Australia's 178 billionaires are $25.7bn richer than last year as 3.7 million live in poverty.
But if you believe NewsCorpse a modest pay rise for low income earners will kill us all.
@SenatorClaire@salltweets Im sorry Tasmania voted you in. Racist. Sexist. ZERO concern for the high rate of people requiring social services in Tasmania.
The union movement was enmeshed with the pro-Israel lobby back in the day of Bob Hawke, (the senior Leiblers, etc)
Aust unions rely on the Israel lobby, financially and politically
There are numerous Labor/union/Israel groups in Australia, (which is strange in itself). They market themselves as friendly dialogue groups, while all the while working at keeping the union movement to heel
They're very effective of course, as we can see by the evidence in front of us of the Australian union movement's total evasion of the Israel-Gaza issue
We’re fast approaching a situation in Australia where nobody, no matter what their expertise, is allowed to speak publicly unless they support Israel either overtly, or with silent complicity.
Brian surgeons, academics, performers, autism representatives - it doesn’t matter what your field is - if you’ve supported Palestine opposed genocide or criticised Israel, nothing else about you matters - your expertise, your contribution to society, your talent - IT DOESN’T MATTER.
How can you let this disgraceful apartheid continue to develop in our country @AlbMP?
@newscomauHQ Tell the whole story. Beer sales at an 80 year low. Taxes for spirits are higher. 1 million less beer drinkers and 20 craft microbreweries in Tas. Lion have not invested in Boag whereas Cascade received an AUD $10.3 million upgrade in 2018 to become a craft beer hub.
