Nationalise the mining industry.
Not the coal mines. Shut those down completely.
But the iron ore, bauxite, tin, nickel and copper .. those resources belong to all Australians and we all should profit from that wealth.
You want to be a billionaire? .. go invent something.
Brittany Higgins didn't 'break down' or 'sob' as headlines have reported.
She was briefly emotional from the frustration at the legal tactics employed, the callousness of the questions.
But nothing about Brittany broke today.
She stood in her power.

Conservatives: 'The greens are successful because they're better at disseminating their core message'
No, the Greens are successful because the science supports their core message.
Sad to watch the British waking up to the fact that Brexit had nothing to do with the improved economic prospects of the nation, and was really about the racism of not wanting Eastern Europeans to work in their cafes for minimum wage.
@GrogsGamut
Antony Green mentioned on the night that no government going into an election with a majority and coming out with a minority has ever won government at the election after that.
He thinks Labor is letting the Liberals cook.
@GingerGorman
Nor did she 'break down' or 'sob' as headlines have reported.
She was briefly emotional at the callous tactics employed, that was all.
But not once all day did they break her.
She stood strong in her power.
The LNP opposition stupidly taking a page out of the Tony Abbott playbook, assuming an obstreperous attack-dog mentality.
The sheer chutzpah of a party spending a decade running the nation into the ground and now crying for higher standards.
Narcissism at its finest.

I think that level of self-entitled narcicissm is incapable of comprehending reality as it is.
Once the behaviour's been called out, it needs to be vehemently denied at all costs, lest the false-self mask crumbles and all is lost..
He truly believes he's the victim. He has to.
It doesn't require "entrepreneurial innovation" to dynamite the earth, dig it up and transport it on a train to the coast and then load it onto a ship.
Any state should be able to carry that out.

'Traditional marriage' supporter who cheated on his wife with his press-secretary, who defended Robodebt, and whose conduct the Federal Court described as 'criminal' says what?
The water hasn’t gone down yet, and we haven’t seen the full extent of the damage to our community due to catastrophic flooding. We have started a fundraiser to help local residents and businesses who have been affected.
Me: ban poker machines

Me: tax the corporations, nationalise the mines

Your're a hateful bigot whose putrid ideology has been repudiated by Australia and it's people.
You're narcissism has been wounded, your vanity muddied and your guru-status shattered all because you didn't comprehend that Australia isn't the lapdog the British assume it is.
LNP ministers are telling their electorate what they think the seat wants to hear.

"Net zero is dead"
@DaveSharma
"I’ve delivered a binding commitment to net zero emissions"
@ScottMorrisonMP
my commitment to net zero is "abosolute"
Who should we believe?
Prominent Australian journalists: "Scott Morrison has once again shown how out of touch he is with the populace".
My dudes, ya'll gave him a hip nickname and spent six years explaining to us what a miracle worker he is.
Jane Hume: "We're very open minded, we would like to be constructive with the government."
Translation: "We never did have, nor now have, any idea how to fix the economy and we're hoping the other side does."
The 'Cost of Living Crisis' is a wonderful euphamism.
Makes it sound like a 'natural crisis' ... like an earthquake or hurricane .. something done to us which we have no control over.
Nobody wants to call it by it's name.
It's a man-made economic consequence of greed.
Indigenous women are jailed for not paying $36 fines, their deteriorating physical conditions deemed 'drunkeness', their deaths unmonitored.
White men abuse multiple victims, have long lists of AVOs, yet magistrates grant bail because 'alcohol was a contributing factor'.
The LNP are manipulating this election campaign into a dog-whistle about a coal tax, boat people, transphobia .. all their classic hits.
Because they can't talk about the economy.
Superior economic managers, my left foot.
My Dad: "What you goddamn commie pinkos don't understand is that there's no such thing as a free lunch"

@JohnRuddick2
This entire post is replete with unhinged misinformation, outright lies, derogatory and defamatory conspiracy theorising.
You should be ashamed, as an elected official, to ever have felt the confidence to pen such errant nonsense.
Your craven and base pandering is risible.
I once smoked a joint while strolling out of Wooloomooloo, across the Eastern Distributor, past the matchsticks next to the Art Gallery, on my way to work ..
.. as I crested the hill I was confronted with 800 police officers having their yearly rememberance at the memorial.

@DanielAndrewsMP
The entire Australian community stands against your hateful, divisive and abusive bigotry.
You heard it in the streets and online, and now your hearing it in the halls of power.
You will be remembered as a blot of foulness on the pages of our progress towards egalitarianism.
When I get bored I open the group chat for my old private high school friends and write something inflamintory using words like 'white', 'wealthy', 'privileged' & 'spoiled' ..
Then I sit back and watch the feathers fly.
I'm surprised I'm still allowed in that chat, actually.

It's barely even fact-checking .. we were all there, glued to our sets watching one of the most dramatic events in history play out in real time ..
It's like saying the twin-towers fell before the planes hit
Uncomfortable truths Australians don't want to discuss around the summer holiday season:
1. Women are being slaughtered at an increasing rate and nobody has any idea how to stop it.
2. Gambling, smoking & alcohol aren't a national identity: their scourges killing our children.
Young pretty white girl dies tragically in a foreign country, the media eats it up - 2GB just playing Amazing Grace in honour.
Indigenous teen murdered by white racist while walking home from school with a metal pole, barely a mention.

They don't see the irony that the opposite sex would be much more attracted to them if they had the EXACT OPPOSITE opinions from those they currently espouse.
When your coastline is inundated, your forests burning, the air unbreathable and elon's in his bunker ..

Paul Murray is putting a mocking tone of homosexuality into his voice when he recites the words of left-wing twitter.

Are you comfortable with your talking-head actively demonstrating homophobia live on air?
During this Saturday morning lie in I dreamt I was loading a washing machine ..
Decided to get up because, fuck it, what's the point if you're doing chores in your sleep as well as when you're awake.
Katherien Deves is a product of the wealthy white Sydney's-North-Shore bubble ..
Horrendous views echoed back by the conservative media, being inside the bubble she truly believes it's an acceptable norm.

Use the patches to remove the chemical craving until you've reached a psychological distance from the action.
When you're ready, phase out the patches, which is super easy if you haven't indulged in the physical action in a while.
Took me years to learn this trick.
Can anybody help me identify the name of these oddly yellow beaked, highly territorial, babysitting, swoopers?
The male is reluctant to allow me propinquity to my vehicle.
Peter Dutton thinks it's still the olden-days .. when you could joke about climate change and throw about a red scare every now and then.
His ability to accept the new paradigm is nil.
@stkirsch
You're the one with something to prove, ergo the onus is on you to show your working.
All you've done is sceenshot a table and make a deduction that's contradicted by an adendum in the table itself.

@MsAmitrypped
, get your ass handed to you and stop this charade.
The stand-out of the Lehrmann defamation trial is the complete lack of diversity in the LNP and Australian Parliament in general.
White heterosexual cis-gendered men, each convinced of their natural right to rule, completely unrepresenative of the demographic they seek to govern
@goodfoodgal
You have no evidence of a single claim you make.
If it were so 'obvious', you'd be showing how and why.
But you're not ... because it doesn't exist.
@MagazineAmplify
People with NPD rarely go to therapy, which is why stats on recovery rates is near non-existent.
If they do it can be:
1) because of a major collapse where the indicators are irrefutable, or
2) due to incarceration
2) to learn the lingo with which to later gaslight victims
@BradJamin3
Went to the library and saw a sign telling me to “Borrow A Book. It’s free.”
For starters, it’s not free, it cost the council to build that library, plus it can cost you your life if you trip over a pile of books and hit your head on a marble bench top.
Truly frightening.
Thank the gods we live in a country where cabinent members have the backbone to lick the boots of the person their job depends on.
That's strength for you.
Why do we need referendums every time we bring a little more equity and equality into our society?
Whatever happened to mandates?
Funny how they never asked the nation if we wanted to invade Iraq, lock up asylum seekers, sell off our state assets, or demolish workers rights ..
@ellymelly
If you stood against the Voice, then you stood with those that raped, murdered, poisoned and enslaved Indigenous peoples. We are looking at you.
See how easy it is to make simplistically false equivalences?

You’re basing your statistical study of Covid deaths in Amish communities on a single tweet from an anonymous account?!?
That’s akin to getting today’s weather from a dictionary entry.
@stkirsch
You’ve created your own data by writing a survey yourself and asking your followers, who you know how they’ll respond, to fill in the way you want them to.
This is why nobody takes you seriously.
BREAKING: Witnesses report seeing multiple fire trucks arriving at Kirribilli House, the Prime Minister’s Sydney residence.
Preliminary investigations suggest that Scott Morrison’s pants may have spontaneously burst into flames.
I think we've reached the point where we can all just agree that any Australian politician who sues for defamation is totally guilty of whatever they're claiming has defamed them.
This is bullshit.
Victims of abuse suffer from emotional, psychological and physical trauma long after the event, affecting their cognitive abilities.
The legal tactic of using minot chronological discrepancies in testimonies to imply deception needs to stop.

We should have a referendum to abolish Mining Licences in which shared public resources are taken off Australians and gifted to old fat whites who sell it abroad for billions in personal profit.
They are environmental vandals.
"Our policies will be squarely aimed at the forgotten Australians in the suburbs across Australia, under my leadership the Liberal Party will be true to our values"
Peter Dutton just lost the next election.
When will we start discussing the reality that the Covid-19 pandemics have fundamentally undermined the neoliberal, free-market-dominant, laissez faire economic and social theories?
There will be other pandemics, disasters & sociological shifts the market cannot prevent or solve
@JohnRuddick2
First you criticise your own university for daring to have a view different from your own, and now you ridicule the uneducated for daring to speak.
Elitist claptrap.
Are my friends right .. has Twitter militarised me, made me 'depressing' because I've started calling out priviledge, alcoholism and abuse ..
Or is it simply that we change as we age and the cohort we partied with in our 20s no longer feeds us as we grow?
If your nation state only has fossil fuels to mine, rainforests to log, or labour to exploit in order to maintain an wealthy lifestyle ..
.. then all your economic theories don’t amount to shit.
