If you transported today's Liberals to the 1960s when these projects were being developed, all of them would have opposed City Loop, West Gate Bridge, and the power stations.

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.

There's always a price with Trump, even if it comes in the form of owing him a favor.
I can't help but wonder . . . what has the notoriously corrupt FIFA already gotten (or hopes to get) in exchange for its silly award to flatter the perpetually needy Donald Trump?

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

If you're standing next to someone saying racist shit like this you have two choices:
1. Call them out.
2. Walk away.
Standing there silently makes you complicit. Give us a list of every one of these useless fuckwits.

It's WILD that the people who use defamation law to bully and silence critics seem to be immune from it themselves. He's making very clearly defamatory claims about specific people here, with no restraint. Defamation law is a tool of the powerful to silence criticism, nothing more. Abolish it.
