Australia, especially under the Liberals but also under Labor, has allowed endemic wealth inequality to take root. This will change this country forever. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Does the DeGoey incident show we need a send-off rule. (Red card). Eagles losing a player and Collingwood get the advantage, because De Goey is a grub.#AFLEaglesPies

Hewett will take no further part in the game. Perfect example of why a red card should be introduced. Not right that De Goey gets to remain in the game. Akin to the Stewart-Prestia incident from last year #AFLEaglesPies

If there is any reason to introduce a blue card situation in the AFL, this is it. The sub rule only helps when there is one available. Introduce an independent doctor to assess and blue card the offender - if there is one. It’s not hard @AFL #afleaglespies
Elijah Hewett came from the ground late in the first quarter following this incident with Jordan De Goey.

And here’s another way: Those members of the ‘protected Secretaries club’ that fail to meet KPI’s get their contract extended, while retired secretaries get appointed to oversight boards to give advice on areas they themselves previously failed to perform in. #auspol #Jobs4Mates

Here’s how #Jobs4Mates is done in the APS Secretaries circle: The $1.2M Secretary of @pmc_gov_au talks to the $942K Secretary of @DefenceAust about finding a place for $890K Secretary Kathryn Campbell, then seeks the tick-off from the $794K @PublicServiceAU Commissioner. #auspol

"The govt is set to lose $157 billion over the next 10 yrs on negative gearing, handouts for landlords".
Keeping older women & families homeless is a political choice. Housing in Oz has moved from a human right to an investor's playground.

Finland have dropped their price of electricity to 0 .. Because they are generating too much and need to offload it.
They were reliant on Russian oil Just 13 Months ago but ramped up renewables.
Don't tell carbon investing Tories with their hands in Shell / BP pockets.

Sally McManus isn't buying the RBA's 'solution' to the rental crisis given their interest rate increases are part of the problem.
Particularly when CEOs are still trying on the wage-price spiral bullshit to keep wages low and protect their bonuses.

“Get another share house”
“Skip the smashed avo”
Why is it that young people are always the ones told to do more and cut more to afford basic housing.
Meanwhile property moguls continue to ranking in $billions from Government inaction and unfair tax breaks 😡

This is worth a read. It raises serious questions about the integrity of the AUKUS submarine deal and the role of Crosby Textor that need to be resolved before Australia spends another cent.
Crosby Textor is the common link in Morrison's AUKUS deal crikey.com.au/2023/05/31/auk…

Linda Reynolds staff took classified documents.
Unlike Boyle and I, they won’t be jailed.
This is because they did it to hide Govt crime, not reveal it.
“Coalition staffers took classified documents after election loss Labor claims in Senate estimates:
Labor’s Anne Urquhart tells estimates Services Aust investigatd two staff in Linda Reynolds’ office for transferring data off government network”

$180 million and five years later the Tax Office and the Federal Police are dragged screaming to an investigation of PwC! This story would have been buried forever if not for an inquisitive journalist. Who’s protecting PwC?
