#StateCapture by any other name. #RioTinto is not a a failing company afaik. Aluminium prices are high so where are the #Pofits going? Not only does the smelter get a cheaper deal on its electricity needs (prob pay less per KWh than households I’d wager) but there is a $200M funding arrangmeents (from the public purse) over the next few years. Where are the *Public Shares* that go with this funding/ *purchase* ?

This #Grifting by corporations and companies trading on the threat of #JobLosses to *blackmail* govts into disbusing *subsidies* (I thought Australia didn’t do *Protectionism* anymore) is a #PrivateEnterprise failure, not a public one. Subsidies for shares and board membership is fine if due dilligence is done. Public administration to rescue strategic enterprises is als fine. But this… and other *deals* like it elsewhere is simply #Thieving wealth from all of us. We pay to labour with taxes, we pay to consume, we pay the #Rentiers in subsidies and bailouts, we pay the rich for being rich, we pay with our bodies and we pay with our health, pay, pay, pay… **This has got to end** .

Australian govt(s) have for some 80 years toed the #EconomicRationalism #NeoLiberal line, and for what? #CostOfLivingCrisis #WealthInequity #StateCapture #FailingServices #HigherUnemployment #CapitalFlightOverseas #ForeignGoodsDependencies , I could go on and on to describe our recent calamitous economic fails while facing #Environmental and #Ecological collapse, but you know where this is going already.

Vote the **Bastards Out** and vote **Greens** in 2028 people. Anything else is *more of the same* (or Dolly help us, a #Fascist #Police State build on #Slavery) and we know that system no longer works for as us.
