Big things ramping up very soon and our patrons will have exclusive access to the start of it all.
It's amazing how compliant the average Australian customer is. Governments really found that out over the last few years.
apparently, having consumed the neo-liberal kool-aid, we are not entitled to fiscal or genuine industry policy… what we get is Friedman's 'markets', oligopolies, duopolies, cartels abound. All of which are scams. We aren't entitled to money laundering laws, an ASIC that does its' job, decent progressive taxation laws.. we are told by Kerry Stokes and Rupert Murdoch to fear this and _fear that_.
We do what we are told and as citizens, learn little and know less.
And totally predictable when the poles and wires got privatised?
Charity is a failure of government. Nobody should ever have to donate money for public causes. You pay taxes for a reason.
I'm so happy I made the best decisions by having a good investment, Recently I'm able to acquire my third house even as a single mom at 42 and I believe if things keep going well I would retire early.
😢😢 yess we have been selling fram for years 😢 but Australians want do or say anything. Just complain 😴 😌
All assisted by our corrupt and useless government which ignores its own people.
The Australian banking system is foreign owned and designed to extract as much profit as possible from this countries people and its resources. Nationalise the banking system NOW.
So, I’m guessing that the Foreign Investment Review Board has no power when it comes to corporate takeovers.
Kinda like foreign investment by stealth?
Firstly, in order to get any legislation through that impedes foreign takeovers, we need to outlaw corporate lobbyists in Canberra, and then increase the power of the FIRB.
We are already living in a corporatocracy. Something has to be done.
Verry well explained sir. goodonya sir
Just remember everybody privatisation, deregulation and the great sell off of Australian companies began under bob hawke and the state labor governments in the 80s. Don't worry I am not a lib supporter, That war criminal john howard must be the worst PM we have ever had.
I remember Australia, when it still existed
Business as usual, maybe because it's because of our apathy.
Sorry, can't do the distracting and annoying muzak while you're speaking. I don't hear a word you're saying when you speak with musical accompaniment. Unsubscribing.
Those graphs are excellent.
Just attend any city property auction and play spot the Aussie.
Send more to the Ukraine you wretched Goys!😉👍
Shorting of gold mining companies to drive down the share price and then pick them up cheap
No doubt about that and really good tax treatment for foreign companies. Why do our governments allow that at a cost to consumers
A free and open global market is the neoliberal way
What happens when we run out of things to sell to foreign investors ?
Are government charges disclosed as part of inflation calcs? Local government rates are going through the roof. It's getting a bit rich when Govt is saying that they care about cost of living when Govt is first in line when it comes to increasing fees and charges. It's the non-discretionary stuff…fees, charges, levies, rates what ever you want to call it when Govt wants to put their hand in your pocket. Insurance is another one. It's not responsible to do without but there is clearly little in the way of effective competition.
Listen to the messiah Michael Saylor and you will realise Bitcoin is our one and only saviour
Buy bitcoin, never sell it and preserve your purchasing power for generations.
Excellent content. There are real parallels with the UK re: gutting. While corporations go about their business globally, feeding on the human herd, we go about our daily lives like sheep. Meanwhile politicians who are corporate proxies in "democratic" countries present the facade of free will and choice to the electorate. We are sheep. Well, we might as well be. Having said that, individuals preoccupied with day to day hand to mouth living, against corporations with orders of magnitude more resources, hanker on to the proxies for help, while they are being sold down the river. Its a fait a complis as the French would say.
Was thinking today about all the things we have and love…the NDIS, medicare, aged care unis, schools, roads, hospitals, etc. With our small population, perhaps we cant have everything we want and need, but we could if everybody paid tax…you know who I mean. The corporates, oligarchs, millionaires, billionaires….etc. If that bunch of filth pulled their weight, ndis, aged care, social housing could all be easily funded, and it would stop the parasites attacking our working class super. Super is for retirement. Fuck off and leave it alone.
I dumped Coles and Woolworths months ago. Their meat is low grade, fruit, and veg are so old. I shop at Foodland, better meat and veg with similar prices but better quality.
In Victoria house prices have doubled in price in 3 years. Rent increases are not much better. The state is broke, and in debt. It
Survives on house stamp duty to keep going. Victoria is a crap hole. A real paradise.
Houses and units that are absolute dumps are selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Imagine working your arse off to buy or
Rent a piece of crap to get by. Better off going to Africa and living in a hut.
If it was not for Australia’s mineral wealth, the country would and should be a third world country.
Can't use our train lines in the wheat belt because a Canadian company owns the lines and refuses to service them making the useless after a decade something about a 99 year lease
Is it a prelude to pump and dump pump and dump
I buy no groceries unless they are reduced in price, I also shop across all 5 supermarkets in our regional town I also check out the local butchers and Fruit & veg.
