I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

In Crikey, Catri Menzies-Pike and I wrote about Creative Australia's decision to drop Khaled Sabsabi from the Venice Biennale. If conservative media is going to dictate cultural policy, Creative Australia might as well pack up and call it a day www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/17/k...
Instead of defending its artists, Creative Australia hangs Sabsabi and Dagostino out to dry
If conservative media is going to dictate cultural policy, Australian culture will face a reckoning.

The real ‘magic’ of our beautiful ocean baths is that they’re free to use. They were built by governments that thought long term & thought about providing amenity to citizens
Its not complicated. If we could afford nice things 100 years ago then obviously we can afford them now

Nah.
Tax is good.
Australia is a low-taxing nation.
We should raise more tax and provide better funded services and assistance

It’s worth noting her Tax Green Paper states it will focus on “budget neutral” changes, least over the short term, so she isn’t that interested in addressing the revenue problem. She also clearly states she opposes increases to tax as a % of GDP and “ideally should seek to lower this”
