We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

Looks to me like the SA government has leased prime public land to Walker Corp at $1/yr for 100 years. Despite many requests, Labor refuses to hand over the figures on its dealings with Walker Corp, talking ‘commercial in confidence’. What does Labor not want us to know?
