RE: https://aus.social/@eddyjokovich/116593150729197308
There is a lot of legislative work to be done if govt(s) are going to do something about putting Australia on better footings to cope with what is coming down the line. And #Madhats (#LNP #Nats #PHON) aren’t ever going to do anything about it. Our meak and timid #Labor govt(s) are too caught up in the #Newscycle to roll up their collective sleeves and get to work (time is running out, that much is obvious) and that leaves a #CluelessElectorate , too #UnderThePump to see their way clear to send the only electoral message that ought to matter to all Australians, that is to vote for the #Greens next time around. Because only the Greens will act out of #Ideology (the good and prgressive kind for the greater good) and not #ElectoralSelfInterests (a nice way of saying #Corruption and #StateTheft #NeoLiberalism )

I would’ve thought that the Justice system, the third pillar of democratic govt, was too critical to ‘outsource’ and definately not a branch of government that ought to have any of its functions #Privatised and milked for ‘#Profits’ . It’s bad enough that the legal profession is privatised leading to wealth being a determinent in the quality of legal representation one is afforded in Court and hence better legal outcomes for those represented, but Court functions #outsourced to #PrivateEnterprises should never occur. All Court processes ought to remain fully under govt funding and appropriate publicly-owned services IMO.This case is an yet example of #StateTheft and #StateCapture brought to you by the ‘debunked’ #NeoLiberal order. The #Grifters are getting into all aspect of our democracy in order to feather their own nest and enslave the rest of us a la #Fascist #America and its #tRumpAdministration.

This is not just about ‘taking the piss’, it is highway robery.
‘…gas companies are deliberately exporting enough gas to ensure the amount of gas available Australians remains tight in order to keep domestic prices high.’Ney it’s pillage and rape level skulduggery.
‘Then they use the threat of these engineered “shortages” to pressure Australian governments to approve new gas projects, but since these projects are almost entirely for export, they wreck the environment but do nothing to help lower the prices paid by Australian households and businesses.’#AusPol #PRRT #DomesticGasReserveNow #ExtractiveIndustries #StateTheft #EatTheRich #Antifa

I hate to belabour the point… well, actually, no I don’t. But to put some perspective into Senator #DavidPocock defeated motion to set up a Senate Committee to take a look at #GasExports, here is an interesting article from The Point (Australian Institute) that should have been tabled in the Senate along with the motion (can you do that in the Senate? I don’t know) talking about: ‘New analysis shows Japan is emerging as a major player in global gas trading, despite producing no liquefied natural gas of its own – and it’s all thanks to Australia.’

So, it seems that when a #StateGovt disagrees with a #Court decision, it can just enact new #Legislation to contermand the Courts. That’s straight out of the #Trumpian playbook. A #Fascist response to the #Jurisprudence when the outcomes are unpallatable to #Mates in the #MiningIndustries. Where is this #Americanisation of Australia to stop? What other means will the #Rich use to syphon more public funds and dues to support their #StateTheft ? -
@smitjo
Privatiation of Public assets and services is #StateTheft and #StateCapture historically proven to be disastrous for society in every documented case and beneficial only to the #Rich -

Ring the ALARM Bells…. #Privatisation of public transport infrastructure ensures a decline in services and early retirement of infrastructure assets due to cuts made in order to produce profit for investors. Private enterprise strip the assets bare and then put their greedy little hands out for govt #subsidies to get them out of presumed financial trouble (no one is looking at their deep pockets full of stolen $$ here). It has always been so, it will always be so… what’s so hard to understand here? It plain old #StateTheft. Your tax money going straight into private pockets.After, God I don’t know, one hundred years, govt still make the stupidest decisions and hand over public assets for ‘stripping’ by grifter mates…
Come on Aussies. Don’t vote those fuckers in again… Jezzzz…

I venture to say that the #SA #blackouts is yet another ‘in your face’ example of what happens when the State lets a ‘private company’ look after infrastructure that should, by any measure, remain in public hands.
I’ll also venture to say that such ‘sweet deals for mates’ as selling off infrastructure and services to private bidders only ever leads to deteriorating infrastructure and a constant downgrading of services.
Ergo, I have no hesitation to put forward a lack of maintenance on the electricity infrastructure under stewardship of the private company in question as the sole and only factor for the resulting blackouts.

Of course. The State stupidly caused a massive case of #StateTheft. No prizes for guessing how this is going to pan out.

Greg Jericho (in The Guardian) concludes with:
“Right now, the government is choosing to deliver $50bn a year to the richest 10% of Australians for no real, discernible public good that benefits the nation. Maybe that deserves a bit more attention than we give predictions of budget estimates which will soon be forgotten and likely be wrong.”
Come on #AlboPM what are you waiting for? Christmas?
I guess I have now confessed my deep regards for #GregJericho’s economic nous. Ah well, he deserves it. He is in the same basket as #AlanKohler in good company.

Such is the nature of the fossilised curmudgeons which make up their leadership and their minions. And yes, fossil fuel corporations and more broadly the extractive industries peak bodies. Corporate greed and disregard for anything else but their bottom line.
