You wouldn’t know it from #auspol social media posts but we already have a version of “Mamdani-style” public grocery stores in Australia. It’s a Fed Govt owned entity called Outback Stores & there’s also a Low-Cost Essential Subsidy Scheme for 100 remote stores. Arguably a pretty similar model

In the first 8 months as VP, Vance has been on vacation 7 months. He's been on vacation with his family to India, Rome, Disneyland, the UK, the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont, & a park in North Dakota. And then he tells us to stop griping about costs calling them little things. Fuck Vance!

Exactly! I’ve been posting this meme hoping that understanding will go further.
Light purple handwriting-ish font on light blue background with leaf motifs around the edge. 
Says “The reason we have so many horrible old men in charge of everything right now is that we don’t ruin young rapists’ promising futures”

(Unfortunately the apostrophe is in the wrong place in the meme, but I couldn’t bear to repeat the mistake here!)

Crisafulli cancelled the Gold Coast Airport Light Rail in the same week he let Adani off the hook for paying any royalties or tax. So the money to build the next stage of the light rail was instead transferred into Adani's pockets.

Did you know that 83% of Australia’s gas is used for exports? Australia Institute research shows that over the past 5 years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years? A 25% tax on gas exports could end the gas shortages. #auspol
