- Comment on Why the cost of living crisis will not get better 3 weeks ago:
Wages have dropped to one third in value in the past 50 years.
It’s wages.
If this happened quickly we would say it’s a crisis but because it’s been slow it’s been easy for employers to blame inflation for losses in living standards.
Join a union.
Meanwhile, Trump/maga are engineering a world economic crash. I suggest people cut costs, even if that means living with extended family, and save.
- Comment on Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge 3 weeks ago:

This is just another example of Russian aggression against the democratic west
- Comment on Many primary school kids will never have a male teacher, and experts say that's a problem 4 weeks ago:
Quotas sounds not right. If there were quotas wouldn’t there be equal representation?
It was a long time ago ( the 60s-70s) but I recall having 3 male teachers in primary school.

- Comment on ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview 3 months ago:
Listen to the words he actually said
He said ‘for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea’.
That is a call for Islamic Imperialism, for the end of Israel and the killing of all Israelis including the 20% of Israelis who are Muslim.

- Comment on Anglicare’s Rental Affordability Snapshot 2025 | Anglicare 4 months ago:
shameful
so much blame on negative gearing for high prices and cost of housing
but I think we need to take a very close look at the real estate industry, how they inflate house prices and how they gouge both landlords and tenants with fees based on rental price.
- Comment on Housing, we all know 4 months ago:
UNIONS
- Comment on Housing, we all know 4 months ago:
I suggest we also remember that prices are only half the story, wages have stayed flat for 50 years. Our wages have 1/3 the buying power of 50 years ago.
Join a union

- Comment on From $30 parmigianas to $15 pints, can Australia still afford the pub? 4 months ago:
Wages.
We could easily afford beers and parmas if we had the same wage levels as we had 50 years ago
Australians earn **one third **the real buying power of the 1970s.
We earn ONE THIRD of what we used to
**employers took the difference in value **and stores kept increasing prices
the problem is the wages
**join a union **

Why?
- Comment on Six Australian universities close Chinese government-linked Confucius Institutes 5 months ago:
the thing is CI is more strident in misusing influence in the big more prestigious unis and in history and politics subjects, they try hard to influence the dialogue and narrative
at the smaller unis it’s just using soft power on the locals and keeping tabs on Chinese nationals
- Comment on Six Australian universities close Chinese government-linked Confucius Institutes 5 months ago:
yup
in my classes ( art and language ) the political influence was subtle but present
the cultural superiority was overt and hard to bear ( from other students )
and there was no way I would use zoom
but I found the teachers expert, helpful and kind
in other classes the influence was much stronger

- Comment on trump puts 25% tariffs on Aussie steel and aluminium 7 months ago:
there were stock market movements based on what Trump said
people who have insider knowledge would be able to make a lot of money on that
- Comment on trump puts 25% tariffs on Aussie steel and aluminium 7 months ago:
I suspect these announcements by Trump are nothing but stock market scams with a whole bunch of insider trading going on.
Trump removed tariffs from Mexico and Canada after a few days. We’ll see what happens with this
- Comment on No one feels safe in Zionist Australia 7 months ago:
The numbers never get reported accurately and it doesn’t help that Hamas lies.
Hamas reports all natural deaths as caused by Israel. That’s at least 10,000 natural deaths that Hamas lied about. .
Hamas aid 500,000 would die of famine by February 2024. They didn’t.
Hamas lies didn’t help the Gazan people.
Now Donald Trump is involved and wants real genocide. Trump stopped all USAID to Gaza. Biden sent 300 million.
Luckily Saudi Arabia told him to go fuck himself.

I’ve never heard anyone yell “Kill Them” at costco sales in reference to Jews.
