What if the Australian Government took over the shares of every company on the Australian stock market?

Australians would become shareholders in every company.

These companies would have to act in the public's interest & the private sector would be democratised.

Thoughts?
Any other ideas or thoughts on how we get our major companies acting in our interests and the interests of the greater good?
Just over $2 trillion & the Australian Public could own the ASX.

Keeping in mind that forecasts of almost 1 trillion in "debt", surely we have the capacity for another $2 trillion?

Is this possible @StevenHailAus?

What's the impact on inflation if we spent $2T? Image
I want to add:

It's only about buying the Publicly listed companies. Those that trade on the Australian stock market.

Not the small & medium size businesses like trades, cafes & bars etc. Or the small manufactures, grocery stores & family owned businesses.

Just the big ones.
More thoughts:

It would eliminate the desire for large companies to lobby government.

It would also remove the power of the lobby groups so it would change the "makeup" of our parliament.

So there would be fewer liars in parliament.
More thoughts.

We need to start calling "Regulations" what they really are which is "Protections".

And it's never good to see a government weaken it's citizens "Protections".

Hi everyone I'm Andrew Forrest & I'm here to save the day

I hear people are getting cranky about inaction on #ClimateCrisis so I did a #BoyerLecture making whacky claims like hydrogen cars being part of the future

I might be rich but I'm an "Aussie Battler" just like you!

"While net profit after tax continues to elude @Tesla it has a market value of over $800B it's major climate innovation is only a battery that runs on whatever fuel is in the national grid instead of a fuel tank. I think the real climate challenger could be Fortescue"

I haven't developed any technology myself but I take a swipe at @elonmusk who's company has revolutionised the following:

✅ Batteries
✅ Electric Motors
✅ Autonomous driving software
✅ AI chipset 21x faster
✅ Automotive manufacturing
✅ Charging Network < 20k stations

At 1.11 pm on 18.11.20 Murdoch's @couriermail editor @DamTom79 sent a tweet suggesting that I was a professional tweeter (paid by someone) and that I had

"deployed a bot swarm to defend @MrKRudd"

Both of these claims are false and have damaged my reputation & character.

I've recently called many Australian politicians "climate deniers"

This sparked Mark Spencer from @climacticshow to launch pilot podcast "Degrees of Difference"

Community climate organiser Asher Coleman & I had a great discussion about how we approach climate activism in Aus.
We discuss growing up in regional Australia as well as the political & media failures to tell the truth about the climate crisis.

We also discuss what the definition of "climate denier" really is.
