A HUGE turn-around by The Greens I criticised them earlier this year for not registering with Gen Z A change of leader, strong social media presence and an appallingly dysfunctional body politic of major parties mired in ideology-delivering-nothing The change is amazing bsky.app/profile/davi...

If there's no balance then the RBA will get it wrong. We can see the impact now of the current actions and how that is right wing thinking. We are basically being pushed austerity by the RBA. They have been pretty slow to debunk the issue is government spending, not corporations #auspol

I really do not understand the retailers’ reaction to the card surcharge change. I just received a post from a local restaurant where they have increased all prices by .25 to cover the surcharge. This means if I pay by cash I am also paying the credit card charge. This is ridiculous people. #auspol
