ALP: "Times are hard and we need more money" People: "Tax the Billionaires! Stop wasting money on AUKUS! Tax gas exports! Stop subsidising oil companies! Get rid of tax breaks for rich property investors!, cut Superannuation breaks for multi-millionaires!" ALP: "We hear you, and we are going to cut services for disabilities" #auspol #NDIS

@Ex_spurt @sister_ratched I assume this is an example of the Australian values people keep going on about?

@Ex_spurt Where’s the Australian equivalent of @ZackPolanski ? Progressive politics is sorely lacking down under #auspol

@Ex_spurt I am so pissed off right now. I wish they would all be catapaulted onto a barbed wire fence and be hanging by their privates. Grrr.

@Ex_spurt No idea who or what ALP or AUKUS are, but it's still the same in Germany.

@Ex_spurt Same here in Germany. Our government is preparing cuts in sevices for children, and especially disabled children: "A working paper, which has so far been internal, contains proposals for substantial cuts particularly in child and youth welfare and integration support. If these cuts were implemented, children, young people and people with disabilities would be severely affected." https://www.der-paritaetische.de/alle-meldungen/massive-kuerzungsvorschlaege-bei-kindern-jugendlichen-und-menschen-mit-behinderung/ But that’s hardly surprising with a former #BlackRock guy acting as Chancellor.
