ABC journalism why don’t you do an article about those Australians with less than $100,000 in superannuation? Pity the farmers with 5.5 million? Because they don’t want to pay some tax? Nope. Not feeling any sympathy in my bones. Labor, hurry up and bring about real economic change.
Super changes will hit those with millions but they say the impact could be devastating
This farming family has millions in super but proposed reforms have left them in a position where they may have to sell the farm.

They are trying on this environmental bastardry globally, it seems. In the UK, the USA … in Australia (in Queensland particularly) developers just love the word ‘offset’. Pay some cash and put up a parking lot.

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot

As an Australian here in this Bluesky space, I’ve been intrigued by references to books banned in the many schools and states in the US at the moment - The Handmaid’s Tale, the Colour Purple… obviously the power of ideas is something the oligarchs hope to lock in a drawer. Keep reading and resist!💚

Australia is selling its gas to Japan so cheaply, that Japan is selling it again to other countries!
But Big Gas wants us to think we have a shortage problem, not an export problem.
