One Nation Shepparton candidate Phillip Bryant in hot water over shocking misogynistic slurs from his time as netball coach where he said women were too hard to coach & compared it to “herding chickens”🙄 Warwick Long says all eyes are now on if Bryant fronts tonight’s debate.🔥
The midterm election results offers the Australian government an opportunity to transform its relationship with the United States, says @emmashortis.bsky.social. But will the government take it? #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4j4d5Hk
Regardless of the Victorian State Election result we wanted to start on a positive note of community first. So the ASRC is hosting its Festive Food Drive for refugees the morning after the state election, in Footscray to bring out the very best of us. + a free BBQ/face painting for kids/live music.

Pretending there is no other way to deal with inflation other than raising interest rates, while also ignoring corporate profits - especially those of the banks - is just admitting you think it’s ok that some people are collateral damage for the ‘economy’
This week, voters repudiated Trump's corruption, chaos, and cruelty. But they also sent a powerful message to Democrats: unrig our economy, hold the powerful accountable, and make this country work for working people. The real work is about to begin.
The benefits of using monetary policy (raising interest rates) as a main economic weapon is twofold: 1: It is simple; 2: it hurts the less well-off and leaves the wealthy (ie: 'donors') largely untouched. No wonder it appeals to our right wing @albomp.bsky.social govt www.abc.net.au/news/2026-11...
Are there any (good) alternatives to interest rate hikes to cool inflation?
Mortgage holders reeling from the blunt force of five interest rate hikes this year are questioning if there are other ways of controlling inflation. The answer is not simple.

redbridgeintel.substack.com/p/reality-th... Bernie Fraser, a former governor of the bank, warned in October that these rises “won’t do much to solve the inflation problem”, which is “not home-based, for the most part”, and that “they are causing a lot of pain and agony for working people”.
