When your “affordable” housing scheme says it’s 20% less than market rent but is actually around 15% more than market rent in Bondi beach but then also the eligibility requirements prevent anyone from actually accessing this particular rental, it’s truly an incredible scheme

Lots of "I don't understand why people hate Starmer" posts on my timeline today.
This.
This is why people hate Starmer.
His unequivocal support for genocide.

SA Labor politicians voting to restrict access to abortion - absolutely atrocious. These people are demonstrating in real time that they will not challenge the far right, but will instead take up their positions if and when it suits them.

It was also Labor that wholeheartedly backed the white Australia policy the whole way through

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

Labor's moral depravity on full display. Trump threatens to inflict a holocaust on Iran and all they can muster is calls for "all parties to act within international humanitarian law". Meanwhile, the US continues to use facilities like Pine Gap to coordinate its terror. Shameful.

Disaster capitalism on steroids

Spiking fertilizer prices have brought back the specter of a new world food crisis.

Meanwhile the stocks of a handful of companies that control the fertilizer market are surging.

Trump: "When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.”

That's true. The US was the biggest beneficiary of 2022 record fossil fuel profits globally.

But the question is, who in the US are the winners: It's the rich. The top 1% get 50% of the profits, the bottom 50% only 1%.

@thmsenglsh @diebartdie7 We should all be like you, we might change the world. Don't build/attend protests or attempt to win anyone to any politics ever. Call the people who do that grifters.

[Sean McLachlan @sean_mac27]

@alex_callinicos People might find this helpful, in the absence of a thorough response to Anderson's critique.

My statement in response to the racist decision to cancel me from Adelaide Writers' Week.

[Purplepingers ☭ @purplepingers]

Jumping on Instagram to see a young socialist shout that genocide is bad and then seeing a group of well-adjusted labor students laugh in her face and start chanting like a pack of rabid dogs makes me really confident in the future bureaucracies that these pigs will occupy

[Sean McLachlan @sean_mac27]

@monashposting @Sox_Dud So calling Mamdani's strategy a dead end for socialist politics is co-opting?

[Sean McLachlan @sean_mac27]

@pebluB @lucas_g_m88 Can guarantee you those who call everyone else pseudo-socialists probably have little grasp on socialist politics.

[Sean McLachlan @sean_mac27]

@buttholefactory NDIS is a rotten system designed to line the pockets of providers, exploiting disabled people and support workers alike. It keeps disabled people in poverty, denies them essential care. We should oppose Labor's cuts while fighting for a universal public system.

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

Reminder that Starmer enthusiastically defended Israel’s food and water siege on Gaza

[NSW Socialists @nsw_socialists]

Western leaders are once again peddling lies about WMDs to justify war. Albanese is backing the only nuclear-armed power in the Middle East (Israel) and the only power thats dropped a nuclear bomb (the US) as it bombs nuclear power stations risking a new Chernobyl-style disaster.

[Sean McLachlan @sean_mac27]

@salvationichor Not relevant enough for you? Or too complicit to care.

[Victorian Socialists @vic_socialists]

Kicking off our 2025 conference with a unanimous vote expressing our solidarity with the people of Palestine and commitment to continue the struggle against Israel's genocide and the Australian government's complicity in it. ✊🇵🇸

They march, block traffic, march, stop outside city or federal buildings, hurl insults at police, and then march again.
