But #Albanese raised carer wages.. 🤪 (lucky carers).
All he did was raise the price of care (prices went up immediately), no mandated increase in staffing levels, food still crap, access to health services remain abysmal.
There’s bugger all between Liberals & Labor except their publicity department.

Kerry O'Brien on courageous Palestinian journalists and the murder of so many by Israel is remarkable.
Because almost no-one in our craven mainstream media has ever said it publicly.
"no reasonable citizen of the world has been able to look away", says O'Brien.
But too many journos do just that.

What does it say about the calibre…and motivation…of Australian politicians.
IF a truly independent and functional #NACC actually existed, surely an inquiry into this nation’s gas ‘deals’ would be a priority!

The first time that my mind was boggled in my study of #Auspol I saw this live on the ABC. An economist of his standing whose mind was boggled was hard to ignore. And he's telling us we made stupid deals that rip off every Australian. This is why we can't have nice things.

Howard middle class welfare halved capital gains tax on investment properties.
Previously took average of 5 years for homebuyers to save a deposit…today, it’s 10.
This is an appalling legacy for current & future generations.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

It is a TOP priority of the GOP to get rid of vote by mail because they can’t intimidate and challenge voters based on race with mail in voting.
I wish I could believe that Dems will actually fight them on this, but we know Chuck and Hakeem. Whatever the AIPAC position is, is what they will do.
