Yes Governments only give the impression of working for us when they are actually serving big business.
Labor under internal pressure on gas tax as influencer says government ‘stopped working for the punters’

“…in any given week there are scandals playing out in Cabinet departments, sub-Cabinet posts, and outer-rings-of-Trump influence that never even make the front page — and yet most of them would be bigger than the biggest scandal to hit either the Obama administration or Biden administration…”
Here we go again, Qld. Premier David Crisafulli's youth slogans are clearly not deterring kids so what does he get Laura Gerber to do? Add 13 more crimes into the mess, further criminalise drug addiction & criminalise the homeless. Qld Labor is not having any of it. #qldpol
Curious what Trump's three sacked Cabinet Secretaries have in common....
Noem, Bondi and Chavez-DeRemer were undoubtedly heinous and beyond incompetent....but were they really worse than Hegseth, Kennedy or Patel?

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... We know there’s appetite among some in the Labor caucus to implement a windfall tax or flat export tax, but govt is facing a heap of external pressure from the industry (who don’t want to take a haircut on their profits) & overseas nations including Japan
I don't know how reliable this source is and can't vouch for it. You would have to be in the room to really know. But it IS incumbent on Trump's Cabinet to know. If it is true, it would be a dereliction of their Constitutional duty NOT to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Come on, Queensland media. You'll chase down Labor MPs in Europe & Byron Bay. You can't just leave it at that. How did we ever get to the Fitzgerald Inquiry?
We all have to comply with electoral laws. David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie are literally laughing at you. #qldpol
Trump 2.0 tried SO HARD not to be like Trump 1.0 with its endless, embarrassing stream of Cabinet/Administration officials resigning or being fired.
#Maddow is currently recounting how the bottom has now fallen out in 2.0…and with the worst remaining officials (Kash, Hegseth, Tulsi) still employed.
Another incompetent criminal cabinet member gets shitcanned.
White House: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will leave job.

The sense from Labor's questions on the Gas Tax committee is a big worry about ensuring more gas investment.
Sigh.
The govt seems enamored with a windfall profits tax which will look great in a textbook
Then every year in the budget papers the revenue will be revised down.

Trump's Labor Secretary was fired for day drinking? Uh-oh. #maddow

“Australia Institute research shows if Labor had introduced a 25% export tax back in 2022, we would have collected $69 billion by now, and every week we delay introducing such a tax is costing us $350 million." - Dr Richard Denniss

Boy, for a cabinet secretary who didn't make many waves, the former Labor Secretary was quite a piece of work. #Maddow
Trump’s hiring of his Cabinet is exactly what some on the far right think that Affirmative Action/DEI are.
They think that incompetent people were given good jobs just because they’re black. Actually, they think every black person who ever achieved anything was just given it.
But look at THEM.
It's incredible what #Maddow talks about Labor Dep. Chavez. 😮
Byeeeeee.
Americans deserve a Labor Secretary who will fight for their rights — not someone fighting scandals and allegations their family members are sexually assaulting federal staff.
It’s time for Hegseth and Patel to go next.
The most anti-Labor Labor Secretary resigns amidst allegations of maintaining a toxic workplace and at least 3 sexual assault allegations against her husband.
She allegedly ordered staff to clean out her personal clothing closet.
Weaponized incompetence.
Let's say it together: what we are seeing with Congress and the Cabinet and SCOTUS....
...weaponized incompetence.
This is what abusers do. They know how to get stuff done. They don't want to.
