#independents — Public Fediverse posts

Really grim proceedings in the House of Representatives today. The #Labor Party hand in hand with the #Liberals and #Nationals.

Occasionally, a few in the LNP cross the floor to vote uselessly against the fix.

Each division has the #Greens and the #Independents sitting together, consistently and determinedly representing the vast majority of Australians.

Fuck it #ALP, I have tried, really tried, to keep from criticising you lot. I am still hugely grateful for you being less crap than #ScottyFromMarketing, but, but ... it has been TWO YEARS now. How long are you going to sit on your hands staring uselessly at the levers?

There are some very very easy things you can do. The #Greens and #Independents give you all the power you need. Some ideas, you dumbfucks...

End:
- private school funding,
- fossil fuel subsidies,
- gambling adverts,
- religious exemptions to laws,
- negative gearing and
- #BorderForce

None of these require more than a few minutes work. Call Adam Bandt and a few Independents - you can have these done this week.

After that, have a go at some real work:
- Tax Carbon, systematically growing, until it bites #Santos hard enough to leave the country. Kick their arses on the way out.

Then (again, rock solid Greens and Independent support for these things. They'll take longer, but we have done *all* of them before):
- Kill The Job Network and rebuild CES,
- create a Public Housing Construction Commission
- implement all the Disability RC findings,
- implement all the RoboDebt RC findings and
- create a Public Retail Bank.

What in all the everliving fucks are you doing back there behind the curtain? Tell me you didn't take 'wanking on desks' as a Mission Statement?
