While the media and political class fixate on tinkering with superannuation, a new report finds that 1 in 7 Australians are living in #poverty.

And it's 1 in 6 children.

In such a wealthy nation, this is an obscene policy choice. #inequality #RaiseTheRate #auspol

Trump will no doubt throw a tantrum when Albo visits in a couple of weeks.

That's true. Despite the destruction the hostages survived.

In the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s there were hardly ANY homeless.

As you say ppl with mental problems were looked after & didn't have to live on the streets.

But now not all homeless have mental problems or druggies - just normal people who can't afford a home. #auspol

Good old Paul Keating who brought in Neoliberalism thus eroding the middle class in favor of the wealthy.

Between him and little Johnny Howard they screwed Australia.

Aust didn't have homeless ppl until 20 yrs ago.

Now we, and our kids, are in danger of becoming homeless every day.

How did we screw Australia? Where did we go wrong?

All past 20yrs of Fed Govts should be ashamed of what they have done. #auspol

After this 4C episode I wonder what reception Albo will get?

Maggie @warblingon.bsky.social · 19h

I found it disappointing 4C only concentrated on Bitcoin that 95% of ppl don't understand.

Reality is he is blackmailing the whole world with his tarrifs into allowing his family businesses to take root in other countries.

Not everyone CAN read the article because it's under a pay-wall.

If it want's people to comment on articles it should make them free to read or FO out of the public arena.

Doesn't matter if same sex, if you don't have an intimate relationship out of bed you're not going to get one in bed.

Was the point I was making. FMD

#ABC Middle East correspondent Matt Doran says Israel has been throwing tear gas at crowds gathering to greet freed Palestinian hostages in Gaza & demanded “they weren't to congregate, they weren't to celebrate the moment those Palestinians were released from Israeli jails”

Anyone protesting should be masked to protect themselves and others. 60% of those with covid are spreading it before they notice symptoms or are asymptomatic so if you’re fighting fascism you shouldn’t be practicing eugenics by spreading illness.

I'm old enough to remember when Allen Bond was our first $Millionaire and he was a crook.

Apparently we don't look into how Aussies accumulate their obscene wealth.

You don't do it by being honest, law-abiding or by luck.

Only criminals (like Trump) can do it...so who are these Aussies? #auspol

How do some ppl get $3M or $10M in Super?

They must have already scammed their Tax obligation to accumulate these $s.

We should look into HOW such ppl got this wealth in the first place. They must be criminals by either avoiding tax or drugs or both. #auspol

Meanwhile Govts allow multi-nationals and big mining to get our of paying fair share of tax.

So it's kill the elderly and enrich the wealthy. Neoliberalsm is the most destructive thing inflicted on the Western world.

Reality is we boomers now in our 70's are not going to be able to afford in-home or nursing homes unless we are $Millionairs.

At some point, before we have a stroke, we have to commit suicide in order to not burden our children with costs to keep us alive in care. #auspol

If the only time you talk to her or share intimacy with her is in bed when you're horny maybe it's your fault.

Women don't want to have sex with any man they can't relate to out of bed too.

The benefit is that now it only costs me $20/week instead of $80/week to enjoy 40 low-tar smokes/week I can afford to buy red meat and veggies again.
