Under Albanese, Labor is "a party that is increasingly conflict averse
...and if it's not willing to go into battle with entrenched interests, then what exactly does it care about?" - Sean Kelly.
The result is a government enabling powerful entrenched interests to run public policy. #auspol

A party once defined by its dissent and debate has become scared of conflict, to the point where its identity is formed not by beliefs, but by a commitment to staying in power no matter what.

“Why did the Palestinians initiate this on Oct 7?”
Max Blumenthal (Jew): “They didn’t. This war has been going on for 75 years. Israel initiated it in 1948 by ethnically cleansing 750,000 people.”

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.
Which is also why you should share it.

Time for your regular reminder that

B) how much you worry about the Coalition is up to you
C) the more you worry about the Coaltion’s irrelevant opinions the less pressure is on the ALP to stop approving new gas & coal

Government offers major concessions on proposed super tax increase
The government has bowed to pressure on its superannuation tax policy, one of the few revenue-raising measures it had promised, two years on from when it was first announced.

well, it's got something to do with who runs the government.
oh, it's those "elected officials".
no.
it's who pays the money. big fucking money and it brings returns beyond anyone's comprehension.
it's rigged and we are played like a violin.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Coalition dearly loves a 'cruel hoax' – now it has become one
Pretending the Coalition matters, or its criticisms are worth anything, allows Labor to get away even less. That is the cruellest hoax.
