If you enjoy quality acting (This article 👇) an actor I'd never heard, Josh O'Connor. Recently saw him in 'Wake Up Dead Man' 🌟 👍 Nowhere near Pedro Pascal (the best male actor) Quality actor though, "God's Own Country" Josh O'Connor, an incredible performance. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

yes, failing to RaiseTheRate has been an enormous betrayal. and i think the majority of people know or know of someone starving on welfare that doesn't deserve the suffering.

Of note the context of this interview. An exclusive for The Guardian as opposed to another outlet. Very targeted indeed. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A professional politician in the highest position of power in our country should also know about governing for the public good but ... oh well, maybe our next PM.

As a result of being the implied target of it, we can see the signs. But they were flashing lights and bullhorns. White people, with few exceptions, are willfully obtuse and bend over backwards to defend and mollify the bigots to live among them. Even those who acknowledge it in general.

And this happened across the political spectrum! The explanations came in different forms depending on the side, but white people kept pretending like we don’t know them better than they know themselves

Embrace? 🤣 They've chosen to pull away from being guided to the same side of the street! How many times has the euphemism 'timidity', have to be implied. It's not who they are. Yet commentary continues to view the ALP through the prism of what & how the Party use to be & what it use to stand for

True. Failures of free-markets have disappeared from the now Neoliberal-Labor Party mission.

Cravenly Chickenhearted.

#theausinstitute “We live in one of the richest countries in the world, that can afford to drop a lazy $360 billion on a bad idea . . . yet, when it comes to health, education, aged care, apparently, so many of these things are unaffordable.” - Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO at The Australia Institute

🤣😂 Shameless

Blue-Dog Democrates. More about burying their head in the sand, conning with 'PR Prosperity' and maddening insincerity than actual delivery.

Investigating the NACC's (National Anti-Corruption Committee's) Commissioner, Paul Brereton for corruption, Again! Pretty much sums up the present state of play here in Oz. Follow the yellow brick road.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

So Australians are paying more to help in the transition to renewable energy so it can be siphoned off for data centre usage, so govt can ultise AI to screw us over even more. Not just to further undermine the social safety net but to stall progress on the unambitious target of net zero.

I got mail in the Centrelink app (which I was of course not notified of and only saw by chance when in the app) telling me I have until March 2026 to go through a complicated beareucratic procedure to update a Robodebt claim for compensation. Like... how is the burden on ME to fix THEIR fuckup?

1 of the NACC's primary missions should have been 'to EARN public trust'. Not only has this not been considered, but their shananagians of entitlement have bred public mistrust of; what was meant to be an institution created to protect the Interests of the Public. thepoint.com.au/news/251205-...

If government wants to save money surely a more reasonable and equitable system would be the means-testing of assets and savings of recipients and the parents of minors. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Was just criticism of the Morrison govt. when in opposition evolving into an election promise. They were never fair dinkum about doing anything. Katie Gallagher gives me the creeps.

Trickle up “wink, winks"diversity statements don't work. Compared to Canada, USA and UK, something's completely gone awry in Australia re ratio between Anglo and non-Anglo Public positions. It's the lack of sincerity.

Let's not forget it was Labor Premier Anna Bligh that gave away Qld's gas to big corporations for free and also sold public owned Qld rail and all other publicly owned assets without a mandate. Labor was reduced to 7 members, she exiled herself from Qld soon after.. thepoint.com.au/news/251202-...

Labors' notions of 'diversity', don't extend beyond that of white women.

I believe 'The Point' has filled this vacancy left by Guardian Australia. I've also noticed that somethings changed. Their Pro-Labor stance has become less subtle in Albaneses 2nd term of government.
