tfw you've chosen decency and economic opportunity over the politics of marginalisation

Biggest lie in the sorry history of Australian politics? Pre-election Albo: "Opposition Leader .. Albanese says the government should instead focus on training millions of unemployed or underemployed Australians in areas where there are skill shortages" skynews.com.au/australia-news…

#AUKUS #AUSPOL "The licence allows the Australian Submarine Agency to establish a ‘Controlled Industrial Facility’ to handle the waste of US and UK nuclear submarines that dock at HMAS Stirling Navy Base in Western Australia." asiapacificdefencereporter.com/radioactive-wa…

The time is coming soon for young Aussies to do our annual taxes and pay billions of dollars toward politicians pushing housing and accessible quality of life further out of reach.

Britain ceded the right to call foreigners and immigrants "invaders" when it invaded 1/4 of the planet and built the largest empire in history.

Australia’s housing crisis has become ‘catastrophic’ Folks this is the article you’ve been waiting for — share it widely By the ABC’s ⁦Gareth Hutchens⁩ abc.net.au/news/2024-08-0…

Dr Monique Ryan MP No one has the right to right to deny or restrict access to a home but that's the system we have. Capitalism is what keeps people homeless & gives landlords the rights of dictators because we privilege profits for a few people before benefits for most people.

Who signed off on this? People are drowning in student debt, crying out for relief while their dreams of owning a home or starting a family are crushed - & a PM who went to uni for free is crowing over shaving off a tiny bit of debt indexation. Way to rub it in.

$3b wiped from HECS debts equates to saving future mid/high income grads a few months of repayments in 5 to 15 years time but does leave the govt with $3b less in assets for everything else it does.

I said it last year. The housing crisis is a steamroller that's started moving without a driver. It can't be dealt with by political announcements and token gestures. And it's going to crush everything in its path, including the Anthony Albanese government. Clare O'Neil MP Jim Chalmers MP

For all Labor's rhetoric on housing here are the cold hard facts. Australia has reached a historic low on public housing construction. Literally more public homes were built under Tony Abbot than this Labor government. Thanks to Greg Jericho for the graph.

Greg Jericho Don't mean to sound like a big radical but maybe the government should just start building a lot of public housing? Rather than say creating stupidly complex incentive schemes for private developers to build penthouse apartments that they keep empty.

Many Australians won’t own homes, won’t be able to retire, don’t have a mum and dad help them buy a car…but hey let’s keep going with these pathetic pieces of shame. Budgeting can’t fix poverty, dunderheads.

Quantitative easing has worsened inequality. It inflates asset prices, benefiting the wealthy who own most shares. Meanwhile, the majority, owning minimal shares, see no benefit. This policy deepens the economic divide, setting us up for another crisis.

If you don’t like seeing people who are sleeping rough, give them one of your houses.

Whatever you think of the CFMEU, it should send a chill down the spine of everyone in this country that both Labor and Liberals have been so ready to use the cover of untested allegations to effectively crush a union that is critical of the government. youtu.be/IEkrpw9Kazc

40% of low income renters are at risk of having nowhere to live. 0% of Australians looking for work can afford to rent. 1.8% of listed rental properties are affordable for a single parent, working full time, earning a min wage. This entire mess will have a political landing

Ok, this one's easy. Rather than measure or deal with poverty on any earnest level, the role of government is to: -hide that it's causing mass poverty -infer ppl are responsible for it themselves w/ all it's policy choices -whip up a frenzy over 'bludgers' to please reactionaries
