Crazy that we are subsiding an industry that’s has lowered our standard on living. Time to end diesel subsidies and bring in a tax on mining super profits.
Ken Henry, fmr Treasury secretary says the mining boom hollowed out Australian manufacturing leading to:
-abysmal productivity
-lower wages
-Lower living standards
-damaged Australia’s egalitarianism -worse intergenerational inequity

We continue to give contracts to big multinationals who don’t deliver on time, on budget, or sometimes even on functionality.
Our procurement system needs to ensure a level playing field for local companies that can provide the services govt needs.

Simon Birmingham just told the Press Club that giving a tax cut to every Australian taxpayer was a ‘travesty’.
It was not.
We want you to earn more and keep more of what you earn. Peter Dutton wants you to earn less and pay more tax. #auspol

Next month, American Christians will be celebrating the birth of a brown-skinned Middle-Eastern baby, born in Palestine, who was then taken across the border to seek asylum in a neighbouring country, fleeing government persecution. #Christmas #USPolitics #JesusWasARefugee

Here is the only survivor from my sister-in-law Dr. Dima Ashour's family, along with her husband, Dr. Mohammad Shabat. Please pray for their souls and for the swift recovery of their child, Jamal. I ask you, don't forget him in your prayers—he needs them more than ever now💔.

I strongly believe Australia needs truth in media laws. But what is the point of @AlboMP's and @MRowlandMP's misinformation bill if political messaging is exempt? Seriously?? #auspol @ThwaitesKate

If WA Labor approves this, @AustralianLabor and @tanyaplibersek will have to decided whether to approve a new export gas project with 4.3 BILLION tonnes of emissions.
Should play well in progressive marginal seats in the lead up to the election.

Looks like the half-million-dollar chair's position has just become untenable.
Or maybe a weak government doesn't want to risk offending media mates...
“What is the point of a watchdog, with a chair paid more than half a million dollars a year, if it has no bite?
And why hasn’t the ACMA started its own investigation into Kyle & Jackie O’s latest outrage? …”

Here is a picture of my niece who was born today in Gaza❤️. Unlike most newborns who arrive crying, she was unusually calm, as if her quiet gaze held silent messages. Despite being born amidst war and suffering, she looked at us as if to say: "Be calm; this war is nearing its end... Be calm; justice will soon spread across the world... Be calm; the sun of freedom is coming soon💔".
