Can anyone explain Albo's fixation on pleasing America's lawless and cruel government? It's clear that China will soon be the world's most powerful country and is also our greatest trading partner, and Albo wants to stomp all over that? Is it our "learned from birth" racism that's behind this?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers earn an average of 84 cents for every dollar earned by other Australian workers, a new Indigenous-led study has found, amounting to a $3 billion annual shortfall in wages. www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article...

Indigenous workers are paid 16 per cent less than their counterparts
The disparity is responsible for some $3 billion in lost wages for Indigenous workers, and could reach $170 billion by 2050, with Indigenous women facing the biggest pay gap.

One Nation’s biggest haul in the Queensland Parliament: 11 seats. That came at the 1998 state election — 22.7% of the primary vote in the then 89-seat Legislative Assembly, mostly in regional seats. They’ve never matched it. Later peaks were 3 seats (2001) and 1 seat (2017 & 2020). Zero in 2024.
