fear of editors is no excuse. The opinions of wealthy media operatives and their boomer audiences are not of greater value or legitimacy than the material hardship of people on centrelink payments. Many of whom are also workers so the ideologics are also rubbish, COMRADES.
there is literally a real life social experiment in the covid supplement and its data and analysis are widely available. Not raising the rate CREATES and exacerbates mental and other health conditions. Raising the rate will cut demand for relevant services OVERNIGHT.
anyway fuck the constant public dEBaTe and eC0N0MiC arguments. People matter more than nuclear submarines. Landlords and franking boomers don’t need handouts. None of this is contestable. Raise the fucking rate. RAISE THE RATE. #RaiseTheRate.
and fuck your dignity arguments. I have done far more unpaid work raising three kids as a single mum. Way more. Not even close. THAT work is work and has no dignity under #ParentsNext and punitive poverty policy.
in neoliberalese: take the RBA W and spend some political capital on needs-based policy.
