Australia’s 178 billionaires are $25.7bn richer than last year as 3.7 million live in poverty

I'll rephrase... Almost 7k dollars stolen from each of 3.7 million people who could actually use it.
Right, but way more if you count what went to overseas billionaires.
It probably isn't actually $7k from those 3.7 million people. It's more like $1k from every Australian. They haven't only taken from the poorest among us.
Yes, but i like to imagine that the people are one group, so stealing from one working class person is a problem for everyone.
But it's "just not the right time now to look into it"
You can do marvels, with a few beams and a metal blade. Doesn't cost a lot, too.
I see what you did there
the system is deeply entrenched
we need ways to live while we also fight for economic justice
join a union
share housing costs
have strong family and friendship and community ties
Oh hey, I'm in the 3.7M club, Kinda makes me feel less alone.
Vote Green
Vote Labor, they're changing the capital gains tax discount. You can't deny that their actions align with the phrase "tax wealth, not work".
Also the Greens are NEVER going to win a federal election.
Preferential voting means you can vote greens to show you want a less centrist party, and put Labor 2nd. For when the greens don't win.
This right here. Vote Labor. The Worker's Party. They're making such good change (no they're not perfect).
No party beholden to voters can be perfect. The Greens aren't beholden to voters (and aren't perfect anyway).
A fuckton better than the Harpy and her pigsty of shitbrained bogans champing at the bit to spread their racist filth to the streets.
We need a real socialist party. And a way to educate the masses about what socialism actually is so they're not terrified of it.
Imagine, there are people with billions of dollars - essentially an infinite money supply - and they're NOT using it to end homelessness, or improve conditions for the poorest.
People will die in our streets this winter, while some Australian have 10 digits in their bank accounts.
Cunts.
So wrong...
