Works at ACOSS to analyse & hopefully change public policies in Australia for the common good. Views my own.
- The real question for the US and Australia is: Why do we need to import low skilled workers in the first place?
- So Herzog ‘declined to express the least reservation about Netanyahu’s war.’ Over 70000 dead, kids shot in the head by snipers. Mass starvation. That’s enough IMO to strongly oppose this visit, which is clearly not only about consoling the victims of the horrible killings in Bondi.
- So Herzog wants to ‘restore Aus-Israel relations which have been ‘undermined by radical forces’ So a well oiled propaganda tour. Bad decision Albo. Here’s the man standing in the way of good relations of Israel between the world.
- Australia should withdraw its invitation to Israel’s president on legal, ethical and social grounds. Findings of international courts and the risk to social cohesion cannot be ignored, writes Chris Sidoti. #PearlsAndIrritations #auspol #internationallaw #humanrights
- Yet more brutality
- 'It was always unlikely that our economy could accommodate sustained unemployment rates of 3.4 per cent (as it was in October 2022) or anywhere near it.' How do you know? Wages did not accelerate. Clever people said the same thing in the 1940s. They were wrong. www.afr.com/policy/econo...
- The university of social media is the real problem here.. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
- ‘While private sector activity overtook public demand late last year, the RBA expects public demand to drive around half of all economic growth in 2026.’ RBA estimate for growth in 2026? An insipid 1.8% Subtract the public contribution and it’s a catastrophic 0.9%. www.afr.com/policy/econo...
