One of the most successful advancements of the 21st century has been that no country in the world legally restricts voting rights based on gender anymore.

If you want a better life, you need to join a union!

Labor theory of value is correct.

The opposition comes from people who want a society where we devalue workers.

It's also worth noting that all of these countries have a STEM skills gap and yet participation in school science subjects is in decline.

This is extremely bad for economies that need more R&D, better tax bases and need to increase exports which STEM would help it do.

The decline of PISA science scores of the anglosphere seems to be heavily correlated with declining productivity.

This is all while governments have not increase school science funding in real terms and the OCED linked increase in funding for science at schools to productivity.

Luxemburg warned that reforms pacify struggle, but codetermination does the opposite—it embeds class conflict inside production. Works councils empower workers to shape decisions, build democratic capacity, and challenge capital’s dominance.

Countries like Australia and the UK have lagged behind Germany in productivity for awhile.

Implementing Works Councils which are are elected workplace bodies who consult with management on company decisions have helped Germany boost productivity (Addison, Schnabel & Wagner (2007).

It's becoming clear that Australia needs to invest in water conservation projects and have a long term plan for our water resources #auspol

I really hope at some point we can start having the conversation about the transformative power of education along with big ambition for the future of public education in this country #auspol

It's very stupid to be anti immigration in this country when we are facing one of the worst skills shortages in our history #auspol

One of the cruelist things this country ever did was abolish widows pension #auspol

Increase the disability support pension #auspol

30% of old age pensioners live below the poverty line already and others face an assets test to even receive the payment.
We need to increase the old age pension so that at least it's something you can live on and expand eligibility.
The cash rich boomer is a myth #auspol

We don't build enough houses and we are still not building enough.
On top of that, most states and the federal government for the most part stopped building public housing.
and increases in interest rates disincentivized the private sector from building houses. #auspol

The Vietnam War was criminally evil #auspol

It was pretty cool when India decided to deal with high oil prices and price manipulation by international petroleum firms by acting as a purchasing agent for crude oil imports.

Australia dodged a bullet by Harold Holt disappearing

I agree with you mate!

I'm very proud of all the Olympians who participated for Australia. 🇦🇺

Our universities need a way greater level of funding for research activities if we are to survive in the 21st century global economy. #auspol

Vietnam War casualties were horrible! #auspol

Menzies fanboys always confuse me.
Why are you supporting a guy who lead Australia through an era of highly restrictive trade practises where new enterprises found it hard to get capital which hampered our industrial growth?
Menzies was horrible!! #auspol

If it wasn't for Cadwell, the liberals (conservatives) probably would have lost.
They had lost their main ideologue Menzies and were clearly out of puff by this stage relying on the Vietnam War to take them to victory at the polls #auspol

It's pretty funny that the conservatives in Australia split with a party in South Australia called the Liberal Reform Group over the issue of Vietnam and conscription. #auspol

Legend! #auspol
