Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥
Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"
You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?
No you mean the NDIS FFS
The line is miles behind them.
Australia has done nothing while Israel has assassinated journalists, medics, aid workers, diplomats, foreign & spiritual leaders. Through the war crimes & illegal invasions, Albanese has done nothing even to dissuade Israel – no sanctions, no support for arrest warrants.
Is there even a red line?

Thats why I’m ex
Single frame. Dark room with Trump sitting across a table from an Iranian leader. Between them sitting on the table is an elephant with the Israeli flag on its forehead.

As an atheiest ex-Catholic I am firmly on Team Pope.

Thanks - maybe time more independents put their hands up on metro seats now

Ludicrous that Australia doesn't have thousands of these. We are now years and years behind other countries who have the infrastructure to run everything on renewable energy, & we're still polluting & not taxing the billionaire fossil fuel companies. Clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right.
Same- more aligned with than
many in my own world …
Have thought of going back - but Musk 🤢
There’s some great people I miss 🥲

We vote in independents where I live.
