It is impossible to overstate how irresponsible this government is when it comes to sovereign capability. Their damage and ignorance will be felt for generations.
This is obscene.

The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds.

While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

How does a full pensioner afford the luxury of basic services with the co- payments being charged.

I already work full time for the government for a measly $80per week carers supplement. 🤬

There it is folks. The leader of the Victorian Taliban

LGBTQI+ rights, marriage equality, women's bodily autonomy & reproductive health rights are all now at risk if the IPA/LNP/Taliban are elected in '26

Throw in fracking vast tracts of agricultural lands, and the sale of more essential services
Ladies and gentlemen your new Victorian opposition leader…

Aussie version of 4 Non Blondes called 4 Blondes

Their big single is titled “The Fuck's Gahn On Here"

Their drummer is called Doona and only plays a sheet of corrugated iron

I would never hate someone for the way that they lay with someone else
(& if you do)
The blame comes from the weight of the way that you see yourself,
Take some of the weight off your plate by taking the hate away,
And then maybe you'll make your way to start loving yourself

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

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.

Wonder what governments will resort to when banning social media and locking kids up doesn’t fix teenagers.

Tough way to finish what was another promising season of improvement and growth for the Hawks W side

Only been in the League for 4 seasons. Played semis in two. So far ahead of the Hawks M history it's no contest

Regroup, get fit, go again

Our best can win it. Love my #Hawks

Great thread
And not to get too real on a late night post, but yeah.

I am *so* fucking done with people acting like this is normal. That the president of our country can just flat out lie and it’s not a big deal. That an entire branch of our government has been subverted to the whims of a serial liar.
As someone who has had multiple MRIs, you absolutely know what the techs are imaging before they put you in the machine, because if there is any sort of metal in the target area you *really* need to let them know beforehand since cleaning bloodstains out of the tube is NOT a good time

So proud of the Mighty Fighting Hawks women again tonight. Outplayed and looking like getting towelled up by a rampaging Carlton, and the entire season full of injuries catching up with us in the last few weeks, they set their jaws and had a massive dip in the 2nd

Victoria isn’t broke, its net assets are actually increasing

The reason it’s spending more than it’s collecting at present is it’s in the middle of massive infrastructure upgrades

The BCA is calling for more infrastructure and complaining about its cost..ffs

Don’t hobble Victoria with complaints about taxes, debt and deficit
Big business never tires of saying taxes are bad, yet those same companies thrive on the very services taxes pay for.

The intent of the neoliberal scam has always been to turn the moderately wealthy into millionaires, and the millionaires into billionaires.
And it’s succeeded …at the expense of historic inequality.
Yet so-called progressive parties still embrace it, lest it offend donors
