So now we have politicians orchestrating their own media coverage showing they don't know the price of common household grocery items?

Instead of the Reserve Bank reducing inflation by increasing the amount of money we have to give to the banks, why not increase the amount of money we have to pay into our own superannuation accounts? #NewApproach #OurMoney #auspol

I have never had a convincing reason why not! Less gov costs with people better-funded for retirement, people preferring to pay into super rather than banks, more equitable tied to income rather than the burden on mortagees... the structure is already in place.

We used to have a rail network for transporting goods. How many of our roads were originally built - from foundation up - for the (increasingly) heavy truck traffic used for transport? Now we have a constant drain on council and state funds to patch up roads.

Somewhere tonight, people are feeding strangers, hiding refugees, stealing office supplies, sharing passwords, forgiving debts and lying to bureaucrats on behalf of someone poorer than them. Civilisation is held together by millions of tiny acts of non-compliance.
