When I am not the presence experiencing the moment we call life, I am a bunch of labels.

[Tracey Holmes @TraceyLeeHolmes]

First Nations people issued a letter to all Australians, called ‘statement from the heart’. They asked to be recognised in the constitution. In a national vote the people of Australia overwhelmingly rejected them. #TheVoice For those who never bothered reading it before voting, here it is…

If you are a disheartened Australian, do not let this backward step live long in your heart. Tomorrow the sun will rise and you will have another opportunity to push toward a better tomorrow.

6) Central banks use of interest rates as a tool to regulate the #economy only serves to suffocate the low and middle class leading to #recession

I guess I better talk to my MP to get this all sorted out, right?

Great episode ⁦⁦@ProfSteveKeen⁩! My take away:
1) #Inflation is the struggle over the distribution of income & is largely caused by wage growth, productivity, & business markups.
2) Markups are the only factor not scrutinised or even recorded! https://t.co/l2pLEfht6H

5) Monetary policy (#InterestRates) will not address the cause of this inflation, fiscal policy needs to address markups (first step would be to begin recording markups).

@dickster1907 I agree

@ProfSteveKeen what are your views on Australian Government’s new housing legislation? https://t.co/5oGCFKofMR

[Luke @lukas_shields]

@ProfSteveKeen, how do you recommend regular Australian citizens communicate with their elected government representatives to move away from harmful and destructive neoclassical economics?

#asksbstdf so there is a feed zone and a waste zone. Is there a *merde* zone?

#asksbstdf what determines whether a group is called the peloton? Is it the majority of the riders?

@SimoLove @JoshFrydenberg @Birmo @SkyNewsAust Good to see they are committed to honesty and transparency… #ICAC

Barnaby’s takeaway message whilst addressing the National Press Club #auspoll2022

[Luke @lukas_shields]

Housing is both a human right and a profitable asset, yet negatively proportional. Which do you choose to prioritise?

@StevenHailAus who is advising them? I am always hearing from experts on the radio or on the news about deficits and debt. and I am always having to search you and @ProfSteveKeen for your opinion as they clearly don't understand what is going on.

Companies donate for greater access. Over time this access turns into influence. This is undermining our democracy.

@InsidersABC @David_Speers @PatsKarvelas @vanOnselenP @Matt_KeanMP @mpbowers @ellinghausen @ABCTV @Matt_KeanMP sounded like he used the same policy the greens presented many years ago. Shame it’s come so late.
