@DougCameron51 Excellent! But, why should it take a crowd-funded independent public inquiry? This ill-considered (U.S. sycophantic) $368b Morrison legacy should never have been adopted & should be put to a public vote. This money would be better spent on social housing, etc.

DATA CENTRE REGULATION LEGISLATION IS URGENT Energy and water intensive data centres must be heavily regulated. They must be self-sufficient in both energy & water; their energy source must be strictly renewable & their water source must be by desalination

Three steps to housing affordability: 1. Reverse the last 45 years of neoliberal economic elitism (i.e. return to Keynesian economics); 2. Redirect much of the $368b AUKUS folly into Social Housing; 3. Give renters the option of buying their social housing

A NACC ‘reset’ must include: a. legislating to mandate public hearings; b. making the process for selecting a successor merit-based & membership of the selection panel public; c. RE-HEARING THE ROBODEBT INQUIRY - all (esp the latter) TO REGAIN PUBLIC TRUST

Excellent summary by Kos Samaras of burgeoning inequality due to 45 years of deeply iniquitous neoliberal ideology (via Mont Pelerin Society Hayek/Friedman '79 UK '81 USA), manifesting in Australia, with polls indicating a deep divide & rise of One Nation

@DougCameron51 Agree 💯%

WHY ARE THEY AFRAID OF AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY? The NT Police rejected calls for an independent inquiry, refused to stand the officers down or release CCTV footage of the incident as demanded by White’s family led by his grandfather Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves

Rightwing operatives have registered fake progressive parties to steal votes and funnel preferences to One Nation in Victoria. But there’s a fix already on the table – and Victorians have a chance to get it passed before November. Add your name ✍️ https://t.co/iF5xnpwr6z

@DougCameron51 We urgently need a Royal Commission into media bias!

Australia urgently needs a Royal Commission into media bias. Until then:

Australia must SANCTION ISRAEL IMMEDIATELY, then move to boycott, divest-from & cut diplomatic ties with, this rogue state, for its (ICC ICJ declared) genocide of Palestinians. It is not enough for Wong to just condemn a 'shocking' video taunting detainees https://t.co/HzX7xjSWty

Extreme individualism v collective egalitarianism. The angry disgruntlement, the demise of the social contract is now white hot, fuelled by 40 years of neoliberal inequity, with another round of inflation punishing those barely holding on. Right or Left?

Negative gearing is scrapped for anyone not buying a new house. 50% capital gains tax discount reverts to being linked to inflation. These changes reduce the enormous tax concessions encouraging speculation on the property market – pushing up house prices

It's FASCISM that bans phrases, monitors journalists, defunds cultural institutions that express dissent, authorises police to arrest citizens for words on clothing - ALL under legislation protecting a foreign government from criticism

There is now no doubt as to which side One Nation is on. It's not on the side of the battlers. Hanson is now a “wholly-owned subsidiary” of Rinehart. Whenever she is asked to vote in the interest of Aussie battlers, she votes in the interests of Rinehart.

The Israeli lobby has bought our democracy. Australia’s sovereignty is routinely violated by Israel, our institutions subject to their interference. Andrew Brown presents a case for a Royal Commission into Zionist influence in Australia
