This EV surge is of course only available to the wealthy ... no one I know could afford to rent a house and buy one of these. Shameful.

Well, I haven't been a fan of how the Greens have been going under her leadership, but very sorry to hear of Larissa Waters' health and hope she recovers soon. And I hope whoever leads the Greens next really picks up the fight. It could hardly be more urgent.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

"For 30 years Australia stopped building homes the way it builds hospitals and roads, and left shelter to a market that now prices a median home at 8.4 times a median income." Labor & LNP worry about grievance-fueled One Nation. Too much to expect they fess up and blame their own neoliberal policy?

This is in response to several "what the hell are you on about?" replies to a post today. But these are just the latest examples of a widespread determination not to know.

we could have a royal commission and centre policing or we could just ban alcohol ads, ban gambling ads, jam all online promotion and delivery of gambling and alcohol products, and redirect the tax revenue to victim services. And see if that helps.

2/ ... more, it offends against humanity and truth by being calm where one should be enraged, by refraining from accusation where accusation is in the facts themselves. Herbert Marcuse, Repressive Tolerance 1965.

1/ ... if a newscaster reports the torture and murder of civil rights workers in the same unemotional tone he uses to describe the stockmarket or the weather, or with the same great emotion with which he says his commercials, then such objectivity is spurious...

I am very pleased to learn this morning that thanks to French astronomer Jean-Claude Merlin & the official procedures of the International Astronomical Union: Shriekback now has a minor planet (681819) named after them. Well deserved, talk about an underrated band..FFS.

Labor backbenchers have been out in force the past few days spruiking "increases" in Centrelink payments. To be very, very clear: this is absolute bullshit. This is an automatic CPI adjustment, not an increase. Labor is still keeping people on income support in poverty.

These things are designed to only be available to the wealthy. Electric cars, for one example...nobody I know could come close to affording one; nobody I know could even come close to solar and batteries. Nobody.
