Gaza . Why is the media pretending this is happening in a vacuum, if indeed it is as the media has chosen to frame it ?

“What unsettles me is that the interaction no longer feels quite like what medicine, at its heart, is supposed to be: an intimate exchange between 2 humans. The hospital room should be able to hold fear, shame & guilt, to shelter the things people say in the depths of illness.” 🛟🧪

Fucking corrupt #auspol cunts making protection laws to avoid any accountability, kinda like the obviously corrupted secret #NACC. Even with #robodebt & the deaths it caused to our most vulnerable, no politicians were held personally accountable. Funny that we jail kids FFS, just not pollies

Tobacco companies survived ad ban just fine. So will gambling companies

"Jibia was a 10-year-old girl, ranking third out of 58 students in her fourth-grade class in Rwamwanja, Uganda.

Julian Cribb: With a perfectly straight face, world ’leaders’ talk about freeing up world trade in oil for sake of economy, when that is primary pathway to human destruction. Almost none of them has mentioned the obvious solution: quit oil altogether and substitute renewable energy. #auspol

“surveillance works well with the new far right, and it works really well for Palantir; that is why they seem such great bedfellows." It is a firm which is “turbocharging fascism and authoritarianism”. The Australian govt is increasingly contracting Palantir, with little public scrutiny. #auspol

Last Friday the Salvation Army Employment Plus: government funded charity, lied about me not meeting my obligations, ignored their administrative tasks entirely and saw me lose payment - wrongly for five days.

The Govt's gambling "reforms" arrived today. They're useless. The PM should personally explain why protecting gambling companies, media companies and the major sporting codes is more important to his Govt than protecting the interests, and lives, of Australians. #auspol #politas

Sensible Spain. Australia, it's time to 1. place moral conditions on our relationships with the United State + Israel (et.al., UK) 2. couple this assertiveness with becoming a republic ...anything less lacks integrity. #auspol

The northwestern Mediterranean is experiencing a heat wave that has reached a peak intensity for the area, with an average difference of 5.2°C compared to normal, or climatological, values, according to data from the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM). #KeepItInTheGround #auspol bit.ly/4eERV0l

Trade unions could stop loading imports and exports… of all produce…old enough to remember a tit for tat bryween USA and USSR in the 80s… soviets stopped all support like cleaners to the US embassy

Given the previous article I just shared about the Mediterranean being around 5 degrees hotter than normal, this seems appropriate #KeepItInTheGround #BanFossilFuelSubsidies #auspol act.350.org.au/petitions/cu...

Thanks so much, Rex, for your tireless work fighting the government for information that should be available to the public. 😀👍

1) You request access to Govt docs to participate in democracy. 2) Govt says “NO”! 3) You seek a Tribunal review and it says “YES”. 4) Govt appeals to a court and demands you pay their legal fees. 5) Independent MPs & senators say “THAT’S NOT OK”! #auspol
