Australiaโ€™s billionaires raked in $67,000 an hour last year.

While millions struggled to afford rent or groceries.

Itโ€™s time to turn the tables.

The Greens have announced our plan to tax Australia's 150 billionaires to fund cost of living relief.

โ€ข Guardian article updated Saturday with this denial from Services Australia, which also appears in 7news' coverage.

โ€ข Doesn't tell us the average amount of these unowed debts isn't $5,000, or what it is.

โ€ข Still no proper statements from anybody. I am not impressed.

Get in loser, we are trashing Australiaโ€™s national environmental laws! Labor are making sure their legacy is as easy as possible on their fossil fuel mates and as awful as possible for the community. #auspol

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

More Big Companies Bet They Can Still Grow Without Hiring JPMorgan Chase has a โ€œstrong biasโ€ against adding staff, while Walmart is keeping its head count flat.

Big U.S. employers are making the calculation that they can keep head counts flatโ€”or let people goโ€”and see little negative effect on their businesses, as AI picks up the slack.
