John Barilaro makes no apology for giving $10 million to Visy industries (owned by Australia's richest family, the Pratt's) for bushfire recovery while the Blue Mountains community received nothing.
Not sure how happy staff will be with the news that @MonashUni made a $259m surplus whilst making 277 staff redundant in 2020. Genuine #COVID crisis-led redundancies + poor financial planning? Or simply opportunistic terminations? Pub test fail @NTEUNational @NTEUVictoria
BREAKING: The Head of the Office of Local Government has just admitted that more than $200 mill in grants were handed out to Liberal and National electorates WITHOUT ANY ASSESSMENT of the merit of the projects. This is the biggest & most blatant grants rort in NSW history.
I wish there was more explicit thinking about the costs of different COVID interventions (NOT only economic costs; societal costs, costs to short & long-term well being, etc). The numbers below are placeholders that you can improve upon but in my head there's a matrix like this:
@TimWilsonMP@IndustrySuper You use your super at 40 to buy an overpriced house.
At 65, you retire and are forced to reverse mortgage a deteriorating asset just to survive.
Tim wants you to be owned by his donors (the big banks) until death.
Meanwhile, Tim gets 15.4% super and 4 houses.
@TimWilsonMP@IndustrySuper Man who has created nothing tries to tear down one of the great initiatives of our time. This time super, next time Medicare?
I still #StandWithFarmers and support their peaceful protest.
No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest
The sad thing about disinformation is that once the truth comes out, the damage has already been done. People have already been misled, radicalized & believe lies to a point where their hatred has brewed to violence.
That’s what led to the 6th, and it’s happening right now.
@TimWilsonMP@JaneCaro Tim, when the LNP see fit to limited negative gearing to one investment property of limited value, and all politicians received the same % of Super that the rest of the country receives, AND the pension rate is permanently increased to a dignified level, then we’ll listen to you
