Opened the letterbox today, and in there was a pamphlet and fridge magnet courtesy of Barnaby and the Nats. Telling us how well he's been working for the electorate.

Typical of his regard for anyone else. He has only ever been in it for himself.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

The government's latest approach to see AI as some benign entity that will benefit us all, is delusional in the extreme.
We should all be very scared about the path AI is taking, and we should be implementing strict controls now, before it is all too late.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

No saving the Coalition – and that should be a warning to Labor
Labor is trying to present itself as the adult in the room, by pointing to the opposition's tantrums. That’s not governing, it’s babysitting.

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago.
Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?”
But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth.
You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars.

Postponed childbearing, exit from the workforce and other consequences will reduce the relative size of the economy’s productive sector, ultimately exacerbating the problem to the point of disaster.
Taking from the young, giving to the old: How our tax system is letting us down
Australians are retiring with unprecedented levels of wealth. This wealth, which is primarily held in housing, investment properties and superannuation, allows retirees to draw incomes to support their retirement.
