Australian tax law has been weaponised to fund a foreign military, via misuse of the Charities Act.
Not to mention that subsidising a military overseen by individuals accused by the ICC of war crimes can be framed as complicity.

Australia is run by landlords for landlords
The national anthem speaks of shared commonwealth, but that wealth was stolen from sovereign First Peoples & locked away from workers & carers
If we shared it we could all thrive. But no
The rage and disgust I feel at this can't easily be put into words

Australia spends more on tax breaks for landlords than social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined
Exclusive: Acoss report shows property investors received $12.3bn in tax concessions in 2025, while the share of social housing dropped to a record low

The coverage and response from the commentariat and our political leadership to the pipe bomb attack at the Invasion Day rally was so muted, that even I didn’t find out about until the next day. But I know about it now and what it says about us a country, so I’ve written about it here for Crikey.
The muted response to the Perth bombing exposes a pattern of national indifference
A failed bomb attack in Perth on Invasion Day drew little attention from the media and public. It shows Australia has long been selective in its sense of danger.

The Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth was targeted and attacked with an explosive device.
The silence from the right has been deafening.
The same politicians who have spent the last month politicising violence are now nowhere to be found.
