If the federal minimum wage had increased as much as Wall Street bonuses over the past four decades, it would be worth $42.37 today instead of a measly $7.25. Let that sink in.
Personally I think whatever Elon is doing is great.
I haven't even been on Twitter lately and I have a whole list of conspicuously hot & scantily clad new followers.
Hi new followers! *wink wink*

The OECD's research just showed corporate profits contributed far more to inflation than wages.
It's what @TheAusInstitute has been saying all year, in research that big business and their mates called 'flawed' & 'silly'.
Philip Lowe continues to bark up the wrong tree 🙃

.@PwC_AU and the other big three have their tentacles spread throughout all our Govt agencies. But unlike the agencies whose focus is public good, the consultancies focus is profit. It’s an underlying conflict-of-motive that has only one solution. #auspol thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…

Whilst I suspect the knock back of a reported @ScottMorrisonMP job pitch to PwC was due to the bright spotlight on the company right now, ethically, no company who directly benefitted from decisions he made as PM or as a minister should employ him. #auspol theaustralian.com.au/busines…

The Minister of State for Finance, Pankaj Chaudhary, told the Lok Sabha on 19th July 2021 that SEBI was investigating the Adani Group.
Now SEBI tells the Supreme Court that they have not been investigating any of the serious allegations against Adani!
Which is worse—misleading Parliament, or being fast asleep as lakhs of investors are duped by alleged money-laundering and round-tripping using offshore shell companies?
Or even worse, was there a restraining hand from above?

...announce scaling-back or cancelling the Stage 3 Tax Cuts to fix NDIS and Medicare, I may just lead a marching band of pots and pans down Oxford Street to Town Hall and back and buy the first round of drinks for my new percussionist friends. abc.net.au/news/2023-04-28/s…

3/ Don’t accept their lie that we can’t afford to raise the rate for everyone. They’re spending $368billion on nuclear submarines and $254billion on tax cuts for the rich.
Poverty is a political choice and they’re the ones pulling the strings.

#STATEMENT:
"The government’s supposed plan to #RaiseTheRate of JobSeeker exclusively for those over 55 is bafflingly cruel, discriminatory, and stupid.
Welfare recipients of all ages and backgrounds stand together to demand a raise for all."

Trans women in women's sport is just such a sad affair all around. I see toxic transphobia, disenfranchised women, sporting integrity undermined, misinformation & polarisation...

Damn, they really got me.
Don’t forget, one reason people are finally starting to realise that this is possible, fair, reasonable is because we literally did it 3 years ago – overnight.

Your friendly reminder that this ‘date’ so many are intent on holding on to, wasn’t a national public holiday until 1994.
Indigenous people have been suffering since 1788.
Change the date
Don't fact check this one just appreciate the point

Honest question — isn’t there a fairer way to “cool” the economy than raising interest rates, further limiting household budgets for some of the most financially vulnerable?
