Kinda crazy that 60% of people that die are on poverty level Centrelink support and our RBA mandates that 5% of Aussies be unemployed at any one moment.
We have a system that intentionally kills our fellow Australians.
Yes, 20% of suicide deaths are people on JobSeeker. Yes, 60% of working age adults who die are on a Centrelink payment.
So what did Tanya Plibersek do in Anti-Poverty Week? Give $5 million to charities.
Full statement below.
ALT Anti-Poverty week shouldn't be about presenting welfare recipients as pitiful objects. It should be a time for politicians to be scrutinised for choices that kill people through poverty, residualised public housing & violating unemployed people's agency by forcing them into compulsory activities. The main unemployment payment is $412 a week - 40% below the poverty line. 1 million people are on unemployment payments, around 40% are disabled. 20% of people on JobSeeker is employed, with an effective marginal tax rate of 75% for every dollar of income above $128 a week. Welfare recipients aren't falling behind, we're held back. 167,000 people on income support between 22 to 64 years old died between 2012 & 2022 - 58.2% of all deaths for this age group. Those on JobSeeker aged 35 to 44 are 9.6 times more likely to die than their peers. Meanwhile, the RBA continues to pursue policies intended to increase the number of unemployed people with no care for how those people will survive.

"When a man has nothing left to be proud of, he takes pride in his ethnicity."

This quote is misattributed to Arthur Schopenhauer. His Parerga and Paralipomena contains a similar passage criticizing national pride, but with different wording.

posturing ourselves as a chilled-out friendly society while we’ve never fully reckoned with the weight of bigotry and bloodshed that’s formed the country as we know it.
Australian govt should be pushing for equal to US access for the Aussie data and compute space. If we’re 5 eyes why not?

If you think about it, Campbell Graham is the LeBron James of Jed Stuart’s.
BREAKING: Souths have held a meeting with Sam Walker.
Souths officials have come from the meeting convinced Walker wants to join for the right reasons.
There is a catch with Souths having to let one of Campbell Graham, Latrell Mitchell or Jack Wighton depart immediately.

A good case study into how wealthy Americans think about morality.
“What do you mean X is bad, he has Y amount of money???’
Doesn’t take a genius to see how the Epstein class justify their crimes to themselves.

Jess Wilson calls Jewish & ancestral ties to their land of Israel profound, sacred & never to be dismissed.
Yet she’s vowed to immediately repeal Victoria’s First People’s Treaty despite 60,000+ years of connection to their own country. This country.
What a kick in the guts.

i do think it's a little concerning that despite the sheer population of indonesia, australian's don't really know that their right wing state venerates a mass murdering, CIA backed monster

I have never been more sure that the “DSA is anti-black” is a CIA psyop.
“I think the DSA, my words, not yours, they like to gaslight Jews and segregate Blacks.”
Palantir CEO Alex Karp gave his opinion on the DSA to our @adamwren in a wide-ranging interview.

How selective these human rights “violations” are for Penny

He lied about seeing pictures of beheaded babies. And kept repeating it even when it was proven that it was all lies
You stand with Trump, the guy who bombed the girls school on the first day.
Guess their human rights don’t matter, just like the Gazans who hardly even get a ‘deeply concerned’ empty gesture from Wong these days.
Australia strongly opposes and voted against Iran’s appointment to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination.
Iran’s human rights violations and destabilising conduct undermine multilateralism. Australia stands with the people of Iran.

BREAKING: And the sky is blue.
Who is surprised by this? Labor has accepted MILLIONS in donations from fossil fuel corps while opening 38 new coal and gas projects while in office.
Labor can’t ever be trusted on climate. The Greens will replace them.

Gaza is a the modern nazi human experimentation for giant tech fascists and arms dealers where advanced military occupation, border control, and surveillance techniques are tested and exported. Gaza is the peak of western’s civilization in the most dystopian sense.

Mamdani has posted the word Gaza twice since being elected, and neither was about Palestinian suffering. One was the tree planting, the other about New Yorkers on the flotilla. In 2025, he posted 19 times about Gaza. In 2024, 36 times. They use Palestine then abandon it

Israel must immediately open all Gaza crossings and let humanitarian aid in, starting with new tents and modular housing, clean water, nutrient-rich food, medicines. If by 9am tomorrow Israel still refuses, any principled leader would send humanitarian vessels to break the siege.

"The atrocity at Bondi—that resulted in the murders of 15 people—was not the largest racist massacre in Australian history. The last officially sanctioned massacre was the Coniston massacre in the NT in 1928 when up to 200 Aboriginal people were murdered."
