  1. The number of multinational in the States was highest in in 2024, according to data. Estonia had 1,199 , while had 984 and just 746.

  2. Despite #ARSEHAT #Albanese complaining that it is “dishonest”, the campaign for a #HigherTax on #GasExports appears to be striking home with voters, the #EssentialPoll shows today. #auspol

    Working for the #multinationals, not the voters or #Australia.

    I can’t wait to see the back of the man.

  3. This statment by the CEO of the Business Council Association is exactly what our #AlboPM is parroting publically:

    “Mr Black gave evidence to the Senate inquiry on its second day of public hearings, arguing a levy would be “counterproductive” at a time when Australia needs more investment. […] Energy investors are like butterflies – if they are scared, they fly away,” he said, citing the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA).”

    Which, of course, is absolute BS. All that investors need for incentive is a sound #BusinessCase that promisses #Profit. ANY PROFIT above the #CashRate will do. It doesn’t have to be the promisse of #Pilfering or #Sacking an economy FFS. ANy fool understands this. WHY doesn’t the #PM get it? If #AlboPM is not fool (and I have no reason to think he is), then HE IS COMPLICIT in the rape and sacking of the country by #Multinationals and the #ExtractiveIndustries - pure and simple (Because based on numbers, it’s not about jobs). And the #NationalSecurity ballon won’t fly here either.

    I’m getting fed up hearing this neoliberal lie over and over and over again…

  4. yes the deliberate #destruction and #exploitation of the #middleclass with not enough #lobbyism by (mostly the #finance #financial #lobby ) in #washington and #berlin is beyond scandalous
    just look at effective tax rate of #multinationals like #amazon and the #smu small business and you have the first problem that no one adressed in 30 years #taxjustice #taxinjustice

  7. Another day, another multinational gets a ‘record’ fine for trashing irreplaceable nature. Alcoa just copped $55M AUD for illegally clearing over 2,000 hectares of WA’s precious jarrah forest for bauxite mining (2019-2025). Called ‘unprecedented’ by the govt, but for a company with billions in revenue? Total slap on the wrist while they keep mining. Jarrah forests aren’t renewable. 😡

  8. A billion-dollar drug was discovered in soil samples from Easter Island decades ago, but the question remains — what do scientists and pharmaceutical companies owe the Indigenous Rapa Nui people whose land and knowledge were drawn upon?
    This case highlights the urgent need for fair benefit sharing, ethical research practices, and genuine respect for Indigenous sovereignty when global industries profit from local resources.

  9. Did you know the % of actual food vs filler in packaged goods can huge-ly vary?
    One tin of tuna had 35% tuna (cheap flavour-oil brand), while another had 73.5% (premium brand in spring water). Same goes for tomato tins, chicken nuggets, etc.

    When you shop:
    • look beyond the branding or flavouring
    • check the % of main ingredient
    • compare unit price and nutrition panels

    What matters most to you, taste? nutrition? cost? Pick your priority & read the label.

  10. A true worldwide minimum tax does not exist, not even on transnational corporations.

    "Tax breaks inflate dividends […] while austerity restricts opportunities for younger generations."

  11. STARBUCKS ACCUSED OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    Eight Brazilian people have decided to sue Starbucks in the United States for violating the law against human trafficking.
    Supporting them is lawyer Terry Collingsworth, who is already in a fight with other multinationals.

  12. @eco-g Standard accounting for many multinational corporations. This lack of oversight and poor regulation is not an accident. It's the result of decades of collusion and influence between government and corporate grifters. #taxation #loopholes #coffee #multinationals

  13. Not a peep from Australia's mainstream media! The Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition has praised the Australian government for passing world-leading tax transparency laws. These laws will require many large multinationals, including up to half of all major U.S. firms, to publicly report country-by-country tax and financial data for high-risk jurisdictions linked to profit shifting and tax avoidance. A big step forward for accountability!

  16. The global #food system is increasingly controlled by fewer companies, harming our #health, communities, and the #planet. Over 800 million people worldwide go hungry every day, and more than 2 billion have limited access to food. Yet, our current food system produces enough to feed everyone on #Earth.

  21. #Optus parent company is #Singtel, which in turn is majority owned by the Singaporean government's #sovereignwealthfund Temasek.
    Think about that, Aus governments have been busy offloading #qantas, #telstra #hospitals, #nursinghomes, roads, ports, powerstations, powerpolls etc etc. Basically, it is our vital infrastructure flogged off to foreign based (think #caymanislands ) #multinationals for peanuts ....
    #cleverCountry ? I don't think so

  22. @noondlyt
    I can see your point, but I tend to have a more optimistic view.

    As the #French Revolution blew away the oligarchs of old (#aristocrats), I think the pendulum of history has reached its maximum amplitude: wealth concentration in the hands of #billionaires, #trusts, and #multinationals is about to reach its climax.

    If the momentum of the #Fediverse could be kept, #society just might reach...

  23. I'm studying how #multinationals align on #GlobalValueChains as a multilayer #network
    Which way would you go to analyze how the two layers synchronize or not @networkscience ?
    I've gone through a QAP but any other idea is welcome!
