Jobseeker is now worse than it was during the Howard years, in terms of how far it sits below the poverty line
New analysis from @TheAusInstitute: https://t.co/rqrimmwXIo
Press Club last minute banning a journalist from asking a question out of fear she might ask Pauline Hanson a difficult question should be the final nail in the coffin for this bullshit event where media people just rub shoulders with the powerful
Everyone knew this would happen.
The murderous occupier will double down on its Palestinian genocide, in a blood-lust tantrum. The West will continue to ignore this. Expansionism will continue unabated.

i cant believe we are 24 hours into ppl going 'you dont think hanging a banner is violence the police needs to investigate, well would you say that if instead the protesters set off a bomb'
like wow you got me, my line for violence is somewhere between a banner and a bomb
Intention isnt2 boost consciousness about class inequality. I do wanna point out functions of classes- 1 exploits the other. But we know most of that. "Raising consciousness" is sometimes a cop out, that leads2acceptance
My point is to illustrate the path to change the situation
Every $50 prints more than 1,000 leaflets. Every $100 buys 10 yard signs. We'll never get the kind of media coverage that Hanson and Co. get (because the media bosses want to boost them). We rely on the backing of our members and supporters to get our message out!
From the Age today:
Omar Hassan, a Victorian Socialist candidate and rally organiser, said protesters had
"watched with horror as this far-right, racist party has gained support and prominence", but would now be "taking our chance to mobilise strongly and let the world know that a party bought and paid for by Gina Rinehart, which votes against wage rises, supports devastating wars overseas and bigotry at home, is not welcome in Melbourne".
"If Hanson and Joyce are too cowardly to show up tonight, then we will claim that as a victory against racism and the billionaires.”
They did not show up in Moonee Ponds that’s for sure
Idk the next time someone says ‘change takes time, they just need another term’ I’m just going to point at Mamdani. He’s doing the job so well for ordinary New Yorkers (majority of the population) that he’s hit celeb status by just doing what he said he would do.
