The guy from The Week on Wednesday podcast who works with unions, boards and other folk to try and make the world a better place.
Instead of this Howard gave our mineral wealth to Gina & Clive who used that wealth to pay for right wing political campaigns & animatronic dinosaurs

And they still want Australians to work on “African wages” & be able to deny workers their entitlements

This 👇is soooo much better

Believe it or not this is an improvement from where it was under former Coalition Energy Minister, Angus Taylor, who allowed us to have as little as “19 to 24” days of petrol while outsourcing our strategic reserves to THE UNITED STATES

Literally half a world away, on the other side of the PACIFIC!

People say Australia has a “productivity problem” when in reality we have “mining dependency”

A simple Google search returned the below information

We have a problem with capital not being invested in the diversity of industries needed to weather downturns in mining demand

Tariffs haven’t helped…

The bosses pamphlet just continues its 40 years of being consistently wrong due to a series of ideologically motivated assumptions underpinning ALL of its “analysis”.

I hope you enjoyed your #auspol democracy day

Only 6.6% of the world is in a “full democracy”. Australia is one of those precious few

Less than half (45%) the world lives in any sort of democracy

What we have is special

I participated across Hawke & Ballarat (where I’m from)

How about you?

Looks like Senator Hume is the only person in Dutton’s Coalition still having a good time….

Check out our #podcast to hear why Dutton and Amelia Hamer might not be looking so delighted

Look who I saw on pre-poll today in Bacchus Marsh!

The best Kim ever (in her @australianunions.bsky.social tops) & the wonderful member for Eureka Michaela Settle MP

Safe to say Sam Rae that we got at least a couple of votes at this pre-poll!

Labor created more jobs, more small businesses, lifted wages, created new laws to stop price gouging, made wage theft illegal, created job security laws & is funding TAFE, education & early childhood

Dutton’s Coalition wants to go back to wage cutting, job smashing & small businesses going under

In Australia the Conservative Party calls itself the Liberal Party of Australia
I’m a member of the Australian Labor Party
As we also have an election on our national broadcaster runs a questionnaire to help people recognise which party’s policies best align with their own ideals
I’m Labor Left

Albo made laws to lift wages
Dutton voted against them

Albo raised superannuation
Dutton voted against it

Albo made sure all workers got a tax cut
Dutton voted against them

Albo is fully funding every school
Dutton is accusing teachers of “indoctrination”

It isn’t a hard choice

@thekouk.bsky.social nails it on petrol

Petrol prices are LOWER than when Labor won the election

Dutton’s Coalition have a sugar hit policy that won’t make any lasting change whereas Labor has & is pushing prices down by stopping profiteering & creating real alternatives

Don’t risk Dutton #auspol

Labor has increased wages faster than prices rose

Dutton’s Coalition wants to cut wages because it’s how their wage thief donors and Coal Baroness Gina make even bigger profits

Don’t risk Dutton

Why does US big pharma want to break the PBS?

Big pharma charges more than FOURTEEN as much for chronic condition treatment in the US than we allow in Australia

Why is Trump backing big Pharma?

He doesn’t want Americans to ask why everyone else gets cheaper meds & they pay for pharma’s greed

Australians are $1,000,000,000 better off since Labor was elected and scammers are worse off since Dutton was removed from government

Trump dares to try telling Australians we can’t do research on gender issues while his spiritual advisor is being arrested for molesting a 12 year old?

Trump is a filthy bigoted grifter

I’d sooner burn every American dollar than have that empty headed orange excuse for a man dictate to us

McDonalds franchisees are required to pay large on going fees back to the company, as outlined in the picture below they run into the hundreds of thousands every month. That’s after set up fees of anywhere up to $2,300,000

Dutton’s record on national security is awful

In government he failed to;
-Launch a single submarine or frigate
-Enforce his random identity checks on the Australian public
-Stop billions in corrupt & shonky contracts
-Prevent a record number of terror attacks

Don’t risk Dutton

Justin Hemmes is a wage thief

Peter Dutton sought & accepted campaign donations from Hemmes

Dutton has taken money that rightly belongs to employees of the Merivale pub empire to use for his own political campaign

Dutton has basically received stolen money

Don’t risk Dutton

On the day JD Vance insulted the European spirit of liberty we visited the statue of Hannie Schaft, a Dutch teenage trade unionist & socialist who gave her life killing fascists during the occupation of Haarlem.

Trump, Musk & Putin don’t realise who they are messing with…

The United States is not democracy’s leader, it is barely democracy’s friend

It is a petty nation of uneducated reactionaries, afraid of the world & each other

Roosevelt made it the “arsenal of democracy”, it avoided damage to its industry & it became an economic giant

It has since been reverting

I support democracy, I support Ukraine

As we await Trump pulling the USA out of the coalition of democracies to help Putin now is the time for all of us to give what we can

The EU has a page to help get the money to the people who most need it
