This govt reticence to apply a #GasExportTax or a #SuperProfitTax is not only despicable and a slap in the face of every #Australian, it’s also making a strong case for a call to #EndPoliticalDonations

We cannot have our Parliamentary Representative in the pocket of #ExtractiveIndustries or any #Corporation or #PrivateEnterprises or indeed championing an economic system that has, and is still proving it doesn’t work for the better interests of society as a whole.

Time for a for a #progressiveREvolution at the #VotingBooths people. Use your vote, use your brain put all Australians before your self interests and we might get out OK on the other side.

#AlboPM, you’re a traitor to the people who put you there in good faith.

It was a stupid idea anyway, they just have to spend whatever is necessary wherever it is necessary whenever it is necessary instead of playing crazy neoliberal games with funds.
