Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."
Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?
When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.

What a stitch up. The coalition who reneged on France for AUKUS and a govt too scared to do the right thing. For a truly ‘open’ investigation we need independent and green senators and MPs as part of the committee which should not be a ‘secret’ one.

Dutton’s complete lack of appeal to AUS voters was an established fact WAY before the last Federal election
Fact that the LNP chose to follow him as their leader anyway speaks volumes about how tone deaf they are and how completely unsuited they are to leadership

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.
