- Comment on Housing, we all know 7 hours 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? 1 week 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 **

- Comment on Six Australian universities close Chinese government-linked Confucius Institutes 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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

there were stock market movements based on what Trump said

- Comment on No one feels safe in Zionist Australia 2 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.
