Old, white, Aussie male. Don't blame me. I'm woke, empathic, and left. Economics and politics sustain me, nature and science thrill me.

Labor should have addressed right wing bias in Aus media when they first got in. Instead, they’ve left the Murdoch toadies in charge at the abc, and done nothing about the concentration of media ownership.

At the same time that corporate propaganda has taught us to hate being a recipient of social programs, it turns out corporations love NOTHING MORE than being a recipient of federal bailouts & subsidies.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Australian federal government doesn't spend 'taxpayer dollars'
They spend by creating new currency
So they don't have to 'take it from somewhere else'
So they have no excuses
IF THEY DON'T SPEND, IT IS 100% THEIR CHOICE
Lack of spending is usually based on politics, not economics

Please watch. Please share.

Witnesses said ICE slammed on their brakes, causing the red car to rear-end them.
This is the pretense ICE used to brutalize these citizens.
