Australia's richest 200 people are hoarding $625 billion. We need $10 billion per year to raise the rate to the poverty line. A 2% annual wealth tax on these 200 greedy cunts would cover it. Eat the rich.

1350 signatures is great but not enough. Add you name to the petition telling our MP’s that we need to investigate our relationship with the US. www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Next time you strike an uncommitted voter in the upcoming #auspol election, you might want to ask them if they knew the Liberal/Nationals under Peter Dutton voted repeatedly against cost-of-living measures to help working families. Here’s a handy list of positions the LNP have taken lately.

What Labor has done in bringing inflation under control, creating more jobs, raising wages, creating space for rate cuts, record SME growth & increasing investments in pensions, health & education shouldn’t, according to neoliberalism, be possible Labor did it NO ONE ELSE ANYWHERE ELSE HAS #auspol

The reason America is no longer a global leader that can manage negotiations and broker deals is because they see everything in purely capitalistic term. Zero humanity, no understanding of culture and identity. Everything is a transaction and society is not a transaction.

We need to put more than geographical space between Australia and the U.S. Come on - go ahead and sign this people - it is worth a shot, and better than sitting on our thumbs just doing nothing.

Puff piece on @abc-news.bsky.social #abc730 program tonight about possible future gas shortage in Victoria was an overt attempt to peddle the gas industry’s ’drill, baby drill’ agenda. We don’t have a gas shortage…just a shortage of political constraints on unfettered gas exports #auspol

The US people chose their government, house, senate, president. The US people abandoned their allies with this vote. There is no reason for us to feel bad about protecting our own interests by walking away from a relationship that was deliberately broken by the majority of Americans. #AusPol

Interesting read from The Stats Guy on immigration - based on actual statistics not the rhetoric. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

Labor on a hiding to nothing today in the news reports. If interest rates aren't cut it will be all their fault. If interest rates are cut it will be reported as Labor has pressured RBA. BS either way.

Surely it’s time we had a political party whose platform is to treat News Corp like the criminal organisation it is, ban government advertising in its publications and boycott its bent hacks masquerading as journalists.

I see this as an example being set by one who claims to be fit to lead. We should all take as much money from our government as we can, as long as we can rationalise it by saying it’s “within the guidelines”. Or, this is fraud and theft and this MP should be charged. One or the other. #AusPol

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC
