The Aus Gov has the means to tackle poverty. They can fix welfare payments, target full employment and better fund social housing. These steps would go a long way to reducing poverty for the 3.7 million living below the poverty line. It’s all about priorities. #antipovertyweek

Guardian Australia headline that says: Donations to major parties and an ex-premier as lobbyist: how data centres play the political game in Australia.

There’s a photo of Anthony Albanese smiling.Newspaper article copy that says: On 14 June 2025, Anthony Albanese stood inside an enormous sphere of glass and steel, surrounded by 40,000 plants from around the world. His mind was firmly fixed on datacentres. The prime minister was in the Seattle headquarters of Amazon Web Services. He stood alongside the company’s chief executive, Matt Garman, who outlined a $20bn plan to build datacentres in Melbourne and Sydney.

Speaking to a travelling press pack, Garman was emphatic that Australia was “incredibly important and a great market” for the world’s biggest datacentre company.

Within days of Albanese returning home, Amazon reported its largest payment to an Australian political party on record. The company’s federal disclosures show a $46,500 payment to the Labor party’s federal branch on 28 June.
