Australians waited way too long for a National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). The fact that it is failing in its intended reason for being is a disgrace. NACC Commissioner Brereton must go, as it is no longer tenable for him to stay in the job following his compromised performance. Robodebt hangs over the NACC like the shameful episode in Australian government history it is. Never have the Australian people been so betrayed by a federal government and its administrative bodies. It is topical too because this automated f*** up bears the hallmarks of AI – the much heralded artificial intelligence.Continue Reading

Israel Killing Palestinian Children Enmasse

Israel is a worsening problem for Palestinians and the world. This festering boil in the Middle East has reached a critical stage. The inhumanity of the Netanyahu regime toward Gazans continues unabated. Israel killing Palestinian children enmasse. Starving women, men and children to death, following killing more than 60, 000 Palestinians by bombing the shit out of Gaza is beyond the pale. Hamas may have started this latest conflict but killing so many innocent people is unacceptable. What we are witnessing is the racism of the world writ large, where Arab life is considered less important than our own. America backing the Netanyahu led Israel throughout this conflict is testament to this.Continue Reading

We Have Always Looked To America

In Australia, we have always looked to America for ideas and inspiration. Indeed, our business community models itself on the US via importing their CEOs and MBAs. The push from the big end of town and the LNP Coalition is, invariably, toward making this nation more like the USA. Former PM Tony Abbott tried to privatise higher education, thankfully, unsuccessfully. The Libs have wanted to kill off Medicare for some 50+ years, again, thankfully, without success. Peter Dutton, the unseated former Liberal leader of the opposition, brought out Donald Trump’s campaign director downunder to assist with the last federal election. This proved not to be a great idea for Peter and the party.Continue Reading

Trump Shoots The Economic Messenger

The Trump economy labour statistics fall to half as many jobs created as the Biden economy at the same time last year. In childish retaliation Donald Trump fires the official responsible for the statistics. Trump shoots the economic messenger. The American people under this authoritarian regime lose another objective guide to what is happening with their economy. The liar in the White House is wrecking the economy with his crazy tariffs creating uncertainty everywhere. Who can afford to invest when they don’t know what the f*** is going on? The US is heading for a huge fall via these globally unpopular economic policies.Continue Reading

AI Will Decimate Income Tax Revenue Downunder

None other than James Packer, son of the great anti-tax champion billionaire Kerry Packer, is warning that AI will decimate tax revenue downunder. Why? It is because Australia depends upon the income tax from workers for the lion’s share of its tax revenue. AI has already started shedding jobs in middle management and the numbers are going to ramp up substantially very soon. The loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs to machines will impact the bottom line severely. Especially, as multinational corporations and rich people avoid paying tax in Australia.Continue Reading

Australian Media Directed By News Corp

By:

The Australian media is directed by News Corp and its pro-American perspective. The assumption promulgated by the Murdoch press is that China is bad and the US is good. That the evil communists are threatening the world whilst America stands for all that is right. Of course, with Donald Trump in the White House this rationale is absurd. Unless you have been living in isolation for the last year you would know that Uncle Sam is on the nose in 2025. Trump has attacked, economically and verbally, America’s long standing allies. He has threatened Canada and Greenland with the spectre of some sort of invasion. Trump has seemingly backed Putin and the Russians in their illegal invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, China has been the bastion of peaceful stability in contrast with the turmoils of Trump’s United States.Continue Reading

The Epstein Files & Donald Trump

You know how this whole thing works, don’t you? Rich elite men preying upon young girls for sex. Jeffrey Epstein, the pimp, and Ghislaine Maxwell the groomer of young girls. He dangles the bait, the ripe fresh meat, in front of the billionaire or politician. He whispers in the ear of Mister Magnificent, ”you are the big swinging dick and you deserve this.  Rules are not for people like us, we are above all that.“ What do you get for the man who has everything? Illicit sex with minors. Success breeds contempt. The Epstein files and Donald Trump are at the nub of the celebrated American billionaire factory.Continue Reading

The fact that private property has been damaged and graffiti daubed on walls in a couple of Australian cities means these are law and order issues. Australia does not have an antisemitism problem on this basis. Talk about political manipulation and overreach. We have police forces capable of adequately dealing with these relative few instances of criminal damage. Most Australians know that there is a protest movement engaged in drawing attention to the genocide being committed by Israeli forces in Gaza, where more than 50, 000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF. Passions are high among the Australian Arab population and younger Aussies more generally – this is understandable in light of what is going on.Continue Reading

American Culture Is So Phony

Is there a more dishonest bunch of people than Americans? American culture is so phony. The Epstein files and their promise of shock and horror are a point of fact in this. The Trump administration is full of individuals who made much of the cover ups of this material prior to being appointed by Donald Trump to head the FBI. Now, these loud mouths like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are suddenly singing from a different song sheet. Nothing to see here folks, according to the former right wing podcasters. Jeffrey Epstein was a pimp for high profile elites like Donald Trump, Prince Andrew and a slew of others. He died in prison awaiting trial.Continue Reading

tax the rich

In Australia they are talking about raising the flat consumption tax called the GST. Increasing the GST hurts the working poor more. After 4 years of a cost of living crisis due to high inflation, exacerbated by price gouging by big corporates, and the Reserve Bank steeply raising interest rates the experts think that the poor folk need another kicking. Who do you think copped it in the neck the most over this period? And prices on essentials have not come down, they are merely not rising by so much. Does the federal government really think that those hurting the most financially deserve another price hike on everything?Continue Reading
