"The report labels itself as a, “policy oriented framework for government and the Australian community” and yet it is totally devoid of any evidence for said policies and the Australian community. It’s a completely statistics free, citation free document"

None of this passes the pub test - The Shot
Jillian Segal’s report, the entire double-spaced, decorative and glossy 16 pages of it, is largely insulting dross.

Final passage by one vote, though likely the present and 2 NV were all available to them if they had been needed. It's with the Senate now

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

Labor voters DID NOT preference the Liberals over the Greens!
It’s the way the preferences flow.
Max Failed Prefect Mather was elected with Liberal preferences in 2022.
Adam Bandt took his seat from Labor in 2010 with Liberal preferences.
The Greens spin the story to suit their own agenda.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
