I find meeting Australian standards on taxation too costly. How about I don’t pay the taxman? Will Aus government let me off cause I’m using the same excuse as Santos?

It was embarrassing to be Australian under the Morrison government.
Nothing has changed.

Cleaning up politics might require a Prime Minister who's not the President of a gambling lobby's sports club. #AusPol

Albanese will give it away for free and we will pay for the process of digging it up.

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 1d

Albanese is not driving down emissions. He’s increasing them by approving massive fossil fuel mine expansion. Facts matter @australia.theguardian.com

A new study published in Nature Climate Action finds Woodside’s Scarborough gas project could cause 100s of heat-related deaths & exposed 500k people to unprecedented heat.

Govt can’t claim climate leadership while approving projects like this.

Forrest-backed study links Woodside mega-project to hundreds of deaths

The research, conducted by academics at ANU, suggests the massive offshore gas project off the coast of Western Australia will cause warming of 0.00039 degrees.

Dear @albomp.bsky.social,
On your watch, a record 14.7% of Australians are living in poverty.
People working full-time can’t afford rent.
Your carrot-n-stick approach to the unemployed is all stick and no carrot.
No one has been prosecuted for Robodebt.
Santos still pay $0 tax.
On your watch, mate.

It’s an ideology not an organization. These people want a bogeyman, and bogeymen are fictional.

Imagine being a “centre-left” party, taking gummint after 9 years of tory mismanagement, and INCREASING the number of Australians living in poverty.
Fantastic. Great move. Well done, @albomp.bsky.social

Chalmers is too neoliberal. He’s not old enough to understand what we no longer have due to Keating/hawke and Thatcher style policies.

Shared values…..

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 4d

USA sponsors terrorists around the globe. They force themselves into others. The rest of the world has had a gut full of yank bases.

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 4d

USA is not democratic either but have bases all around the world.

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 4d

How do you think the rest of the world feels with American bases on their soil? Australia is full of American bases. No one wants them here.

Albanese flexing his muscle. The rot starts at the head.

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 5d

If only we had a functioning NACC.
Canberra has no idea how corrupt they are to the rest of us.

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 5d

They keep telling us they have shared values. We must believe them. Let’s stop thinking modern Labor is anything like old Labor. They have shown us time and again what they are. Believe them and you won’t be so shocked by their behaviour

More than likely

If we had a functioning NACC it would investigate this corruption

For anyone unsure, it’s never been clearer that the problem here and around the world is not left vs right, it’s the top vs the bottom.

Sad thing is he wouldn’t see anything wrong with it.

Too late now. Albanese has shown his hand. Publicly. Allowing this level of control of a social club. Corruption. Another reason why he hobbled the NACC.

Dave @musodave.bsky.social · 5d

Just when you thought Wong couldn’t get any worse…wtf?
