Older than I was. Hunger for social equity, craving a better world for all. AFLW & AFL Hawks fan. I care about animals, nature, life and people. Occasional writer, regular gardener, enjoyer of the ridiculous. Wadawurrung lands. Left & proud of it

No, unfortunately
A few years ago I wrote a piece on Medium about it and was surprised at the feedback I got from the UK, because I'd written it in relation to Australia
I was disturbed by the number of older aged fathers worried about who their adult sons were idolising
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
But Roh! There's been one game played by half the sides in the League, so the dozens of hours of insight and rumour needs to be analysed by the soaring intellects of washed up has beens, never were's & 19yo genii has never seemed so vitally important
Geeze. Kane might've predicted who finishes 9th
This framing of war having a negative impact on the cost of living makes me wanna scream!
That petrol and groceries are the focus over the human cost is so unbearably grim.
I am sick of money being the measure of all worth in this world.
Fuck cost of living, I am worried about cost of lives.

There really is a big need for systematic review of how police apply the law to different groups. We have just watched the collapse of the #justice system in #US. So courts the same. We have a similar #genocidal, #racist and #sexist past in Oz. #auspol

Anyone have a link to the petition to have this taken seriously?
I mean, why the fuck we have to ask to have existing laws applied is beyond me, but this must be pursued

How are those hate laws going?
Someone want to let the cops know about them?

The announcement today from the Albanese Labor Government to send an E-7A Wedgetail aircraft to the Gulf and provide medium-range air-to-air missiles to the UAE shows Australia has been fully dragged into another US forever war.

Imagine being such a spineless, incapable and insecure little nobody that the idea of your life partner having her own thoughts, ambitions and ideals threatens you?
I think that's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard

Its beyond disturbing that the Australian Prime Minister ignores 27 million Australians while he bows to a handful of wealthy, white, fascist Zionists

Yet here you are, telling us that you are involving us, against the wishes of majority of Australians, in a war started by a paedophile & a war criminal to save their political arses, because of "unprovoked attacks"

The Royal Commission we got is a biased, myopic program designed to normalise extremist racism & provide excuses for 0.4% of our community to operate outside the boundaries of society
The R/C we need is to investigate foreign interference in Australian life
