In Australia, the same goes for housing. #Auspol.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

The only issue in Australia is housing.

All else flows from that.

Using our need for shelter as a driver for slavery disgusts me.

Australia and the US should both look seriously at the Canadian model where politicians' wealth is held in a blind trust while they are serving.

And the list goes on and on.

Damn right.

Politicians share holdings and such should be placed in a blind trust for the duration of their tenure.

Both AOC and Bernie were on fire today! The first round showed their rigour for action, though their speeches were a little rushed.. but today, they were on fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

One of my reasons for preferring the Greens. Ethics is part of the package.

Seriously, we legally require our representatives to renounce their duel citizenship due to concerns that they might not put the country first. By that logic they should also divest all stocks, investment properties and private business interests. They should be focused on *us* or should step aside.
