Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Water privatisation has been a complete & utter failure.
It is absurd that the government's report into the water industry didn't even consider public ownership.
That's not a report. That's a political broadcast for the private sector.
Put water back into public hands, now.

What a chart!
The most common question I get on here is: If tariffs are so bad, why do other countries use them?
The answer: They basically don't.
Most of our trading partners have almost no tariffs, and the few they have are in politically powerful sectors.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
