25.01.2022 At what point does China say they discovered Australia first, therefore it is part of China? When do they begin posting troops to guard the port of Darwin to protect its interests there?

25.01.2022 It would seem that we the people are not responsible for the spread of COVID-19. Rather it is our small government minded LNP government and their love of privatising everything and leaving it to private industry to do all the work. It doesn't work that way.... Private industry is just that, private. It's main aim is to maximise any profit it can suck out of the system. It doesn't care about the quality of the work it is expected to perform. I heard one member of the LNP say private industry creates 9 out of 10 jobs. Of course it does, our government can't get out of its own way let alone create the necessary work and the associated jobs needed to get the country going again. The government should be the largest employer. It has the money and knows what needs to be done. Except if its a LNP government. It must go. https://www.theguardian.com//the-spread-of-coronavirus-is-

23.01.2022 Woolworths are sucking up to the Murdoch press by participating in News Corps "Thanks a Million - Celebrating the Pride of Australia awards. Kevin Rudd's petition for a royal commission into the Murdoch press is the largest ever. Not that you will read about it in one of Murdoch's rags. Despite the shit being heaped on him by the LNP aided by the Murdoch press, Daniel Andrews has saved Victoria and garnered overseas praise for his handling of the second wave of coronavirus in... his state. So wouldn't it appropriate for him to be nominated as the Pride of Australia, in news corps awards. So go fill in the form and pass it on: https://www.thanksamillion.net.au

23.01.2022 Australians are being forced to pay double the international rate for gas to prop up an industry so greedy it failed to read the signs. All three players in the gas export industry, plus Australia's largest gas and oil producer, have suffered massive losses as gas prices tumbled. Now the industry; aided and abetted by our LNP government is considering using taxpayers money to fund a pipeline to distribute gas to the east coast where gas prices are the highest in the world, ju...st to aid an industry who were warned their operations could become stranded assets However there is a simple solution to this problem. If you manage to read to the bottom of Ian Verrender's article you will find the following: "But the simple approach to problem-solving most often is the best. Rather than spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a dubious infrastructure project the private sector refuses to fund, perhaps it's time the Federal Government forced the exporters' hand. Deliver gas into the market at market prices. Or lose the export licence and be forced to deliver at home." https://www.abc.net.au//gas-led-coronavirus-econo/12587770

22.01.2022 Just a heads up in case the same is foisted on us here.

19.01.2022 So... cutting the corporate tax rate is going to stimulate the economy is it. Sounds good when touted by the LNP, but is it a reality in practice? No! Countries which have increased the corporate tax rate have boomed, while those who dropped theirs; the US is a prime example, have gone backwards big time. For fucks sake let it be known that Australia has a totally useless government, run by incompetents who constantly fail ordinary Australians.... Donald Horne was so correct when he wrote: "Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise" https://independentaustralia.net//you-want-a-strong-econom

19.01.2022 ICAN Australia (the International Campaign against Nuclear Weapons) will be celebrating the introduction of the "Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons" tomorrow; Friday 22nd January 2021. Anyone, everyone is invited to join in via ZOOM to join guest speakers, including Anthony Albanese, in celebrating this historic achievement. https://actionnetwork.org//celebrating-the-nuclear-weapon/

19.01.2022 The Australian government cannot go broke. It owns the Australian dollar, it can create as much money as is needed. The only restraint is too much money chasing too few products. This will cause runaway inflation. The idea of austerity is one reason a conservative government will never be the government of the people. Reducing monetary supply enslaves ordinary people and allows the rich to get richer.... https://www.watoday.com.au//states-urged-to-spend-another-

19.01.2022 Me thinks the Lady has it right.

17.01.2022 Is it too late for Morrison to be charged over this. OK so there is a statute of limitations, but that doesn't stop an LNP government backdating imaginary overpayments to pensioners and welfare recipients far beyond any seven year period. https://kangaroocourtofaustralia.com//looks-like-pm-scott/

15.01.2022 Another Royal Commission when Labor regains it's rightful place as Australia's government.

15.01.2022 And the LNP favourites pocket $10,000 to $12,000 per card per year, with a fair amount of this probably funnelled back to the LNP. Just another way taxpayer's money is being stolen, while further disadvantaging the disadvantaged.

15.01.2022 Fitzgibbon is a federal Labor MP who's sole desire is to keep his seat, rather than do what is the right and proper thing for the people of Australia. The idea that Labor will split is repugnant. It will allow the LNP to retain power and thus sink Australia further into the mire. Already we are seen as pariahs over our approach to climate change by touting the idea gas will lead us back into prosperity. Under the LNP there is no prospect of Australia becoming prosperous once ...more. https://www.theguardian.com//labor-would-have-to-be-politi See more

14.01.2022 Last line says it all.

14.01.2022 Morrison: toxic at best, but he has never been and never will be best.

13.01.2022 Looks a bit like the LNP.

13.01.2022 Fresh water makes up less than 1 (ONE) percent of our planet's water. Most of it is or was locked up in the icecaps of the Arctic and Antarctic. 28 trillion tonnes of ice lost in 30 years, and the rate of loss is increasing. At this rate the often despised desalination plant will become our only source of water. Here in Bathurst we often see the really heavy falls of rain pass us by.... WE need a government that realises the dire state of our nation and the world and gets on with the job of addressing climate change.

12.01.2022 Why do we have an ad man for a prime minister? An ad man with a fat mouth at that. Imagine if China had told the world how bad Australia's treatment of our Indigenes is; the intolerable conditions people in aged care must put up with. Imagine if China advocated the use of inspectors to come into Australia and report on conditions these people must endure. First it was barley, then beef, now our wine. Of course its political. Even if what China says is wrong, will it make any ...difference? Morrison is not a diplomat and far from being a statesman. We have the wrong government. We need a new one, a Labor government and we need it now. https://www.abc.net.au//china-eyes-australian-win/12571672

11.01.2022 How can someone as seemingly corrupt as Angus Taylor be in government. If what is written in this article is even half right he should resign and pack his bags ready for a long jail sentence. We needed a federal ICAC in 2013 when the federal LNP slid out from under their rock and slithered into parliament. We need it even more now. https://www.michaelwest.com.au/angus-taylor/

10.01.2022 And some of the people let them get away with this.

10.01.2022 This is a good read and shows the LNP has no idea of how to handle the economy, except to reward its masters at the top of town. Bathurst Labor has posted on modern monetary theory before and this article takes it a step further by proposing a separate body to set fiscal policy. Governments would still be free to say how and where the money can be spent, but they would not be free to reward the rich by dropping top tax rates as the LNP is doing. This fiscal authority would ha...ve the power to create money, to raise or lower the tax rate to free up money or restrict supply and thus keep the inflation rate within a specific range. We the people would be the beneficiaries of this new and vastly improved monetary policy. https://www.abc.net.au//economic-rebuilding-after/12563664

10.01.2022 Here is or was a Liberal who has set out to shame our totally useless prime minister and his equally useless government. Its a pity this piece had to come from a once Fairfax paper and not from one of Murdoch's rags as it will never manage to be read by the ignoramuses who believe the shit Morrison spouts.

10.01.2022 Labor. The only ones who say anything worth remembering.

07.01.2022 Hands up anyone who DIDN'T know this would happen!

07.01.2022 I for one attempt as far as possible to not purchase fruit and vegetables imported for the USA. The same applies to imports from China. I prefer to buy Australian produce. However, several years ago, after reading about imports of citrus from Brazil and producers from Narromine and The Riverina pulling their trees out of the ground and burning them it seems imports are are more important than Australian grown fruit. Now our apple growers are under attack from US imports. So how long will it be before they too are uprooting their trees? Not just from imported fruit, but imported pests as well. https://www.abc.net.au//us-apples-get-biosecurity/12817398

07.01.2022 Only Labor will grant a livable rate.

06.01.2022 The government does not have a definition of poverty, "because they consider their payments system is very comprehensive and specifically targeted towards providing the policy outcomes that are defined by the particular [support] measures," What utter crap! Just another example of an unfeeling; bash them while they're down, bunch of rear ends. https://www.abc.net.au//australians-choose-povert/12837930

03.01.2022 Sign it, help support Labor.

03.01.2022 So sad to hear of the passing of Susan Ryan. She did much to improve the status of those who lacked the ability to do so themselves. This was despite the efforts of robber barons such as Andrew Forrest, Jerry Harvey and Solomon Lew who denigrated anyone they considered to be inferior beings, all the while stealing what should have been the property of the people, aided and abetted by their LNP lackeys. https://www.abc.net.au//former-minister-susan-rya/12705746

02.01.2022 First it was the intercity trains that are too long to fit on curved platforms. Now our mickey mouse LNP state government has presented us with ferries that will decapitate passengers sitting on the top decks as they pass under bridges on the Parramatta river. What's wrong with this unruly mob of incompetents. Maybe if the ferries; and trains, had been made in Australia instead of being farmed out overseas, the ferries to Indonesia and the trains to China, there may have been... a bit of nous applied by real people with a real understanding of Australian conditions. But no. The cheaper the better seems to be the motto of the lunatics running that asylum we call a state government. Except when it comes to car parks and stadiums. https://www.abc.net.au//sydney-news-ferries-wont-/12587160
