Simply put, if the #Service is a #SocialBenefit widely available to Aus residents (in one sector or another such as #Health and #SocialSupport of any kind) then it should be a #PublicService #NotForProfit deliverable. No exceptions whatsoever. Anything else is plainly #StateCapture and #Theft and #Rorts IMO.

Not much in msm about the 1st Transitioning Conference in Santa Marta, Columbia. SO here is my last toot for the day (promisse).
“Still, Australia did sign the Belém Declaration. We are very good at agreeing to things, though not so good at doing them…So with that in mind, the real question is always what Australia does when it gets home. Apparently, what we do is open new gas exploration tenders.”

#NeoLiberals will do what neoliberals do… sell the Sate to private enterprise. They’re such #Grifting hypocrites, because I refuse to believe that they do not know that #StateCapture is harmful to society.#Privatisation has never, in written history, benefited society and only leads to degradation of services and eventual parlous state requiring public bailouts… meanwhile #TheRich have sucked all the $$$ out of it in the process. This is a familiar merry-go-round, seen before, seeing it again, and unless things change we’ll see it again… the great golden goose that never fails to deliver to the top end of town.

Some home truths about the #Labor govt (and the two party duopoly by association) from #GregJerich writing for deepcutnews-dot-com this time — it really doesn’t matter who he writes for, The Point , The Guardian or here, he’s such a clear and insightful economic analyst everywhere he appears.
“The Labor Party finally saw the need to actually do things, but it remains wedded to the view that fiscal responsibility and hard choices are needed.”

@randahl
The pig is turning the office of POTUS into a corporate enterprise for himself and his cronies… and the US public sit on their arses and accept this overt #StateCapture as if it’s going to be great for them. It took less for the French to take to streets, armed and angry, to depose their King. The #US #King is no less vulnerable. What’s wrong with you #America ? -

What is #AlboPM up to…? Richard Denniss has some answer, and a warning for him, here:
“It was no accident that Labor waited until after the 2025 election to announce its support for the massive North West Shelf gas project, just as it was no accident that Labor waited until after the 2022 election to announce $1.9 billion worth of taxpayer subsidies for the Middle Arm gas project in Darwin. Labor keeps betting that voters will forgive and forget their support for fossil fuels expansion, but while that might work nationwide, it’s far less likely to work in the inner-city seats Labor is hanging on to by the skin of their teeth.”

Why wont this #SuperMajority party legislate a #Tax on #GasSuperProfits when the passing of the bill is handed to the Govt on a silver platter? All that is required to fix the budget, to provide the required #SafetyNet social services and more is a #SimpleYES and it’s done. THe chances of those progressive legislations being overturned by the opposition is NIL That is unless #SpinelessAlbo persists in his #HateCampaign against the #Greens which would effectively feed a #rebellion at the next election leading to unpredictable results. I’m stupid, and I can see that coming Albo! Wasting the opportunities given to you by the electorate to shape an Australia that cares for all Australians.
“Speaking on the Australia Institute’s Follow the Money podcast, Greens leader, Senator Larissa Waters, said the party’s new “Tax the 1%” campaign was aimed at securing major reforms that target ultra-wealthy Australians and gas exporters.” (Source: https://thepoint.com.au/news/260512-if-we-dont-act-well-end-up-like-the-us-greens-leader-larissa-waters-calls-for-tax-on-the-1)

#AlanKohler is on board with Govt doing the job of building #SocialHousing as it cuts through a number of walls that seem intent on making sure Australia will never have enough houses to meet the needs of its population at an affordable cost/price.
“Like the NDIS (and child care), housing affordability is unsustainable and can't be left to be a by-product of monetary policy, the productivity and profitability of the building industry and the zoning vagaries of local councils.
And as with the NDIS (and child care), intergenerational fairness requires a radical solution: the government could do worse than going back to building some houses.” (Source: ABC News)

“The overarching trend in these policy developments indicates a movement towards a managed market environment where regulatory frameworks increasingly dictate price signals rather than relying solely on traditional supply and demand dynamics.”This is a significant shift in how markets have operated and counter to NeoLiberalism and its tell-tale #StateCapture inroads. I must say, it has been a long time coming. In terms of globally connected economies, it will be a fine line for govts to tread IMO.
Keen to read your upcoming report.
Thanks John. -

@gusseting
I kind of agree with you, about the controling aspects of the #FossilFuelLobby. On the other hand, if not for fossil fuel, there would be other lobbies seeking #StateCapture. It is in the #moneyedClass interest to excert as much influence as money can buy after all. Remember the Tabacco Lobbies of yore? Same thing. Today we can also point to the #GamblingIndustry and increasingly #DefenceIndustries.Unfortunately, with power comes #Greed and #Corruption and #TheRich like it that way. All we can do is stay one step behind our #Leaders ensuring we don’t fall too far back. And the only way to do that is through the ballot box, consistent activism and community-led campaigns (including petitions, protest sit-ins/marches and boycotts, etc.).
I’m hopeful that consistent messaging by communities eventually cuts through to polies and that our govt (of whatever ilk) will eventually push back against #Zionism and its growing influence in everyday Australian social life because it is so egregious atm.
Also more peeps ought to have a good long think about it all and take a moral and ethical stand vis a vis #Gaza, #WestBank #Lebanon, etc. not much help if peeps keep watching #FoxFakeNews and similar #Cronies IMO.
In the grand scheme of things, we need to break up #Oligarchies , #Oligopolies and get serious about progressive #TaxReform.

Also more peeps ought to have a good long think about it all and take a moral and ethical stand vis a vis #Gaza, #WestBank #Lebanon, etc. not much help if peeps keep watching #FoxFakeNews and similar #Cronies IMO.
In the grand scheme of things, we need to break up #Oligarchies , #Oligopolies and get serious about progressive #TaxReform.

I kind of agree with you, about the controling aspects of the #FossilFuelLobby. On the other hand, if not for fossil fuel, there would be other lobbies seeking #StateCapture. It is in the #moneyedClass interest to excert as much influence as money can buy after all. Remember the Tabacco Lobbies of yore? Same thing. Today we can also point to the #GamblingIndustry and increasingly #DefenceIndustries.Unfortunately, with power comes #Greed and #Corruption and #TheRich like it that way. All we can do is stay one step behind our #Leaders ensuring we don’t fall too far back. And the only way to do that is through the ballot box, consistent activism and community-led campaigns (including petitions, protest sit-ins/marches and boycotts, etc.).

How’s this for a complete and frank confession that the #Labor Govt is Wholy Owned by the #CorporateGiants making bucket loads of profit from #Raping the land and #Pillaging Australian #Resources:
“Trade minister Don Farrell said on Friday “we’re not changing our policies in respect to gas” and that “the most important thing” was to honour existing export contracts.”
Well, Mr #Farrell, for your information, the gas export contracts have nought to do with you or your govt. It is a #Commercial contract from which #Santos and others derive an outrageous profit. So if we were to #Tax that, it would reduce theirt bottom line by the same percentage without any change to the contracts they hold (unless they contain some cagey and dogey clauses — but that a commercial issue again and commercial law, nothing to do with the Govt.)
Nothing more is needed from our govt to prove that #StateCapture is alive and thriving in Aus when a Trade Minister goes to bat for an #ExtrativeIndustry Private Corporation! You just wait until the next election or by-elections, we’ll teach you a thing or two.
