The demonisation and ‘othering’ of any group of people is not just wrong, it is lethal. We all know where it leads. No politician who uses this rhetoric should never get within cooee of office. https://t.co/whki3bpxcF
In the second half of September 1922, Greeks living in Smyrna were targeted for genocide by Turkish Kemalist forces. On September 26th, 28th, and 29th, all Greek and Armenian males aged 18-45 were identified as enemies of the Turkish state, with the majority being killed.
My great-grandparents, along with their children, including my grandfather, managed to escape to the island of Lesvos.
Over 100 years later, their descendants, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, remain part of the rental class. Only one broke this cycle: a great-grandson who, through the chance decision of a granddaughter to migrate to Australia, purchased his first home at age 35.
Like the U.S, Australia is a land where lives are positively changed.
My great grand parents lived well into the 90s. So did their children. Their grandchildren, including my mum are currently in their 70s.

I do not for the life of me understand why the Robodebt thing has spluttered to a halt in secrecy and silence. Why aren’t the guilty being hung, drawn and quartered ? Your thoughts ?
@KosSamaras NG and CGT need to be sorted properly. Fiddling at the edges is akin to an Anti littering campaign where the potential litter is in abundance with a clean up day annually. Remove the source of the litter.
@KosSamaras@BroOfHoppers "Gough called it “crash through or crash”. He meant it and he lived it and, as a consequence, the Whitlam government became the best of times" If not the $$$ Hungry Boomers will get Neutron man ☢
@MikeCarlton01 When those tradies tragically lost their lives during the ceiling insulation endeavor, RWNJ's bayed for blood. They wanted Peter Garrett's head on a pike.
2,000 RoboDebt suicides....crickets.
RWNJ politicians are nothing but grotty little pieces of shit.
