How will big business respond to the Iran war? alexwhite.org/2026/03/oil-... #auspol #trump #iran

A bunch of things I read in March to help make sense of *gestures broadly* all of this alexwhite.org/2026/03/what... #auspol

How can Australia's foreign policy and military deep state justify being allied with this? #auspol #trump #iran

Australia is facing a likely Trump-caused recession and our political systems are completely incapable of understanding why or preparing for it. alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol #trump #iran

The Trump-recession is about to crash into Australia and we are utterly unprepared for the consequences. alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol

Reading the Nine and Murdoch papers this week and over Easter it is abjectly plain that the mainstream media is utterly incapable of seeing the Trumpcession that is coming. Our domestic political analysis is completely and dangerously divorced from reality. alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol

You may think the Capital Gains Tax Discount is just bad tax policy, but it is in fact state-sponsored money laundering for the ultra-rich. alexwhite.org/2026/04/aust... #auspol

"Virtually every substantial submission to the committee advocating for leaving the discount unchanged came from those who directly benefit from the current system." theconversation.com/is-the-capit... #auspol

This is deeply alarming!!

I can't say this enough. There is a Trumpcession about to hit and Australia is uniquely vulnerable to this shock. We are completely unprepared. #auspol #trump #iranwar alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-...

War is unpopular. The key is to understand that the neo-conservative, billionaire elites and deep-state war-mongers who run the US and Israel don't care about public opinion. #trump #war #iran #auspol

Honestly would be best for the world if he did.

With Albo giving his address to the nation, here's what I wrote last week about the Trump-recession about to hit Australia. TLDR: Australia is completely unprepared for the shock of the Trumpcession. alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol

Interesting interview with RGP insider who says (my phrasing) that the horrific health insurance situation is a major barrier for RPG publishers and gamers. youtu.be/o-w3bky1c8Y?... #rpg #ttrpg #healthcare #healthinsurance

This is absolutely an important win for workers and unions. Youth wages are appalling discrimination that amounts to legalised theft of wages. #auspol

Trump is openly saying what the Left has said for years - the US war on Iran is a US war for oil. alexwhite.org/2026/03/oil-...

What starts with J and isn't Israel...?

Why is Australia facing a fuel crisis? Our tax system for oil and gas has been written to almost entirely benefit the foreign-owned mega-corporations. alexwhite.org/2026/03/oil-... #auspol

If the gas companies "leave", they can't take the gas with them.

What if there was one simple trick to solving the problem of "being ultra-rich isn't that fun"? There is. It's called a wealth tax. alexwhite.org/2026/01/do-w... #auspol #wealthtax

This conflict with Iran is a desperate attempt to protect a crumbling financial order of US petro-dollar imperialism, not a genuine fight for democracy, preventing Iran from getting a nuke or toppling a vicious Islamo-fascist regime. Australia should absolutely reject involvement #iranwar #auspol

Back in December 2025 I wrote about the drivers of support for One Nation and the risks of continuing with the status quo. alexwhite.org/2025/12/the-... #auspol #onenation

Why is everyone so dang angry? alexwhite.org/2026/01/what... #auspol

In December last year I wrote about why One Nation is surging and the risk for Labor, especially for real, material drivers like the cost of living, housing and the switcheroo of immigration. alexwhite.org/2025/12/the-... #auspol

Energy is the ultimate geopolitical currency but Australia is giving the majority of our energy away for free to foreign-owned mega-corporations.

Australia exports the vast bulk of our fossil fuels overseas via foreign-owned mega-corporations and then we buy it back. #auspol #iranwar

The US is abjectly losing the war against Iran. "the U.S. seems to expect the war to end without any agreement simply not to block the Strait of Hormuz or exact tolls through it" talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rubio...

Somewhat of an understatement #iran #trump

Stealing @liamhogan.id.au's very correct point #auspol

The One Nation 20 percent vote in South Australia is a direct consequence of decades of neoliberal austerity and economic abandonment. #auspol #savotes alexwhite.org/2026/03/unde...

We won't have any subs even if we do stay with AUKUS. #auspol

Australia abstained. #auspol

What if there was one simple trick to solving the problem of extreme wealth concentration? There is. A wealth tax. alexwhite.org/2026/01/do-w...

Australia is uniquely vulnerable to a Trump-caused recession alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol #ausecon

The Trumpcession will soon hit. The public is exhausted by corporate greed-inflation shocks and decades of neoliberalism. Between the housing crisis, stagnant wages, and the inadequacy of income support, the real living standards have fallen for over a decade. alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol

The world is hurtling towards a Trump-caused recession, and the Australian political and economic establishment is entirely unprepared for the impact. alexwhite.org/2026/03/the-... #auspol #trumpcession

The health content industry/grift and celebrity news content industry has a direct pipeline that funnels people into the arms of the far-right. #auspol #clavicular alexwhite.org/2026/01/the-...

Tim Dunlop (@timdunlop.bsky.social) has a good piece about the SA election and One Nation and he clearly reads similar stuff to me (and he also kindly links to my own thoughts). In response here's some thoughts. tdunlop.substack.com/p/surface-de... #auspol #savotes

The goal of the central banks like the RBA is to raise interests rates and thereby to “cool” the economy by increasing unemployment. In short, they want mass-sackings to preserve the privilege of profiteering corporations. alexwhite.org/2026/03/what... #auspol

While we know that Trump Always Chickens Out, it's worth understanding that Trump and the grifters in the White House are engaged in highly cynical and corrupt manipulation of the oil spot price and share market. #trump #taco #iran #news

By using the language of "ordinary workers," Fink tries to neutralise genuine class struggle and fold it into a managed, corporate-friendly "reform" process that launders dangerous pro-war technology like nuclear energy and toxic fossil fuels, and wraps it in neoliberal "abundance" jargon. #auspol

This is sickening - cutting support for literally the most vulnerable people in Australia, sacrificing bodies and lives on the altar of "productivity" (which means work harder, longer to make increased profits for your corporate boss). #auspol

Does anyone really believe this "at risk" nonsense? The financial tech elite has made a global system that generates vast wealth through financialisation, debt leveraging, and inflating the prices of assets like real estate, or the current AI infrastructure bubble. alexwhite.org/2026/03/what...
