Happy 50th anniversary of the day Australia came fully under the US' imperial control
Whitlam Dismissal take
The greatest achievement of the Dismissal has been the crushing of the ALP’s ambition to actually bring a better world into being.
Hawke sealed the deal by making the mark of success decent management of a capitalist economy.
Now it’s just ambition to be in government.

I'm not convinced this would actually get you fired in Australia
Not sure what to call a political system that empowers an unelected government employee to talk like this about someone who won a municipal runoff election. In most liberal democracies that person would now be looking for work

I still hold the view that they're closer in their class interests to non-propertied people than the capitalist class by virtue of being highly leveraged and at risk of losing their property if they lose their income, yes
I wonder if Jim Malo still thinks landlords are working class?

We're gonna be winning so much everyone will be tired of winning
I've been reporting on markets and the economy for about 15 years now and I audibly gasped when I saw this. This is probably the biggest opening fall I've ever seen in the ASX, maybe even bigger than some of those days in 2020???
