...and at whose expense? If education is a long term investment, why not public housing? The house and the land owned by the ppl and with ongoing rental guaranteed incoming to pay it off.

A majority of Australians struggle to broaden their literacy beyond 3 letter acronyms such as Alp & Lmp. I doubt we'd fare better.

Poorly worded. Soz.

Indexation doesn't = cost-of-living relief.

This is posturing to appeal upper/middle-class people who don't depend on these payments or understand how they actually work.

Don't use people in poverty to prop up your image when you are not actually doing anything to help them.

160 billion to feed the poor in the US for 1 year? That's a hell of of of food for those in poverty.

It's NSW. All NSW Labor Premiers are rightwing. They have to be. It's a Sydney, big end of town business requirement.

Agreed. Your concerns are valid. He was unconstrained when he 1st took the reigns of treasurer, and his 1st instincts were neoliberalism full steam ahead. His done nothing to suggest otherwise since.

I'd say donors and the aspirational class ie the already wealthy.

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.

Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good

So refreshing to be associated with being born in the year of 'cheap oil ', rather than the year of 'the dog'.

The later argument is relegated to the impoverished.

Yet fixable. This current government is dedicated to undermining means testing for those that have enough to stand on their own two feet. Some kind of twisted logic of reward for aspiration rather than unaffordable handouts that screws with debt and deficit.

Unfortunately just as poignant but lacking reflection.
I mean FFS what is up with you fuckers 👇 You don't believe we deserve answers?

Putting Australia Last. 20 years worth of gas exported in past 5 years, while Australians threatened with shortages.
New Australia Institute analysis shows that over the past five years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years.

"Mediocrity and malaise". Certainly a poignant reflection on the Albaneses government at work. Although the ANU audiences heads must having been spinning when you followed up by stating you "made the right calls and the big calls for the right reasons, well intentioned and well informed".
