    That *profit* was made simply because #DefenceHousing has been **privatized** as #NeoLiberal decision-makers are wont to do. Stupidest thing ever to have done. It’s **Not** looking after our diggers in the least.

  5. #YanisVaroufakis screams the *Obvious* in this Guardian Article. The #RBA decision to hike up the #CashRate ‘is not an anti-inflation policy. It is a cynical transfer of income from people who did not cause the problem to people who are, in fact, profiting handsomely from it.’ (Souce: theguardian.com/commentisfree/ )

    Not only are the #Oil importers fleecing all and sundry while the #US-Israeli war on #Iran and the #Russian war on #Ukraine provide the excuses to raise the price of a barrel, but the #GasExporters are racking it in because of increased demand worldwide. And in Australia, these gas #Grifters are profiting from minimal tax to no export tax whatsoever allowing #Japan to buy the Gas more cheaply and onsell it (some of back to Australia now and again) for a #profit (another cause of inflation). Meanwhile, every Australian #mortgagee is paying for it. Hence Varoufakis’s righteous indignation:

    “No plausible rise in the cash rate will open up the strait of Hormuz, or convince Gulf insurers to lower their premiums, or compel a barrel of Brent crude priced in a global market to come down because a Melbourne mortgage holder is stressed. What it will do is suppress Australians’ spending, wages, their ability to keep a roof over their heads, ultimately their economy’s capacity to invest and to produce. It is a little like treating a broken leg by amputating the healthy one.”

    No *wage earner* should put up with this vile economic trickery or the politicians who complicitely enable the #plunder of our #resources and our meagre, hard-earned income. It’s time to put **real representatives** in Parliament and not *stooges* for the #RentierClass

    Is it any wonder that #PHON appeals to the *Plebs* when #Poorlean taps into this kind of #Injustice ?

  9. This is rich. #FossilFuelCompanies blaming each other (as well as the NT govenment) for their own failures to clean up decommissionned wells. #Grifters blaming #other #Grifters for… check notes… #Grifting. What a bunch of *Scrooges*.

    They blame the NT govt because it’s not cutting corners in cleaning up the mess left behind in the #TimorSea by #Woodside and the company it sold the delapidated assets to as they wrote the #Endeavour off their books at around 100% discount — #Grifting never stops.

    And this is just **One** example of the industry’s absolute disregard for the #environment, their #SocialLicence and what they are legally required to do when retiring #wells. *Grifters* doesn’t half cover their despicable practices.

    At least the NT Govt has seen fit to #Fine the industry as a whole to cover the clean up costs and perhaps try to teach the industry a lesson they will not forget. They shoud double the fine imo — it’s not as if the fossil fuel industry can’t afford it. Even doubling wouldn’t cover the damage done over the years.
