Old, white, Aussie male. Don't blame me. I'm woke, empathic, and left. Economics and politics sustain me, nature and science thrill me.

The Worst Deal in History: Why Mining Has Ransacked Australia While the Press Looked Away How Australia became the world’s cautionary tale in resource management. The mining industry didn’t steal our wealth. We handed it over. The press, owned by the same mining interests si…

The profit motive does not belong in childcare or aged care. At all.

Nor in power, communications, water, or prisons.

Before privately run day care mess it was privately run aged care mess.

Took a Royal Commission to tell Labor fedgovt what to do abt it.

Action followed departure of some profit seekers as cost of doing it right cut into their profits.

Privatise for Profit is a sickness. Stop doing it.

When the head of the NACC is under scrutiny for not one, but two, perceived conflicts then he should step down. We want a robust NACC we can trust.

Time to bring back the 2 finger salute from WW2 re Yank troops in Australia.
For the kids; please read up on Battle of Brisbane en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...

And if unsure, please research rapes and assaults in Okinawa.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

One in 7 Australians - and 1 in 6 children - are living in #poverty. The people Albo "left behind".

As the article outlines, fixing this is not just about fairness.
It is sensible policy that will benefit us all.

If this isn't done, what is the point of Labor? #RaiseTheRate #inequality #auspol

Punitive & cruel policies are choices willingly made by @australianlabor.bsky.social. Poverty a choice made by @albomp.bsky.social.
Private employment services are bludging billions off the gov. While jobseekers face harm & humiliating tasks to receive support.
