Yeh, the Privileged don’t want us to know.

The ABC featured a voice clip of Dolly Parton telling the world she is “OK and not dying” to squash speculation about her health.

The ABC presenter said “thankfully, that’s the reassurance we all needed”.

Finally I can get out of bed and face a world condoning genocide and conducting climate ruin.

While there is no “i” in team, there is one in Liberal and they all think it’s theirs.

I watched Jane Goodall’s Famous Last Words on Netflix (there are excerpts on You Tube).

She wants Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi and Netanyahu to leave Earth on a space ship.

My new job is recruiting for the ADF. 3rd in a series.

Can’t get a girlfriend? Think it’s unfair that the sports dudes get all the action and you don’t? Do you fit the incel profile?

The ADF understands. Make a career in an organisation that makes bullying, misogyny and sexual abuse fun for you!

Agree. The average income earner is typically taxed as PAYG. They have no choice but to pay tax out of every pay cheque and attempt to claim meagre rebates etc later, hence they are exposed to bracket creep and have little opportunity to avoid being taxed. “Low hanging fruit” rotting on the tree.

My post concerned Australia, where the political system is not as awash with corporate money and therefore influence as the US. Even so, Australia is clearly not immune to corporate lobbying. For sure access to politicians is certainly more open to donors than not. IMO, the US could be a Plutocracy.

Trump has lied to Americans since well before his first term. He will lie until he takes his last gasp. This lie is no more or less significant than all the lies people have believed or not believed before now, nor those that will inevitably come. Americans enabled Trump despite his lies.

I betcha they won’t be.

The reason it’s taken 2 years to not respond to PETA Murphy’s report is that no one wants to catch the hot potato.

Did Peta Credlin goes as baggage, literally and figuratively?

With the current policy review the Liberals are conducting on the hoof, Abbott would appear to be the most relevant spokesperson to their losing cause.

“Back then” we didn’t have consolidated mass media and corporatised sports. I guess gambling was the pursuit of personal fun and individual greed. Now it’s an industry, while personal gain is sold to punters, the real objective is corporate profits at the expense of individuals and their families.

Agree but the govt has had the “Peta Murphy” report for 2 years. During their tearful mourning of her sad and untimely death, Labor committed to act in the name of her memory. 2 Ministers later, nothing. They tarnish their sorrow and condolences by being 2 faced hypocrites. The public want action.

Money. Tax revenue, Corporate Media and Corporate Sport that all receive huge revenues from gambling. Media consolidation in Australia, means unbridled power and influence over public consumption and the Racing, AFL and NRL with their social license and massive fan base, all influencing politicians.

Tax the big corporations. If corporations, as they do now, use tax law to minimise tax and “offshore” their tax liabilities to more favorable tax havens etc then tax them on their Australian income - on revenue. I worked for a MNC in Australia where the ATO did exactly that. It’s a legal method.

Marles yesterday interviewed about the anniversary of the 7th October Hamas Terrorist attack was also asked about the reported abuse of folks detained by Israel from the Sumud Flotilla. Didn’t condemn Israel - all he said was the govt was in touch with Israel and giving consulate support.

The Sumud Flotilla was always going to be intercepted and the people detained. Israel has no fear of the international rule of law. However the Australian govt’s poor, almost silent response to the detention and reports of abuse is totally unacceptable.They are captured by Israel and America.

I watched 4 Corners on Gambling. I knew it is a problem but I am astounded at the Shitfuckery the industry performs to secure and trap high value out of control gamblers and more astounded that regulators and govt does SFA about it. They’ve gone after tobacco big time but not gambling. Hypocrites.

My new job is recruiting for the ADF. Second in a series.

Do you enjoy meeting people from different cultures? Do you enjoy international cuisine and learning new languages? Are you a RWNJ?

The ADF is currently recruiting for positions in America and also on US Military bases in WA. Surrender now.

Labor’s “boring”
now. While the media should focus on what Albo are and aren’t up to (Gaza, Gambling, AUKUS, Fossil Fuel and Mining Projects, SM Age Ban, Housing Policy failure etc) we are anesthetized to their play book and mediocrity. Whereas the MSM are fixated with any political controversy.

Take the govt out of the welfare loop. Tax payer direct to welfare recipient without the bureaucracy.

Everyday new Shitfuckery is being inflicted on the people living in America by Trump and his “administration”.

New schemes, in new locations across various and multiple aspects of society, community and business. Deeper, wider, more punitive.

Americans are the boiled frog.
