I feel for you, @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social. This is what it’s like when a bank goes after you. Even if you win, you lose. The thing is, Parliament has been warned about this for decades, yet here we still are.

@australia.theguardian.com why don't you report on the REAL private debt? $4.87 trillion — around 168% of GDP Private debt was central to both the Great Depression and GFC, yet orthodoxy and the media obsess over $1 trillion of Commonwealth pseudo-debt that supposedly needs to be reined in

The REAL private debt rarely spoken about: $4.87 trillion — around 168% of GDP. Private debt was central to both the Great Depression and GFC, yet orthodoxy and the media obsess over $1 trillion of Commonwealth pseudo-debt that supposedly needs to be reined in.

Affordable medicines matter, so does access to primary and preventative care. Earlier GP visits and treatment can reduce later reliance on medication. Affordable medicines should be part of a functioning health system, not the joke that passes for one when people still struggle to access basic care.

The Brand new Kurri Kurri fossil fuel power station can export up to 660 MW. The proposed neighbouring AI data centre could consume 520 MW. That's nearly 80% of the station's export capacity. When renewables fail who will get priority?

Proposed data centre with new power station at the top of the picture.

You are correct about the main purpose, but for currency issuing governments like the UK, US & Australia, tax is not revenue

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

That still treats the Commonwealth like it needs tax revenue before it can act. It does not. A gas tax does not fund federal spending. It curbs windfall extraction, strengthens the public claim over gas, and shifts more of the benefit to Australians.

Pauline Hanson said in her national press club speech: "...Governments have no money of their own other than what they take from taxpayers..." Can anyone in One Nation explain who issues the $AUD taxpayers use to pay tax?

The poorest will be disproportionally poorer The disproportionally wealthy will be wealthier And the banks will make even greater super profits as the beneficiaries of interest driven austerity The cause is not the war, it is a political choice

THIS IS THE NEOLIBERAL WAY The health system just lost my Granddaughter, a trainee nurse due to unpaid placement. Another Granddaughter took a year off a teaching degree to save up for placement. IT'S NO JOKE

@mrrexpatrick.bsky.social the article started accurately referring to payments as 'Public Money', but then it slipped into the false and misleading 'Taxpayer money'. Lowe told you how money is created when you asked him. Have you forgotten?

But does the Government acknowledge Gas is worse than coal? "...Across all scenarios considered, total greenhouse gas emissions from LNG are larger than those from coal, ranging from 24% to 274% greater..." Link to peer review paper link 👇 www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i3ei2...

Stamp Duty is a State tax and to States this is revenue as they are currency users The Federal Government is the issuer of the currency and could choose reimburse the States and define what the funds must spend it on, say new state owned public housing? They can do this without taxing or borrowing

000

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? The Federal Government is the issuer of the $AUD, what progress did you make? All the real people I know have yet to see any real progress Mind you the Banks, Energy, Water, Mining and the disproportionately wealthy are doing well

In 1989, the Hawke @australianlabor.bsky.social Government reintroduced fees for university study in Australia. You burdened students & now you make a token gesture & expect gratitude Just get rid of them altogether

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

When is someone in the House of Representatives or the Senate going to stand up & state: "As issuer of the currency the Federal Government can purchase these services without borrowing or debt" Will it be you @davidpocock.bsky.social

Yet to see a journalist ask the critical questions: Is the budget really broken? Why does a currency issuing Fed Govt need to raise taxes or implement austerity? Why cant the Fed Govt which is not capital constrained, not build 1.2m homes? Interview to Prof Bill Mitchell @billmitchell.org

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Federal economic honesty would be refreshing Until @jimchalmers.bsky.social, the economic media & social commentariat acknowledge the currency issuing Federal Government is not capital constrained, any discussion on reform will be a self reinforcing feedback loop & talk fest

***NSW & VIC*** NO MATTER WHO YOU SUPPORT YOU NEED Dr ANDY SCHMULOW & ROBERT BARWICK IN THE SENATE In the House, vote with your heart❤️ In the Senate vote with your head 🦉 NSW = @drschmu.bsky.social VIC = Robert Barwick

The first sentence is sort of okay, but the rest is garbage The Federal Government is not capital constrained, it issues the $AUD It does not need gas taxes to pay for services & infrastructure Doesn't need any taxes or to sell bonds If it's doable it's affordable

You mob are no different to the Liberal/National coalition You all have been incrementally selling Australians out for at least five decades Thinking Australians would be INSANE to vote Red or Blue

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Target, fund, aspire are weasel words Form a state owned building authority & just build now In the interim purchase suitable homes being foreclosed by banks & hire accommodation as it was done during the pandemic

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Five decades ago Australians could build, own or rent a family home on one income The Red & Blue teams have run down and/or sold our housing stock, let the big private banks loose, sold our public bank & are in the pocket of the big end of town Australians would be INSANE to vote for either of you

010

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

To be honest I don't wish to here more of the platitudes & the proposed aspirational repair strategies to the destruction both have reeked on this country The ABC needs to give some airplay to the margins of politics where real innovation & change is born A third don't support Red or Blue

000

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Mate, they did once Have you ever tried to pay rent, mortgage & food with an 'Aspiration' Today @australianlabor.bsky.social is self serving & support the big end of town There is little difference between the Red team & the Blue team

010

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

YES WE HAVE A CHOICE Voters have chosen Red, then Blue, then Red, then Blue & things just keep getting worse The question is, are we INSANE?

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

We need more doctors and nurses And a public single payer health system with dental We don't need subsidized private health & insurance Not funny

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

In reality, what we call "public debt" is simply financial savings of the private sector. It could be eliminated or restructured without any economic constraint, only political ones. 5/5

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

The Federal Government should nationalise, own & run the Whyalla Steel Mill As the issuer of the currency it can do this without taxing or debt, nor does it have to make a profit And have it run by steel people, not parasite pen pushers, ex-bankers or politicians

No quote from the Red team? The Blue & Red team jointly oversaw this debacle

The one step forward does not fix or excuse the many steps back @australianlabor.bsky.social & the Coalition have left so many behind over decades I won't be voting for either

000

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

TOKANISTIC A lot of those subsidies would not have been required if @australianlabor.bsky.social didn't privatise the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories You also privatized the Commonwealth Bank, Qantas, the Moomba to Sydney Gas Pipeline, etc. A vote for the Red team & the Blue team would be INSANE

010

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Not just gambling Over decades the @australianlabor.bsky.social & the @australianliberals.bsky.social / National coalition have eroded & privatised Banking, Health, Education, Justice, Housing, etc. We need a bigger crossbench, we would be INSANE to to vote for the Red & Blue teams

020

Michael Sanderson @ecoproducer.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Just another disingenous distraction Both the @australianlabor.bsky.social & the Coalition have been cutting services & selling Australia's public assets for decades Australians would be INSANE to vote for the Red or Blue teams
