Absolutely pathetic emergency evacuation centre, but what do you expect from the NT Government. They are racist, fascist and couldn't care less about homeless people or anyone in a dire situation. The NT Government is a law unto itself.

From the river to the sea, and anywhere else he goes, David Crisafulli is a fascist dickhead

Capitalism is the belief that you can let the richest people run the world.

It's what we have.

What many people seem to want is Democratic Socalism where elected Governments really control things.

Or just Socialism where we don't have any people rich enough to run anything

It's so hard to stay on social media, so much shitfuckery going on in the world 😞

A really interesting article…

One Man vs BHP’s Army of Lawyers | The West Report - Michael West David v Goliath. Simon Turner v BHP. A coal miner breaks his back at work. What follows is years of legal battles, redactions, and a courtroom process the public was never meant to fully see. We exam...

David v Goliath court battle. Coal miner Simon Turner v BHP & big coal. Muzzled, "wild accusations", no transcripts. Is this our 'system of justice'?

Dear Australians.

How's this for an idea?

Let's stop walking into the polling booth and voting for people who do the most terrible things to us.

It really is up to us.

But, the Albanese Labor Government has just sold the Australian nation down the river. Lock, stock and barrel to the Israel/US governments.

The Labor myths are now dead.

Exactly

@albomp this is leadership. You could learn from people like this.

It's BS. AI generated image with completely fabricated info.

They all have their noses in the same trough

Australia obsesses over "welfare dependency".
Meanwhile govt support for wealth includes:
Superannuation tax concessions $52B
Capital gains tax discount $11B
Negative gearing $5B
That's about $68 billion a year, mostly benefiting the richest Aussies.
That's the welfare worth talking about.

Nah, he would put tarrifs on tomatoes...

At some point in your life you wake up and realize that actually your country is not one of the 'good guys' in fact it is one of the worst countries in the world and it uses all its power and wealth to abuse weaker countries and poorer people

If you haven't woken up, you should

Eliminate lobbying. All it is is bribery by another name.

Care work is the foundation of civilisation.
Childcare.
Aged care.
Disability support.
Health care.
Mostly women.
Underpaid.
Emotionally brutal work.

Meanwhile a handful of rich men extract billions and call themselves "job creators".
The system is upside down.

Same with all care in this country, sadly

Yes, I agree. I was just trying to test the reactions 😅

You are talking with someone who sadly believes a full on revolution is becoming the only real answer.

Fuel crisis - Government’s playbook revealed - Michael West Rex Patrick obtained the government's Fuel Security crisis document on FOI. What happens when petrol prices from the Iran war rise too high?

Yes, there's a plan for fuel crisis. The Govt spent $150k trying to stop @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social FOI to get it. Here it is - published with link to worse case

• public funding models that reduce donor dependence

Otherwise every reform gets slowly strangled by the oligarchy.

If we want fairness, we have to reduce the ability of wealth to buy outcomes.

We must push for:

• caps on political donations
• real-time donation transparency
• tighter lobbying rules
• stronger corruption oversight
• bans on the revolving door between politics and industry in key sectors

There was a time. My mum’s generation. She went to uni for free and even received a stipend to study. Both my parents were broke poor and they both got free uni education in Australia in the 70’s before I was born

No more guns and wars. Enough.

Screenshot of a tweet by Jessica Grace (@IsIcaLynn). The text reads: “I find that a lot of anti-socialist sentiment boils down to a basic belief that people are lazy and won’t do good in the world or work hard unless they are suffering. I believe the opposite. I think most people would do amazing things if they weren’t in dire straits constantly.”

One of the biggest divides in politics is what you believe about people. Some think humans only work if they’re desperate. Others think people thrive when they’re secure. I’m firmly in the second camp.

Happy #socialistSunday to those who observe 🙂

If only
- every public building had solar panels
- every home had subsidised insulation
- every motorway had passing vehicles powering wind turbines
- every stream had micro-hydro-turbines

Subsidised by
every fossil fuel mogul
paying £billions
from profiteering
& tax avoidance

• trial a 4-day work week in parts of the economy

• raise income support so people are not forced into desperation

People should not be one broken car or one rent rise away from collapse!!

A fair country needs working people to have bargaining power again.

We must:

• strengthen unions and collective bargaining

• curb sham contracting and gig exploitation

• make wage theft enforcement brutal

• lift minimum standards across insecure sectors
