    Imagine, there are people with billions of dollars - essentially an infinite money supply - and they’re NOT using it to end homelessness, or improve conditions for the poorest.

    People will die on our streets this winter, while some Australian have 10 digit bank accounts.

    We need a real socialist party. And a way to educate the masses about what socialism actually is so they’re not terrified of it.

      It probably isn’t actually $7k from those 3.7 million people. It’s more like $1k from every Australian. They haven’t only taken from the poorest among us.

        Yes, but i like to imagine that the people are one group, so stealing from one working class person is a problem for everyone.

      Vote Labor, they’re changing the capital gains tax discount. You can’t deny that their actions align with the phrase “tax wealth, not work”.

      Also the Greens are NEVER going to win a federal election.

        Preferential voting means you can vote greens to show you want a less centrist party, and put Labor 2nd. For when the greens don’t win.

        This right here. Vote Labor. The Worker’s Party. They’re making such good change (no they’re not perfect).

          No party beholden to voters can be perfect. The Greens aren’t beholden to voters (and aren’t perfect anyway).

    the system is deeply entrenched

    we need ways to live while we also fight for economic justice

    join a union

    share housing costs

    have strong family and friendship and community ties
