"Coles staff to wear body cameras in supermarkets to combat theft and violence"

How about ? The biggest drive of all this is poverty. Abolish and other punitive suspensions of payments.

Psst... you're outside the wrong Parliament!

This is nationwide, the most important element of the fix is to fix poverty.

Nothing about this is a surprise to a long-term unemployed person. Like me. This is the system. By maintaining a pool of desperation, employers, corporations, and businesses are able to drive workers to accept lower wages. There are, of course, some protections against driving wages beyond liveability, but as we've seen, those protections are eroded over time or worked around by stimagtising unemployment and eroding social safety nets.

Worth remembering that 2016 Twitter was significant in the social highlighting of , which lead to today's Royal Commission Report.

We're still to see if the sealed chapter will lead to real prosecutions and convictions! Until then, it's political panto* on Labor's part.

An Inquiry into the multi-billion dollar employment services system has been running since August last year. Curiously, not a single media outlet in the country is currently covering it.

But i am! Here's a master-thread of the Inquiry's greatest hits

Yesterday, probably because I had spare words in me due to the demise of Twitter, I wrote a blog post about hating Labor and their surplus. Read it maybe?

Me, a poor person: I can't afford tomatoes because of the combined cost-of-living crisis fuelled by profiteering, and refusal for Anthony Albanese to above the poverty line.

Labor supporters: It's all Putin's fault

Me, a poor person: *starves*

Labor supporters: Look at what Putin is doing!

Promises haven't been delivered at ALL. Labor made promises before the election campaign that they've walked back. Who cares if it's during an election, if you say it as a politician, it's a fucking promise.

So why tax cuts for the wealthy?
And excessive defence spending?
Fossil fuel subsidies?
We voted to fix this. Not waste more on the rich.

and are treated like complex ‘wicked’ problems by decision-makers, but at their core, they’re remarkably simple.

“Resources are unevenly distributed and economic inequality is fundamental to the system our society is built around. As radical as it may seem to think about meaningfully addressing this, it also feels unfathomable that we should allow people to sleep in bushes, sit in the rain, and shuttle from shopping centre to park bench, living just to survive, while others flourish.”

Can we riot now?

is having a very bad day.

On of all days, (the irony isn’t lost) seems committed to leaving millions of people on benefits living in poverty. Including me.
