Wish I could’ve seen Amerika before it ended
If only we had a Labor govt with a huge majority in government that had the courage to raise benefits to a living wage again ?

It’s not just Newscorp. The ABC has been hysterically China bashing for years

… and by the way , you do know that donations to charities are already tax deductible ? ….. don’t you ?
November 6, 2025 at 2:36 AM
You make a good point , should the Salvos and Vinnies lobby for clothes and bric a brac manufacturers to make more goods to donate to them and get a tax bonus ?

So are humans
November 6, 2025 at 2:30 AM
Because we’re back to square one. Why not give the same tax payers money directly to the people who need it ? No need , or less need , for the humiliating need to beg for charity ?

This is Burgess’ now regular reminder to make sure ASIO funded never diminishes , keep us scared because they’re keeping us safe. The ABC has been the propaganda wing of ASPI for years now. I was was disappointed to see SBS giving this trash air time though.

…. Producing more food waste, and all funded by the taxpayer. Food bank stated this is how it’s done in the US . Of course it is ! The US is run by corporations. On top of the negatives of the scheme for legitimate companies , this is so blatantly open to corruption it should have red flags all over
November 6, 2025 at 1:59 AM
But this scheme is not ‘the good’. It will make things worse ,let me spell it out:
A company with a turnover of up to 50mill gets a tax deduction for ‘over producing ‘ food , to give to charity . It removes the risk for said overproduction, so they will do regularly, producing more unwanted food….

Ummm … no it’s not . This is an argument to fix our society so that nobody needs charity. A rich country shouldn’t have poor people
November 6, 2025 at 1:38 AM
As I said , it won’t reduce food waste , will probably create more, and this convoluted tax scam only talks to the symptom. No poor , no charity needed ? Why don’t food bank lobby to increase the dole and the pension ? Because they’ll lose ‘customers’
November 6, 2025 at 1:26 AM
.. and the dubious comes from various media reports of Food banks selling grocery items , not giving them away , sometimes at higher prices that the regular supermarkets
November 6, 2025 at 1:10 AM
… and this will do nothing to reduce food waste , and it actually has the potential to make it worse . Taxpayers funding companies to produce and deliver food is crazy , for lots of reasons. Why not use the same money to increase benefits?
November 6, 2025 at 1:09 AM
Why would they need to do both? People who can’t afford to eat is a sign that the system is broken. Fix the system , and society doesn’t need charities.
November 6, 2025 at 12:59 AM
This is a total scam . Why would the taxpayer fund companies to give to charity , because people can’t afford to eat, when the govt can simply put up benefits, thereby giving relief directly to those who need it ? It’s a shameless grab at self perpetuation for a dubious ‘charity’

I had to use a service station this morning to put a little air in a tyre. Brought back some horrible memories. The smell, the grime, the dystopian aura about the place. Got my free air and drove out as fast as I could.

Caravan is an extremist fringe dweller advocating for the destruction of civilisation and should be treated as such. Why is the ABC giving air time to this corrupt & ecocidal cockroach?

Just watched it , great interview. Has anyone to date heard any defence from Marr regarding his disgraceful hatchet job ?
