🚨NEW DOCUMENTS: Chemical companies knew the human health dangers of their products in nonstick pans, waterproof clothes & other retail goods - but hid those facts from the public as the cancer-causing toxins became ubiquitous in the water, air, and soil. https://t.co/XtaVdJkVEW
@douglas_lee7@IanAustReach@AdamBandt This may blow your mind but not everything is about making money and how many employees one has. 100s of thousands of dollars to a billionaire is nothing and it shouldn't be up to them where the rightful tax money is allocated.
You don’t get to ‘think about the women and children’ when you locked up women and children on prison islands as they fled war, and you’re currently imprisonning young men seeking safety in hotels instead of welcoming them
Container shipping company profits
First 9 months of 2021: $80 billion

"man, those supply-chain problems and inflation is just killing us"
Another shocking oil pipeline rupture in Ecuador's Amazon, courtesy of @AFrontlines.
Saw this repeatedly on my trips to the area. @Chevron admitted at trial it dumped 15 billion gallons of oil waste into rivers, creating a wave of cancers and birth defects. Now it's even worse.
Josh Frydenberg said today that JobKeeper “did what it was meant to do”.
Was it meant to help Harvey Norman turn a record $841m profit?
A profit so huge that majority shareholder Gerry Harvey personally pocketed $140m?
This is why we need a Tycoon Tax.
I’m done with ‘em. @ScottMorrisonMP gifting hard earned taxpayer money to his business mates & donors makes him the most shameless & unethical PM ever. @JoshFrydenberg’s JK prudential failure makes him the most incompetent Treasurer ever. EPBC discussions over @sussanley! #auspol
@ggreenwald Nobody is forced to download an app. It's a home quarantine trial all with willing participants. Beats 14 days in a shit hotel. As someone trying to get home to Australia sign me up, probs delete the app afterwards lol. Google knows my location and Facebook knows my face...
Harvey Norman will pay back $6m in JobKeeper.
This is a win for all who joined Greens, @ALeighMP & others to demand JobKeeper profiteers pay back $ they took.
But with $841m in profits (up 75%) announced today, $6m isn’t nearly enough.
We need a corporate super-profits tax.
The Taliban retaking Afghanistan in a matter of weeks as September 11th nears is a tragic symbol of the last decades.
Our governments abandoned law to wage fruitless wars, sacrificed our most sacred rights—and trampled the memory of those they claimed to avenge. Was it worth it?
