One in eight households can’t afford enough food. That’s not poor budgeting, that’s systemic failure. Food is a human right, not a privilege. Inequality and political neglect are leaving families hungry.

Jeff Kennett is rolled out to criticize ex-premier Dan Andrews who visited Australia's major trading partner, China to take part in celebrations of the defeat of Japan.
Students of history will note that by joining the Allies, China helped save Australia from invasion by the Japanese.

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich.

It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

#Superannuation was meant to help people save for retirement, but 40 years on it's become a tax dodge for the wealthy. It's now set to cost taxpayers more than the Age Pension.

Big Pharma’s tightening its grip on the NHS (and #medicare in Aus). The ABPI’s rejected the UK govt’s drug pricing deal, threatening to pull £2bn in investment. Just like in the US, they want profits over patients. We must resist creeping privatisation.

Lots of fuss over the new super tax on balances over $3M - but it affects less than 0.5% of Aussies. Most won’t ever reach that. Super is for all Aussies’ retirement, not a tax haven for the ultra-rich. Maybe the outrage should match who’s actually impacted? #Superannuation #TaxFairness #Auspol
