Send Barnaby to Indonesia
It is a pity that Barnaby Joyce, a man of tact, diplomacy, nuance and subtlety, isn’t going to Indonesia to fix things up. I know I am disappointed that Barnaby is missing out on this great opportunity, and I am sure the Indonesians feel the same way. [Sarcasm alert.] (0)

May Day

Friday is May Day, the day of international working class solidarity and the commemoration of  workers’ struggles, in particular the often bloody fight for an 8 hour day. In Australia the union eunuchs and Labor lapdogs ‘cancelled’ the Day long ago. When class struggle revives and society moves to the Left, May Day will revive here. But the spirit of […]

What’s behind killer swine flu?

Concentrated poverty is one of the most important issues in what happens to a flu outbreak – how it is spread and who it hits.

Jackboot junkies and bikie gangs

The ABCC; the ‘bikie gang’ laws; anti-terrorism laws; the loss of habeas corpus – the ruling class jackboots are stirring.

Let us remember our fallen at work

Tuesday is the International Day of Mourning for workers killed on the job.  Last year 440 workers in Australia died at work and many more were injured.  One building worker a week loses their life on the job. I pay my respects to all those who have died or been seriously injured at or from […]

$90 now!

Let’s push for a $90 a week pay increase for workers and pensioners. If it is good enough for politicians it is good enough for those they serve.

Bankers – taking the piss

There’s a wonderful photo in today’s Australian showing urinals in Reykjavik , Iceland’s capital, decorated with images of former bankers.

Real tax reform: a love letter to Ken Henry

We should look at taxation through the eyes of the working class. Tax labour lightly and capital heavily.
