@CrimethInc There were over 200,000 on the streets in #Sydney in March 2003, and many hundreds of thousands more in other major cities and towns around the continent. It remains the single largest day of coordinated protest in Australian history.

Achieved diddy-squat in diverting the course of Australia's home-grown war criminal PM #JohnHoward, who unquestioningly threw in his lot with #GeorgeWBush and #TonyBlair.

In any case, considering 1-5, and thinking of the Australian context specifically, I cannot think of a single individual more responsible for shifting Australians away from Christianity than the late Cardinal #GeorgePell, whose funeral was held today on #Gadigal land at St Mary’s Cathedral, attended by #JohnHoward, #TonyAbbott and #PeterDutton, amongst others.

I hope Christian people of faith consider this when reflecting upon Pell’s life. Those who love the church and want to see it thrive ought to be very wary of celebrating his work and embracing his legacy.

Indeed, step one needs to start with stopping the #coups and #regimeChange operations that set countries back decades, and prevent them having more #equitable, and socially and environmentally progressive policies.

Almost all #immigrationAbuse is based on #pushFactors, instigated by US policy. Look back no further than #post911 abuse by #BushCrimeFamily, #TonyBlair and their underling #JohnHoward, but many examples exist.

Scott Morrison started his concession speech tonight by noticing an ex-PM warCriminal, who worked with the #BushCrimeFamily to severely impair #Australia.

We switched off the speech immediately and turned the music up.

This is, after all, a party.

No warCriminals allowed.

When an #Australian PM does something like this its usually a #smokescreen for #openBorders.

In 2005 our then PM, and warCriminal enabler, #JohnHoward allowed refugees to reportedly drown to look tough on #borders while he was actually tripling #immigration.

He admitted this cynical (and murderous) appeal to voters in 2014 on #RadioNational.

How in the world can we allow the #corporateMedia to even depict #JohnHoward in any kind of positive light.

We live on a desert island lacking large hills and mountains that could store water etc. and yet, he bribed people to procreate. It was called a #BabyBonus, he also abused refugees (cynically, admitted 2014 on #RadioNational) and increased #immigration to such extreme levels that it had the effect of draining our #productiveCapacity (see #holesAndHouses).

He'd be bet on an #imprisonList.

Just forget that the #USAustralia relationship has been an #abusiveRelationship, built on lies (see the past 20 years), #coups (see #KevinRudd) and #environmentalVandalism.

Oh, and the #opium, let's not forget that all-important #opiumTrade.

The rejection of the thuggish autocrat and abusive PM #JohnHoward, could be felt in your core. Howard would divert attention from important things by pointing at #refugees on #boats, and #bribing people to #procreate. An awful man. We elected #KevinRudd who was visibly preparing to turn things around.

Amidst a #GFC, Kevin was great on #environment, reducing our electricity use by 30% by starting an #insulationScheme. (5/9)

@rose_myrtle
The problems re planning have been decades in the making, under the imprisonable 1996-2007 PM they really accelerated.

Most people who watched closely, attribute #Sydney's 2000 #Olympics, the #warCrimes and #immigration and #refugeeAbuse of that PM, to #Australia's gentrification and #overdevelopment abuses - the effects of which are felt today.

We forgot to add that land has historically been a very accurate measure of wealth. Even amid COVID days you'll see that the landholder is somewhat protected in some ways.

Yes, in Australia we had a minor party called the Democrats, they fought against #JohnHoward to secure protection against GST on #freshFood and essentials.

Unfortunately people turned against the Democrats for even engaging with Howard. He was awful.

Sad.

It was a good initiative by the little Dems.

Four of many reasons why #KevinRudd was a great #Australian PM:

♡ #InsulationScheme: The #corporateMedia loved to hate the #pinkBatsScheme due to a few bad actors, but it was a massive success and reduced our #electricityConsumption by 30%. The #USA still cry out for one.

♡ #LowerImmigration: Despite publicly supporting a #BigAustralia, #Rudd presided over a big decline in #immigration (boosted stealthily by #JohnHoward).

♡ #MoneyToPeople during the #GFC - not #banks.

♡ #MiningTax: He tried.
