    A pity, they often act as community hubs. I imagine people generally drinking less alcohol is a factor.

    @timrichards cheap rooms, decent meals, light entertainment, and tables for any kind of gathering. You could see it knocking over a small town.

    How depressing. To think Labor once saw itself as the party helping those doing it tough. Unemployment benefits desperately need a big boost, for a start - how about that instead of a surplus?

    "Chalmers and Albanese want to reclaim the mantle of Labor being better economic managers – so the focus right now is on handing down that second consecutive surplus. The underlying message is clear: trust us, we are sensible and boring."

    @timrichards the worst PM in Australian history was more prone to cash splashes than Albo. I expected a lot more from the ALP.

    Occasional remainder: individual action vs collective action is a false dichotomy!

    What we need to be doing is helping our neighbours live lighter upon this earth of ours, relying less on the capitalist infrastructure. That's how we get change! Not by relying on politicians!

    For instance: Have you checked if there's a Repair Cafe local to you? Which you can volunteer for?

    The problem with white conservatives is that they want to be materially better than everyone else.

    The problem with white liberals is that they want to feel like they’re better than everyone else.

    There seems to be a dispiriting spiral whereby timid centre-left governments get elected to deal with real problems, but because they're so timid – and scared by vested interests – prove to be ineffective.

    So then exasperated voters turn to right-wing politicians who seem at least shouty and confident. (sigh)

    The lesson? Supposedly progressive governments should be more confident, less scared of their own shadows and the tabloid media, and actually try to make useful if challenging changes. (Yes I am looking at you, Albanese. Biden too.)

    rood,
    @rood@aus.social avatar

    @timrichards in my eyes, Albanese is exactly as voted for. This is how it was always going to be. Look at the restoration of diplomacy with China. It's utterly tone deaf to a China that has become so false that the world is better off going it alone without China's inclusion.
