Kent Parkstreet@kentparkskeet.bsky.social · 3mo agoUnemployed Australians are Australians. There’s no reason for their government to bully them, other than perpetuating the bludger myth. Unemployment is a feature of our economic system, essential, not an accidental by-product. Our government should acknowledge this and offer dignity and respect.

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension. Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects. In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.
This is horrific. People spend their lives creating such monstrous machines, and here they’ve been used on a trapped, defenceless civilian population. This is why people don’t want Herzog in Australia. #auspol www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

On the road the other day I got a cup of tea at Maccas. $4.55 for terrible tea, but to add extra insult, a splash of soy milk is 80c extra. I’m sure it used to be 50c. The cost of tea includes the price of regular milk, how can soy milk be 80c more?! Rip off. #australia #tea
