Three years I ago I thought a Labor majority meant serious progressive reform.
This morning I think a Labor majority means another three years of minimalist government.
Sure hope I’m wrong.

It Was Never About Hostages. It Was Never About Hamas.
There is absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They told you what this is really about.

Forest Service ranger Kricket Olin was fired from her position in the mass layoffs last month via a form letter saying it was due to poor performance.
Her firing leaves the high-alpine areas of the forest in Ouray County with fewer resources to patrol for safety and environmental purposes.

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.
Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?
There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.
