@SaiKate108 Get off it! GR is part of the whole crooked mix. They’re all nothing but a bunch of rent seekers bleeding the public purse. All part of the trickle down economics BS.
Join us this Saturday in Brighton for a full day of MMT workshop. Steven Hail, Patricia Pino, Christian Reilly and Sheridan Kates will walk you through Finding the Money, Anti-Austerity Economics for the UK.

I asked an economist what happens to money when the government spent it.
He refused to answer. He gave me this instead (preview/link to his post below)
If your business supplies the government things, that money the government spends, pays for you and your employees. It literally puts money in your pockets.
Why wouldn't an economist want to tell you that, and instead attack MMT?
@Ausbobsmit Mining CO’s are always spending money to buy a social license. Nothing new about that. You can’t take them seriously. All part of doing business that’s all.
Former environment minister Peter Garrett will lead a public inquiry into the Australian Government’s $368 billion AUKUS defence pact, amid growing concerns over the lack of scrutiny surrounding the nation’s most expensive defence project.

My piece in the @GuardianAus today arguing govts can't afford to repeat the mistakes they made with the gas industry.
With huge investment in data centres - why aren't we asking what this is all for and how Australians are going to benefit from it?
If we do want data centres and multinational tech giants are going to use Australian land, Australian energy, Australian water & Australian workers to build the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution, then Australians deserve a fair return.
That's the lesson we failed to learn with gas. We shouldn't wait another generation to learn it again.

🔴 Énorme DINGUERIE encore des États-Unis...
L'arbitre somalien Omar Artan 🇸🇴 s'est vu refuser son entrée aux États-Unis, alors qu'il est sensé officier pendant la Coupe du Monde ! 🙄
Malgré l'aide appuyée de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi, qui lui a fourni un PASSEPORT DIPLOMATIQUE, M. Artan a dû faire demi tour à son arrivée aux USA.
On parle d'une personne qui a été élue MEILLEUR ARBITRE AFRICAIN EN 2025 ! 🤦♂️

The Govt was ordered to disclose politically sensitive #AUKUS nuclear waste site info, but @AlboMP’s has instead launched a nuclear strike on transparency with significant #FOI fallout. @DavidShoebridge has called it an “ugly precedent in secrecy”. #auspol https://t.co/uIzLBhzRbz
Next question...How much did it cost the country when these criminals cancelled the french contract..And why did they go with the USA #Morrison#Dutton#Aukus
Prof Jeffrey Sachs, American economist and public policy analyst. Columbia University:
"AUKUS is designed to bill the Australian taxpayers and enrich the US military industrial complex. You have been had Australia, sorry to tell you. And your politicians should own up it."
FOI to die? Albanese’s nuclear strike on transparency and why we should all be worried. Thanks to @MrRexPatrick for pressing in here https://t.co/iZMB8N4GIa via @MichaelWestBiz
