The banking licence system is a cartel. The government gives the big banks a multi-billion dollar bailout fund and the sovereign bond guarantee. "Nobody's just allowed into that club." #auspol #banking

Banks dominate Australia's Treasury note auctions, shutting out ordinary investors as govt debt heads above $971 billion. #auspol #banking #debt Photo: Diliff, CC BY 2.5 via Wikimedia Commons

Hi Correna @CHaythorpeAEU why are teachers unions not pushing back against the apparently apartheid school curriculum plan being implemented at the demand of a foreign lobby group? No response to these questions by your Media Team

The banks are sacking thousands. Time to get govt debt down & give Australians higher bank returns. End the cosy T-note club. No brainer for @JEChalmers #auspol youtu.be/zxkG5nOSmls?si=Lg9l…

This is Robodebt all over again - right now people are in pain & their quality of life severely impacted by unaccountable assessment by algorithm. Others have died or will die sooner than if they received human consideration . Can this Labor gov get any worse?

One day, we will look back at this time in Australia's history where the entire nation went to a vote and denied Indigenous people a direct voice to parliament while directly after that, the government of the day walked away and gave that voice to Israel - without a single Australian vote being cast or a person being asked. One day we will wonder how we allowed Australia to be captured and ruled by a foreign nation, for our thoughts to be policed and our rights to artistic expression and freedom of speech curtailed by an unelected, South African born, multi-millionaire white woman from eastern Sydney who answers to lsrael. One day we'll have to tell our children and grandchildren that this woman thought that protesting against a war where children are bombed and burnt alive in their beds is an evil thing to do, but marching with a Nazi protest sign is nothing worth worrying about. One day we will have to explain this upside-down madness, this state-captured think speak we all allowed to happen and wonder why we didn't do more. One day, everyone will have always been against this. #SackSegal .

Before people dismiss this inquiry note that three retired RAN Admirals testified to it (Barrie, Briggs and Moffat). They each know a lot more about submarines than anyone in the Albanese (or Morrison) government.
