Why does the Australian government keep penalising working families with extra taxes on very very modest incomes? You realise this is a big part of why people don’t want to have more kids and we are a population of dinosaurs.

Really really tired of the increased amount of taxes I pay for having a child and working, the Centrelink system needs a Royal Commission and an update into 2025 as it’s still stuck in the 1900’s. You are literally giving me suicidal thoughts thinking about it @albomp.bsky.social #centrelink

The latest horror out of Gaza shows both sides of the conflict continuing to openly flout intl rules of war with the IDF killing clearly identified paramedics & UN aid workers while Hamas still refuses to release the remaining hostages.

How can this be allowed to continue

This election looks again like seeing migrants blamed for housing prices. But as @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social writes, the facts don't back that up.

At all.

Instead, we need to look at our tax system that has
turned housing into speculation #OffTheCharts

Companies are posting job ads for market research to see who they can find for cheaper. Our government needs to start fining companies that put fake job ads as it affects unemployment. Companies are also firing locals for no reason just to give visas to cheap labour from overseas. #australia #jobs

Seriously #Australia, why are there certificates for so many unskilled jobs? I’ve spent thousands of dollars on little training courses and still can’t find a #job. Why do I need #certificates when I have years of personal experience? #Scam.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Looking at the people fighting the good fight (while I myself as too scared to do it publicly).
Dare to take on the Australian Information Commissioner to see why we don’t have the same

Ahead of next week, remember budgets are all about choices.

Right now the govt is choosing to have people on HECS/HELP pay 4 times more than gas companies do on PRRT. @jack-thrower.bsky.social has the numbers #OffTheCharts

Anyone telling you that we need to drill for more gas to fix a domestic gas shortage is lying.

There's one way to ensure more gas and lower energy bills for Australians, and that's to cut exports.

As the Gaza body count increases, I wonder how all these supposed 'leftists' & self-styled 'contrarians' who berated me for not applauding Trump for bringing about a 'ceasefire' and 'peace' feel today.

Like fools, I hope.

Because they are indeed fools: they believed Trump.

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids.

The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids.

"Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel.

Sigh.

Australia collects more revenue from HECS than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax.

Australia doesn’t have a gas "shortage" crisis. It has an integrity crisis.

This week AEMO will release its annual Gas Statement of Opportunities.
