Fat cat salaries and the secretive Remuneration Tribunal - Michael West
Our top civil servants are being paid exceptionally well by international standards, more than our Prime Minister and the ministers.

A real quick way for a PM to stop a big supermarket price gouging would be to make them ineligible for govt contracts.
And, then tell everyone what you did & why you did it.
The rest will just happen organically. You watch how bloody quick price gouging stops

There is no such thing as a safe seat.
Demand politicians earn your vote.
Don't accept mediocrity.
Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies.
Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities.
If it's a priority, it is always affordable.

All of my life I have had a deep respect & affection for people of the Jewish faith. My grandmother spoke Yiddish, I lived in a mixed community.
I have no respect for Christian Zionists, Zionists per se. A racist supremacist cult, a political ideology of oppression & violence.

Arnold Bloch Leibler has one of the head lobbyists for Zionist extremism at its helm. It's effectively an organisation supporting the terrorist state of Israel, and should be on a banned list. It would not meet criteria for govt contracts anyway (which is clearly being ignored).

Approximately 1/3 of voting Australians didn't vote for any of the major parties at the '22 election.
The rise of the community independents, candidates not beholden to any party, is changing our political scene for the better.
