David Rowe critical minerals.. Financial Review

A massive shout-out and thanks and much love to the woman juggling things behind the scenes today on this, @deniseshrivell.bsky.social

Denise helps our democracy in so many ways, every day. She is there helping behind the scenes on so many issues

She is a quiet, impactful giant

Thanks Denise 🙏🏽

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

@grogsgamut.bsky.social on the Sunday Shot 👏

@chriswallace.bsky.social on everything wrong with 2party duopoly cartel party system.

Ugh. Stupid capitalism. I’ll have to see if I can turn that off. Thanks for the warning. 👌

Hi LH - no worries - I was reacting to the invite:

Btw. Thanks so much for the effort to be a paid subscriber. I appreciate that enormously. I do not accept $ on Substack to avoid funding their really dodgy politics. I am very grateful for the intention.

LIb/Lab - doesn't matter - it's a duopoly comprising cartel parties of career politicians

Every time the government accepts money from the gambling industry, it increases its debts to companies whose business models are based on preying on young and vulnerable people, and doing them harm.

The Albanese government does this again and again.

Thanks!
It’s really hard to list without sounding like a conspiracist. It’s just a relatively small world of people *very* dedicated to their missions.

Nice to be parallel to a squall and not under it ☺️ 💨🌦️

yep: 😴wake up Australia 'FS

A dense body of research most voters will never read but it does show very thoroughly the immense global forces at work designed to infiltrate democracies and break them down - including through the duopoly in Australia - both Labor and the LNP IPA

We’re at a critical point

PAY ATTENTION VOTERS!

I’m just glad it went to someone standing up for democracy instead of tearing it apart!

John W Howard is reponsible for the societal damage unfolding in Australia today - unaffordable housing (CGT/neg gearing); vilification of immigrants; illegal wars - Iraq; mining boom mineral wealth to buy votes instead of a sov wealth fund. Now Labor is complicit in duopoly's hijacking of democracy

Agreed

This could have been Australia, but thanks to John Howard, Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison, the Minerals Council and the BCA, we wasted nearly 20 years subsidising gas and coal instead. What a waste.

Imagine kicking the former national rugby captain out of your sports club instead of the gambling lobby.

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, who'd want to belong to a club that would accept Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its sponsors?

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

We need that woman on Instagram who teaches imaginary kindergarten kids to give them a lesson today about how “sometimes we don’t with the prize but that’s ok, because we should always keep trying to do our best…”
