Semi retired and old enough to see changes in our climate and madness in the world. No to AUKUS, yes to UBI and liveable jobseeker and pension wage levels. Tax the rich corporations as well.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Meanwhile in Australia our fuel prices are rising & we know who is responsible.

Another war, another reminder that rather than spending $380Bn on AUKUS on we should use it to upgrade our grid, electrify the entire country, subsidise chargers in every home and never be oil dependent again.

Ditto for Australia, our country should be much wealthier but we gave our irreplaceable resources to multinationals. The power of lobbyists. #auspol

There are dystopian stories out there that depict a new dark age, corporate greed and religious nutters against a backdrop of runaway climate change. Not even bunkers or secret moon bases (if we ever get that far) will save the elite.

Psychologist Mary Trump, Donald Trump's 60-year-old niece and the daughter of his late brother Fred Trump Jr., often argues that the president suffers from poor mental health and is pushing destructive policies because of it.

Much of what is happening in the world right now has to do with the lack of open, critical education and mindfulness. Yes, likely also of you and me. We did let this happen.
Richard Murphy's YouTube channel is always extremely well produced and thought-provoking.

Why the independents may be forced into an alliance A party of independents is a contradiction in terms, but new donation laws may force teals and others to form a party to compete with the majors.

β€œWhy would any of the independents, teal or otherwise, want to have anything to do with a splinter party from the centre-right of politics?” | Mike Seccombe satpa.pe/1WlfrWN

Pros and cons, but maybe this is what is needed to remove complacency by Labor...
I think teals will move to form a party for the only reason of complying with the donation laws that are coming in in July. I think the burdens on them will be massive if they don’t form a party

At this point the United States is no different than Russia. All the money is spent on war and the enrichment of Oligarchs, while the everyday citizens suffer.

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
