Economies don't exist for the top 1%. Capitalism is as evil as communism as both systems end up with a top 1% very wealthy with the rest expected to be serfs. Exist just to get the top 1% more wealth and power. BOYCOTT THE RICH

We have so many Chinese students - vulnerable kids in a strange country with v different rules. Having taught such students what strikes me is how big an opportunity this is for soft diplomacy.
They are so anxious about critiquing government and being watched. We can show there are options.
Hard agree. We invite these young people here. It's embarrassing to be so parochial about 'foreigners'.
Our housing issues are about tax-exemptions that are grossly unfair and exclusionary. It's about protecting the haves against the have nots.
International students are perhaps the most unfairly attacked demographic in all of Australia. We invite them here. The reason they come is to get an education. Most are incredibly nice people who benefit our country in all sorts of ways. They massively cross-subsidise domestic students.

My fellow Blueys

I'm currently writing the sequel to #Gunnawah and I have a 40-something male character in Dec 1974 driving a sports car of some description. The character is a well-off wanker

Any suggestions on the car? Something shiny and ostentatious would be good

Thanks in advance 🙏🏽

Laws passed last year made what this student did a criminal offence but there is no action on platforms used to make this content - some apps and websites are even set up to specifically make stuff like this. Why isn’t government attacking this on all fronts?

All that 'voluntary' labour from poverty stricken jobseekers helps enable this #auspol
No CEO of any charity should be earning $795,442 pa. Charities should be working to remove the need for the 'charity' they dispense. If not, they are not doing charity, they are doing business in the poverty space

The Heritage Foundation is threatening to go after writers and editors of Wikipedia.

It’s time to donate some more money if you can.

The underlying sentiment of this statement is that the political journals in Australia are so woeful, that this allows the phrase ‘The best’ & David Speers to be used in the same sentence

Obviously said editor is only making this enlightened observation for the traditional mainstream media

#auspol
A top ABC News editor told me with a straight face that David Speers was “arguably the best political journalist in Australia.”

A strong, independent media is one of the only things that can prevent the complete destruction of democracy under a would-be autocrat. These media owners have chosen to look after their own $$$ interests, and in doing so have decided democracy isn’t worth the trouble.

Australian bosses could go to jail for 10 years & be fined $1.65 million if they underpay their workers.

The follows years of underpayment scandals, with cases at prominent employers including Woolworths, Qantas, NAB, BHP & the ABC.

Ps : Note it’s called ‘overreach’ when held accountable.

The ABC could strengthen itself easily:

- Bring back a Lateline format to the 10pm time slot to set the news cycle Mon-Fri

- Train an army of investigative reporters

- Power up iView with more shows & movies

- Reinvigorate local news services & radio

- Remove the tabloid-enthusiasts

If the ABC survives, it will have a better chance if prospering if its chairman and board get things in the right order by concentrating on its legal charter and avoiding things it cannot or should be trying on. #auspol
