Let’s take Australia backwards. No heart no imagination no future

RBA fails households and fails the nation – again The Reserve Bank of Australia had a great opportunity to give Australians - and the nation’s sluggish economy - something both desperately needed before

By leaving interest rates on hold, the RBA has failed to do what is right for Australians & what is right for the economy.

Australians have suffered unnecessarily for too long. Cutting rates would have provided some sensible stimulus to an economy that has almost ground to a halt.

Media release:

News Corp are biased towards right wing politicians and ideas, and always has been. But bias is just part of what Albo is referencing here. News Corp are a campaign platform - a propaganda machine - using the facade of journalism as a political campaign. News Corp should be transparent about this.

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young makes a very good point. #auspol

We have an AFP operation & a special envoy for antisemitism but no AFP investigation into femicide.
No people have been killed in antisemitic incidences, but we’ve had 94 incidences of femicide associated with domestic violence.
0.46% of the population vs. 50.7%
Am I missing something?

Israel condemns Australia’s UN ‘flip-flop’, says it rewards terrorism In its most damning statement yet, Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu’s office made clear the decision to promote Palestinian statehood was seen as a betrayal.

The tired and tedious “anti-Semitic” smear again. And again. Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Has Peter Dutton ever heard of renewable energy storage?

Batteries?

He's still going on about 'if the sun doesn't shine, the wind doesn't blow or it's night time"

FFS

How does he think water comes out of the tap when it's not raining?

Fucking storage, Einstein

Peter Dutton claims Australia voting with most of the world to uphold the rule of law is the Albanese government damaging its relationship with the US (who voted against it) at a time Australia should be "strengthening" its US relationship.

He's truly happy for Aust to sink all the way with the USA

There's a giant bullfrog in my yard croaking non stop So noisy so loud so annoying

I think it may be Peter Dutton

How not to battle inflation Economists including former Reserve Bank governor Bernie Fraser are increasingly convinced there are more effective tools than interest rates to fight inflation – but what are they?

“Profit gouging, supply shortages, climate change, all these things [are driving inflation]. Putting up interest rates won’t deal with that, but it’ll make life worse,”

– Former RBA governor, Bernie Fraser.

Struggling artist Gina Rinehart's self portrait wins the #auspol Archibald prize.

Elon Musk spent Thanksgiving with Trump instead of his family and Trump sat next to Musk during the feast instead of his wife Melania Trump. Musk hasn't left Trump's side since the election, questions are arising if he'll be living at the White House after January.

It's good that we can find out the truth without having to engage with what passes for Journalism in Australia these days. #auspol

That’s 5 newsworthy items missed by MSM/abcnews. Add to yours: elite private schools losing Govt funding; public education funding boosted by billions; Govt rebates have made electricity 40% cheaper and; Federal Parliament will reconvene in February. I’m sure there’s more.

The tangled web that links big unions and Labor to the $3.9 trillion super sector By James Massola November 25, 2024

Cripes did Massola even write any word of this, or did he just add his name to Andrew Bragg's prose?

Rents are a State matter

Chart of public demand growth showing in 2022-23 that public sector demand fell from 6.5% during the pandemic to 2.4% - the lowest since the Austerity years of Joe Hockey

I see a junior economist in the AFR keeps trying to argue that government spending made inflation worse.

Problem is the year in which inflation peaked public sector demand was as low as it'd been for nearly a decade.

They lost seats regardless!!!
Greens lost almost half of their six Legislative Assembly seats the ACT

Greens lost one of the two they held in Qld

Some Greens demands weren't feasible nor doable After disastrous showing in ACT & Qld the Greens suddenly want to be seen as 'responsible' They could have passed the Housing Bill & we would have had 'something' which is better than 'nothing' Instead they played games with pie in the sky demands

I’m listening to Rick Morton’s Mean Streak - it’s about Robodebt saga. It’s a true crime thriller where we all know who the perps are. Honestly, Australians need to see some consequences from this mendacious cruel policy assault on hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people. We are owed that much!

Hello. This is your friendly reminder to tax the churches.
