Exploited by who, the two realistic choices of government, one of which is currently in power and "exploiting" us? And should only be responsible for providing a fair playing field (it's not fair under Albo's COL crisis). Life is exploitation, no one gives a shit about you at the end of the day and a stranger who doesn't care about you or your family is not an exploiter, they just don't care. You have to give a shit about you. I believe in you Bandwagon!

The only thing worse than getting exploited by capitalism is not getting exploited by capitalism. It's the same with democracy. Imagine if, instead of one political party that needed your vote, none of them did.

As Albo's cost of living, housing availability/affordability crisis rages and the poor spiral their way closer to our tent cities popping up in capital cities like in San Fran, we are splashing cash overseas like drunken sailors. At least it is rugby league related? Although I'm sure the good PNG players could have come over here and played for a new Australian team. Madness.

How can Albo justify this staggering overseas splurge?

Timing is almost everything in politics, and right now our economy is on the brink, growth rates are anaemic and interest rates may be about to rise.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

"The cost of living crisis engulfing Australians is made worse by stubbornly high housing prices, a shortage of housing stocks and a per capita recession.

Yet in the middle of all of that federal cabinet is set to sign off on Albo’s decision to send hundreds of millions of dollars off shore to help a near neighbour establish a new rugby league team. "

"And what about the values Labor claims to hold dear? Is the money evenly split according to gender, or is it only going into the men's game?

Perhaps more importantly, why won't the government find money like this to support women's sports at home, such as netball - the most popular sport played right across the country."

"When welfare advocates asked Treasurer Jim Chalmers why his recent budget didn’t include an increase to the Newstart allowance, he said that government’s need to make decisions about where a finite amount of taxpayers dollars can be spent."

Great piece from PVO.

Homelessness service says tent cities growing in Melbourne's north - ABC listen

More than 30,000 Victorians are homeless, an increase of 17 per cent over the past five years.

Albo's Tent Cities, coming to a suburb near you soon. The people near them generally say the same thing unsurprisingly: They are unprecedented.

PVO used to do a show with Kristina Keneally, someone who lost one of the safest seats ever and was going to be parachuted into cabinet. He has bad judgment to do a show with her, but the article is on point

It's yet another dumb article based upon a dumb premise, another dog whistle for morons who lap this kind of shit up.

It ignores Australia's foreign aid is falling, not rising, and it ignores the fact that the great majority of foreign aid is not about gifts, regardless of the smiling faces of the leaders who announce it, it's about creating returns both monetary and strategic.

And last but not least, it's not a case of either or, governments chose how much they spend, and where they spend it.
