My father first arrived in Australia on a boat called HMT Dunera - as one of the 2542 British internees (or so-called "enemy aliens") on September 6, 1940 in Sydney. This is to remember him and the great men who are the Dunera Boys. My father is in the beige sports jacket in the
@TheElders@JuanManSantos@HelenClarkNZ@G_MachelTrust@DenisMukwege The US are agreement incapable - perhaps you should study international history since the start of the UN. They also do not abide by international law. The people of the US have to first accept what they have done since their socalled"Declaration of Independence" 250 years ago
@AmboRudd Don't let the US take advantage of us. Look what it's doing to Ukraine (it's supposed ally), in Western Asia, in South America. Extracting wealth and causing destruction and misery all for a handful of oligarchs. This isn't what Australia is.
@AmboRudd one US policy that there is no dissent on by all in the US national security establishment is to weakenChina. This is being done by massive buildup in the Pacific where they are trying to find choke points forChinese shipping and trade. Do we really want to be part of the madness
@sallymcmanus There really only is authoritarian public capitalism and private capitalism. Those that actually do the producing never get a say only the 1%ers that don't produce anything. What is needed is shift to fully democratic, worker self directed work places, one vote, one worker.
@sallymcmanus Capitalism doesn't work for the majority. It's inefficient and ineffective. Workers are more productive and more efficient than ever before and yet despite this 10% of the world's population owns about 80% of the world's wealth (see https://t.co/tWhv6XTtv6)
@sallymcmanus Typical for a capitalist; keep a ready supply of people out of work willing to accept lower paid jobs. @AlboMP and @Tony_Burke how about giving employment to the unemployed through useful government jobs. Employment is a human right, or? There should be no unemployment ever
@AdamofDarkness4 @AlboMP@SenatorWong They are trading partners. Probably the renminbi used as international currency. It would be madness not to be part of what most likely will be a very strong economic block. Interestingly China has already brokered a deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Securing raw material flow
@sallymcmanus Absolutely.Workers are working harder, longer, and producing more surplus value than they ever have on salaries that haven't kept up with the cost of living for decades.While the 1%ers continue to take all those hard earned profits for just themselves and their lackeys.
@Veelana@CrabbBrendan Over which period is it catching up? The difference between Africa and the rest of the world is the same over the last 70 years at least. Infact it's widened since the 50's. So when do you predict their life expectancy will be the same as ours? When they have money?
@DanielAndrewsMP I believe there is one in south Africa that will or does manufacture mRNA. see WHO announcement from 21 June 2021 here: @CrabbBrendan

@Neopseudo @IAmPoliticsGirl Well very shaky ground if there is as a result, willful mass violence, destruction of public and private property, injury, and death. And especially in real legal jeopardy if one defames a company, or persons just like that right wing host recently, let alone inciting Jan 6. :)
@Globalbiosec this indicates that one can get excellent marks by not understanding anything as certainly gpt-3 and the like have no physical connection and concept. It means that wrote learning is all that's required to do "well" at a bog-standard university level. Then why have such exams
@CrabbBrendan Oh the .01 percenters like to feel important and taken care of at no expense too high. In fact the higher the expense the better as the only index of worth for them is money. The most expense means the best. It has absolutely nothing to do with covid, just an excuse to pamper.
@CrabbBrendan Like the UK data? Difficult to see any trends if not properly adjusted. Harder also if the period of updates varies and their definitions change or data taking becomes lax with time. Who knows what is therefore going on in such countries that no longer provide usable data. Do we?
