Albanese, we have a plan, no we don't, yes we do, lets have a crisis meeting.

We once had some talent in government, but we chose to replace that with corruption and incompetence.

#Australia abstained, of course

Today the United Nations voted 123 to 3 on Resolution A/80/L.48, the Declaration of the Trafficking of Enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement, formally labeling the transatlantic slave trade as one of the gravest crimes against humanity in history.

The resolution emphasised “the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialised chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity by reason of the definitive break in world history, scale, duration, systemic nature, brutality and enduring consequences that continue to structure the lives of all people through racialized regimes of labour, property and capital.”

It affirmed the importance of addressing historical wrongs affecting Africans and people of the diaspora in a manner that promotes justice, human rights, dignity and healing, while emphasising that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedy.   

123 countries said yes. 3 said no. (USA, Israel, Argentina) and 52 abstained

Is there a #Pookah named #Iran?

#Trump ain’t no Jimmy Stewart.

It sounds like #GregJericho is about to throw in the towel and give up any hope that the #RBA will mend its ways and hence forecasts a #Recession… eventually.

“At least the impact is not as large as it was in 2022 and 2023 when profits soared after Russia invaded Ukraine, causing oil, gas and fertiliser prices to spike.

Good thing nothing like that has happened recently … oh wait, I am being handed a note.

And so, we wait to see the damage in the March figures and know that, regardless of the cause of inflation, the RBA is likely to blame workers – and they will hold to that view even if it means a recession.”
