Yes! 👆

And that attitude about housing being treated more like a liquid asset for turnover profit is part of the insidious nature of greed and corruption.

David Shoebridge has accused NACC CEO Philip Reed of “misleading the parliament” after he told the Senate that Commissioner Paul Brereton had no existing duties with the IGADF
DS “That’s what happened Mr Reed, didn’t it?”

This will be one to watch. Yet another example of not quite fit for purpose governance in the tertiary sector.

TEQSA is about academic comparability/recognition not the professions.

But did no-one @ UWS or Newcastle see this coming??

Queensland families are homeless, school kids are going to school after sleeping in a car or a tent overnight, but Labor and LNP are throwing cash at mining multinationals.

Glencore has made billions in profit already this year, why fleece taxpayers? #auspol

Fossil fuel extraction companies hardly pay any tax and yet they are destroying our environment.

And overall, Australia is one of the lowest taxing countries in the OECD.

In Qld Murdoch media has a monopoly, particularly in regions.

This situation is dangerous to democracy and should not be allowed to continue.

But, it’s just like the fossil fuel story where our resources are shipped offshore for nothing.

But, the Duopoly turn a blind eye. #auspol

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.

How about our government tells them to pull their head in. "But they'll pull out of Townsville!" Fine. Let Glencore pull out of Townsville. Then our government can invest in keeping the refinery open under Australian government ownership.

The Government justified a clamp down on freedom of information requests by claiming an increase in malicious and automated FOI attempts. Only problem is, there's no evidence of such a thing.

Our research showed that the number of FOI requests has not increased, but processing time has. 🔗⤵️ #auspol

It’s easy to dismiss the authoritarian government & social trends happening around the West (and beyond) as distant problems. Note intolerant people in Australia are tempted by its rejection of “live and let live.” Many are in significant positions. Networking. Acting. Integrating us into it #auspol
