Stuart was very careful with his response to the ‘did he say we will double down’. He said he “didn’t recall” & said that would have been inconsistent blah blah. But he didn’t deny it. Perhaps he was afraid the Sec had a witness or recorded the comment. #RobodebtRC #auspol https://twitter.com/abc730/status/1631213924145143808

Senator Lidia Thorpe quits Greens party to pursue black sovereignty
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/feb/06/senator-lidia-thorpe-to-quit-australian-greens-party-independent-black-sovereignty-indigenous-voice-to-parliament

I think this move is a good thing for Senator Lidia Thorpe and for the Greens.
She'll be more free to speak her mind about Indigenous issues, and the party won't be walking into yet another "Perfect is the enemy of good" scenario.

In my opinion, the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament is an excellent idea, and will help to raise discussion and awareness of Indigenous issues and rights. We don't know all the details yet, and it may not be perfect at first, but I think it's a great step in the right direction.

By the end of today the average UK #corporate (FTSE 100) CEO will have earned more than the average #workers wages for 2023.

His (and mainly is his) colleagues below CEO level, but still directors will have to wait until 11th January to pass that milestone.

And median FTSE100 CEO salary is up by 39% year-on-year in 2022.

Puts calls for wage restraint into context & reveals them for the class war strategy such 'reasonableness' really is!
