May Day in Australia - by Liam Byrne - Maintain Your Rage byrnel.substack.com/p/may-day-in-a…

The Coalition have been trying to wreck superannuation since it was created

They’ve been trying to commodify homes since Menzies

This policy brings together two of their favourite things and all it will cost is your retirement, billions in pensions & overpriced housing

To economists arguing for further Reserve Bank interest rate increases, I won’t say I told you so, but I told you so. Today’s retail sales figures confirm the economy is weak and further interest rate increases would bring it to its knees.

Supporting victims, delivering for the frontline, detaining offenders, intervening early and preventing crime before it happens. Today I’m launching the Community Safety Plan for Queensland.

The Miles’ Government has released the Community Safety Plan for QLD. It's comprehensive, supports victims, delivers for the frontline, focuses on crime prevention while ensuring that we intervene and detain offenders when necessary. It will improve the safety of Queenslanders.

While I walked proudly on union picket lines, Trump bashed unions from a non-union shop.

Every member of the LNP voted against public ownership, renewables and job security.

From opposing higher wages & better working conditions to opposing cheaper medicine, fee-free TAFE, electricity bill relief and more Australian jobs...Peter Dutton has consistently opposed every action to help ease the cost of living.

So far, that's been his only policy.

Financial markets left to their own devices do not make economies and those who live in them free, despite what Milton Friedman said. Lots of data over 40 years shows we’re actually worse off. We need a new way to think about markets, economic policy and what we want our society

The wealth of the 400 richest Americans was equivalent to 2% of US GDP in 1982 (first year of the Forbes ranking) and now reaches 17% of GDP

Hawke, like Albanese, believed in the power of public policy to change lives. Big policy changes are always the target of the trickledown small Govt crowd.
