CASH FLOODS INTO SHADY NURSERIES
Councils are paying huge amounts, up to £2 million per child, to unregulated nurseries. This raises questions about child safety and public money.

Local councils are paying up to £2 million for each child placed in unregulated nurseries. This is much higher than normal costs.

On the face of it Victoria's childcare is in crisis but you must consider that this worker will be able to take the baby for a nice ride on an underground train, so not all doom and gloom then.

Australia now has 48 billionaires (up 8 since 2020, because why not?), and these 48 people collectively hold more wealth than the bottom 40% of the entire population — that's roughly 11 million everyday Aussies combined.
Meanwhile, the average Aussie billionaire's wealth grew by almost $600,000 per day over the past year. That's right — while rents climb, groceries hurt, and 3.7 million people (including 757,000 kids) live below the poverty line, the ultra-rich are casually printing half a mil a day. Totally normal, totally moral.
Oxfam is calling it what it is: inequitable, unsustainable, and amoral.
Their big ask? A 5% wealth tax on billionaires alone could've raised $17.4 billion just last year — enough to fund universal cheap childcare, extend energy bill relief for years, massively boost humanitarian aid, and actually ease the housing/childcare squeeze that's crushing everyone else.
Throw in scrapping negative gearing, killing the capital gains tax discount for the wealthy, and maybe a broader progressive wealth tax on the top 0.5%, and suddenly there's real money to fix the things governments always say "we can't afford".
But sure, let's keep protecting the system that lets 48 people out-wealth 11 million, while the rest of us argue about whether $2 milk is a human right. Classic Australia 2026.
Tax the rich. Disrupt the vicious cycle. Make billionaires pay their fair share for once.***Side note:***
For context, the AFR Rich List 2025 (from May 2025) counts 161 Australian billionaires in AUD$ terms (net worth of AUD$1 billion or more), with the top 200 controlling $667.8 billion total and an entry threshold of $747 million (far higher than the ~$65 million needed in the 1980s). Oxfam deliberately highlights the ultra-elite 48 (Forbes USD threshold) for the most dramatic inequality stats, but the broader picture shows even greater concentration of extreme wealth.#taxtherich #wealthtax #auspol #inequality #billionaires #oxfam #economicjustice #housingcrisis #childcarecrisis #povertyinaustralia #eattherich

They repurpose existing space, serving not only as care facilities but as a strategic employment benefit for school districts.

Now, the question before the Alabama supreme court, isn’t it cruel to keep children in a freezer? And what about natural mensuration, all those children and no care for them. And for men, spermatozoa just go on their merry way all over the place! Jail-time? #childcarecrisis #freezerburns #mensuration #masturbation #conception #birth-control #conception #ChristoFascism
