Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

Labor has just voted AGAINST granting super to workers under 18.
The Greens amendment would have seen all workers under 18 have the right to superannuation contributions, regardless of how many hours they worked.

Tony Abbott’s warped story of Australia
Tony Abbott’s history of Australia is a version that sanitises the worst effects of colonialism and immigration policy, and leans into the destructive doctrine of Trump.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The National Press Club's members are mostly journalists, editors and news managers.
There have been several examinations of the #NPC 's sponsors, but as far I am aware, all by independent media.
The Club membership's silence is a testament to mainstream media's cowardice. Or complicity. #auspol

Of those, ten are multinational weapons manufacturers or military services corporations, & another eleven provide services to the arms industry”.

We live in a democracy - nominally
But have you noticed something?
The duopoly ideology .. it determines what you should think, say, believe. An ideology that did NOTHING to address GENOCIDE globally
The majority voted for IDEOLOGY - and further eroded democracy

Do you notice how nobody’s losing their jobs or getting deported for criticising the genocidal atrocities in Sudan?
