#Labor party shafts the over 65's. Social cohesion & all that, aligning with USA/Isreal in unlawful attack on Iran, sending military hardware to Uncle Donald. School children murdered. What a reprehensible lot @albomp.bsky.social Hows the Sports Club Lobby going?

“In Australia we don’t tax [the gas] industry. It’s foreign owned, and other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of Australia’s fossil fuel exports.
“And we’re the ones going ‘Gee, the air conditioning is a bit expensive’”.

Taking from disabled people to give to people in aged care is a cynical political exercise from Labor.
Pitting people who genuinely need care against each other while leaving $17 billion in the pockets of gas corporations they’re too cowardly to tax is shameful.

No one left behind @australianlabor.bsky.social gives
$12b to private schools
$30,000 a minute for planet killing #FossilFuels
$205b to wealthy property owners
$55.7b on weapons
But cannot afford to safely fund people with a disability on the #NDIS
And won’t raise people out of poverty

Breath of fresh air!
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
A big majority in Parliament - a 25% gas export tax is a no-brainer for $10B a year. Albo and Jim Chalmers, don't let a good crisis go to waste. Fix Budget, reshape Australia #auspol

Maybe he should talk to corporate billionaires who do nothing and benefit from the hard work of people paid a pittance. Scapegoating the marginalised and powerless is easy to do and requires little effort or nouse. Beyond contempt.
A prime-time TV report on renewables and EVs fell apart at the first fact-check.
Misinformation is distorting Australia’s energy debate – and being amplified in mainstream media, Giles Parkinson writes.

Single frame. Title “Against the Law…” NSW Premier Chris Minns marching in front of the bench in court holding sign saying “SOCIAL COHESION RULES OK” and chanting “WHADDOIWANT? TO OUTLAW PROTEST! WHENNOIWANNIT? NOW!” Court scribe watches on and judge says, “Move on.”
Protest.
My @smh cartoon.
Yesterday I was suspended from the Commons and escorted off the parliamentary estate for calling the Prime Minister a barefaced liar.
I would do it again.
Every person in this country knows that Keir Starmer is exactly that.
I will always speak truth to power.

Also involved in bombing of school children in Tehran on the first day of the illgeal war.
The govt right now is in full “what can we do to look like we’re doing something” mode.
They remain more worried about gas companies than they are voters.

“In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Australia Institute co-CEO Richard Denniss.
Add your name to the call and demand the gas industry pays its fair share: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/increase_the_prrt
It's obscene, it indicates how very little the Federal Government does to protect our collective interests.
This is Howard's policy come home to roost.
This is rather shocking. But yes - Japan has a gas import tax
australiainstitute.org.au/post/japanes...
. @richarddenniss.bsky.social opens by pointing out that the Japanese govt actually raises more revenue from Australian gas than does the Australian govt!

Hey Penny, Albo and Dick. . .look at this , a bloke with principles, who also comprehends INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Obscene that the govt can find billions 4 AUKUS but will need 2 cut NDIS spending. A socially cohesive society looks after those who need help-health, education, housing, lifting people above the poverty line are priorities. @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social fail miserably. #auspol #shame
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

@jimchalmers.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social Gilding the lily politicking, taking people 4 granted, treating them with contempt sows seeds of discontent.This is contemporary #Labor in action.
You're hearing it more and more... it's time to tax gas exports!
More than 50 community organisations, including ACOSS and Oxfam, are calling for a 25% export tax.
Australians are fed up with the gas industry not paying its fair share.

What a hero she is. . . Not unlike Australia's Grace Tame and Sweden's Greta Thunberg. . .
Not intimidated.
It seems that many Western'democracies' are owned by the Zionist/Epstein Regime. We are complicit because of inaction, tacit acceptance of the carnage wrought which our FM has 'concerns' about. Hertzog welcomed, peaceful protestors beaten up. Mr Minn's henchmen at the ready. Courts found him out!
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
