RBA: “Wages growth has picked up in response to the tight labour market and high inflation.”

Oddly the Reserve Bank of Australia seems not to know that real wages have fallen at a record pace. #auspol

[Max Chandler-Mather @MChandlerMather]

RBA has hiked the cash rate to the highest level in 11 years, punishing mortgage holders & renters for an inflation crisis driven by corporate profiteering. It's well past time for the Fed Gov to use its existing powers to freeze interest rates & coordinate a freeze on rents.

[Greg Jericho @GrogsGamut]

The RBA noted that "services price inflation is still very high"

Sure, but tell me will rates rises bring down the prices of Medical & hospital services? Tertiary & secondary education?
Rents?
Other financial services? Insurance?

Great work, Phil.

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

The RBA has done it again, hiking interest rates to an 11 year high.

Business groups will be keen to blame wages, but remember, excess profits are the main culprit driving this inflation.

@GrogsGamut explains. #auspol

This article by @shanebazzi demonstrates how punitive and wrong Australia’s defamation laws are. What a terrible ordeal. This needs to change. https://t.co/vVbe7hCMN9

[Abigail Boyd @AbigailBoydMLC]

The use of defamation law to stifle expression of public opinion is devastating both for our democracy and for those targeted by the rich and powerful. Defamation law needs urgent reform, as does our expensive and slow court processes. Solidarity @shanebazzi

i legitimately think the average group chat in this country could have run the testing rollout better than the federal government

imagine having seen footage of afghanistan in the last few days, then still deciding to go to a protest to complain about your ‘freedoms being taken away’ here in australia

Brutal news about Sean Lock today.
I loved him. I’m watching clips of him right now - laughing & crying. I’ll miss him so much.

[Jon Richardson @RonJichardson]

I idolised Sean as a comic long before I became a comedian myself and ten years working alongside him didn’t diminish that in the least. An incredible comic brain and a truly unique voice.

This is called insider trading or market manipulation.

It’s a crime. Martha Stewart went to jail for it.

Trump telling his buddies at Mar-a-Shithole about the strike before it happened could have lead to a crime.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Australians can't "stay safe and have fun," because their homes are on fire.

Fossil fuel companies like @exxonmobil created the climate crisis and made wildfires worse.

When we pass a Green New Deal we'll hold fossil fuel executives accountable for the destruction they caused.
