I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

By lifting the rate of support, child or aged payments it will stimulate growth in areas that have suffered since Covid.
As long as Price Gouging is prosecuted!
Higher middle income & above Australians don't do this.
Their $$ goes to mortgages & consumerables.
Lower income $$ are spread evenly!

The Zionist lawsuits against @marykostakidis.bsky.social John Keane & Nick Riemer are a massive test for free speech in Australia, and costly. We check the claims. Keane kicks off in the morning.

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky

Wiley retracts study stolen by reviewer, following Retraction Watch coverage

A Wiley journal has retracted a paper more than a year after a researcher reported the work was hers and had been stolen by a reviewer for another journal. As we reported in July, Shafaq Aftab, now…

"Which again, brings us back to the question: If $400 was all the money you could count on every week and it didn’t get paid, how do you think that would impact your life? How well do you think you could cope?"

Shame and harm at every JobSeeker turn – and now added AI slop

The system is so convoluted and stacked against people that even if it worked as intended, it would still be not just harmful, but useless.

Yep. And live in non-existent houses that cost $100 a week.
