Senate enquiry: University Funding.
““We don’t endorse this sort of marketisation of universities…Essentially every university should be good.” (The Australian Institute giving evidence)Not sure that telling a bunch of #NeoLiberal acolytes sitting in the benches is going to cut through… 1) we’ve all known for almost two decades now that “trickle down economics” is a euphamism for the concentration of wealth in fewer hands and 2) universities should be excellent, not just good, despite the #fascist tendencies of Office holders to keep the masses as illiterate as can be in order to preserve the privileged class’ standing in society..
The #AlboPM cotterie in charge of our lives is going to do what it wants to do (as little as that might be) come what may. After all the govt can always get the *official* Opposition to vote whatever centre-right policies they put forward.

Aside from drawing a line in the sand on the #Corruption issue (a good thing), the new #Labor premier of Victoria has made the same lazy declarations that are made by #Clueless govts all over Australia:
“Carroll is also pledging to be more pro-business and tougher on crime.”
Business support and Tough on Crime, we’ve only been spared the BS on Immigration… and this is supposed to be a #Labor govt? So the rot has spread from #AlboPM ‘s federal #NeoLiberalism to #Victoria (It’s been ensconced in #NSW for years; alive and blundering along in #QLD).
Goodness me folks, are we going to re-elect these dimwits to govt? Or are we really going to take the fight up to the major parties by voting anyone else but #labor and #LNP ? Nor, if I need to mention it, #PHON — we’re not THAT desperate.
Who’s with me on this?

It doesn’t look like the Victorian Parliamentary Labor Causus was opposed to Allen’s legislative agenda as much as it was unconvinced Labor could win the coming election under her leadership. It might mean that Allen has burned through too much political trust with the electorates of Victoria and that the Party needs a new ‘face’ with an agenda that addresses Allen’s electoral shortcomings… Accountabilty, Transparency and action on corruption allegations.
IMO there is are lessons here for #AlboPM and #2028Elections
