It's amazing just how little people understand about how money, banks and our governments work
Here's a story that tells a small part of it ...

By a strange coincidence, all the countries Trump wants to bomb are rich in oil
After many months contemplating war on Iran, and later Venezuela, the US president has set his sights on… Nigeria.

Since the UKgov/BoE are sole issuers of pounds, the size of the national debt is not a primary concern
The govt can never run out of money
It doesn't spend taxpayers money
It creates new currency electronically
Even the BoE website will tell you this
Wouldn't argue with some nationalisation though

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

How much of your personality needs to be filled with sewage to have the first reaction of "I'm much better looking than him"?

Just a walking bag of rancid manure.

Trump on Mamdani: "I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right? It's gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there."

‘Punishment before trial’:
Senator Lidia Thorpe will move an amendment to strike out Schedule 5 after the Government quietly inserted a measure to expand police power into the social safety net.

The very predictable result of Albo's first home buyer scheme.

At least Albo is consistent - only ever looking after those with money.

Huge mortgages; and what happens in the event of a significant house price correction?

How do we, the people, find somewhere/something that might look like it will cause Labor some damage electorally?
Then how do we focus on that ONE THING & make it intolerably noisy so Labor can't ignore it?
They are fat & happy with the Coalition tearing itself apart
They must be goaded into action

The big betrayal of the environment
Unless Labor finds a way to improve environmental protections it might find that no amount of political spin can protect a government that has lost its way on environmental issues.

Australian federal government doesn't spend 'taxpayer dollars'
They spend by creating new currency
So they don't have to 'take it from somewhere else'
So they have no excuses
IF THEY DON'T SPEND, IT IS 100% THEIR CHOICE
Lack of spending is usually based on politics, not economics

I took a look at what the submissions to the Australian Senate's climate misinformation inquiry had to say for @drilledmedia.bsky.social. The more you look, the more it looks like anti-renewables groups kicked an own goal in the rush to flood the process.
In Attempt to Spam Climate Information Integrity Investigation, Australia’s Climate Skeptics Score an Own Goal
In attempting to thwart the investigation, anti-climate and anti-renewables groups revealed important information about themselves and why such an inquiry was necessary in the first place.

More bullshit israeli propaganda coming out of the abc, the headline alone makes it appear as though Hamas has been the one breaking the ceasefire and the remains they speak of are due to israel bombing the shit out of Gaza indiscriminately for 2yrs and killing their own people
abc is useless

Hard to articulate just how much of a disappointment this so called "Labor" government is. They have failed on so many promises & realistic expectations. They become more Lib Lite by the day, & what's worse, looks like they have been all along. We woz robbed! Gough must be spinning.

This is stupidity founded on ignorance
Yes taxes should be paid but federal govt doesn't 'need' the revenue from unpaid taxes
It could lwrite them off
Paying a private company $42m to have them chased is insanity
They could have just created more jobs at the ATO
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
ATO is paying private debt collector $42m to pursue taxpayers, including welfare recipients
Exclusive: The tax office’s increased reliance on Recoveriescorp has coincided with a spike in complaints to the watchdog
