A good news day?

Leave a reply

There’s so much happening at the moment it’s overwhelming even reading the news. Here in Noosa we’ve been personally affected by the floods, which continue to cause havoc and grief across Queensland and NSW. Covid is still taking lives every day, particularly in aged care, a continuing crisis, And all of the world stands in horror as Russia attacks Ukraine.

There’s so much to write about, and so much to read. One of the key reasons for starting this blog was to create ‘shareable content’ that Labor people can pass on to friends and family who may be less politically engaged. A way to give people who consume ‘news’ via Murdoch, Sky News etc, an alternative viewpoint.

So rather than try rehashing what’s already been said, I’m sharing some interesting articles I’ve read in the last week or two, that are a little removed from floods and war, but definitely relevant to the political battle that’s ahead of us.

I have to admit I really enjoyed the Woman’s Weekly piece (I never ever thought I’d say that!) on ‘our Albo’. And since it’s Anthony Albanese’s birthday today (and Dr Jim Chalmers too) let’s start there. I even borrowed their photo.

albo-bday

So here’s a link to the WW feature, it’s a great one to share with lazy people who say they ‘don’t know who Albo is’.  This length article tells us a lot about our leader’s “gut-level belief in such old-fashioned values as equality, loyalty and mateship” that pervades his personal and professional life (Credit Samantha Trenoweth).

Then there’s this discussion (David Milner, 25/02/22) about lies in media. Lies that are told so many times they become myths. We know this will be a dirty election, and Milner cautions in no uncertain terms:

“This election campaign will be relentless and cruel, stupid and depraved, infuriating and harrowing. The confused people still in your lives will spout confused nonsense, just as they did when Howard weaponised xenophobia and othering. Steel yourself against this shit. If you feel hatred bubbling for the political classes now, just give it a month or two – you’ll be a fully fledged Sith by election day.”

Next up is Kaye Lee’s “What a complete waste of time the last nine years have been” (24/02/22), which ends “It’s time to call quits on what has been the most inept, most incompetent, most offensive, most dishonest, least intelligent, least compassionate, least prepared government this country has ever had the misfortune to endure.”

And finally, if you need a memory jog for your next encounter with a rusted on right winger, especially when you’re in the red shirts campaigning for your local candidate, here are at least 20 ‘lowlights’ of Morrison’s Prime Ministership. Enjoy a giggle – we all need one right now.

Labor’s Climate Change Policy means greater economic growth for Qld

Leave a reply

2019-climate-march-sign-1024x684

By Anne Kennedy, Noosa branch

 

Chris Bowen, the Shadow Minister for Climate Change, in his Labor Party Climate Change Policy brief (November 2021), said that the economics of Climate Change is key to getting support for Labor’s policy.

He highlighted that:

  • The policy creates 604,000 jobs
  • 5/6 of these jobs are in regional Australia and
  • A big chunk of these jobs are in regional Qld. in the transformation to renewable energy

I will go one step further and say – the Labor Party Climate Change Policy and the jobs it will generate in regional Qld., can be the difference between winning & losing the federal election in Qld.

The ‘People Powering the Future – Skilling Queenslanders for the Clean Transformation’ report commissioned by the Climate Council and undertaken by Deloitte Access Economics models the economic transformation to net zero already underway in Queensland, with a focus on the skills and jobs that our new economy will need. The report outlines the changes that are set to happen in Queensland’s job market, and where intervention from policy makers is essential.

Key findings of the report include:

  1. There will be more jobs in Queensland, and a larger economy, if the state manages the transformation to a clean economy well.
    • Planning and managing the transformation to a clean economy successfully will grow the Queensland economy 7% by 2050.
    • Demand for clean economy jobs will grow 2.5% each year over this decade. Excitingly, clean jobs will make up three quarters of the top growing occupations by 2030.
  1. Climate action is an economic necessity for Queensland.
    • More than 80% of Australia’s trading partners are committed to reaching net zero, which means customers for our fossil fuel export are drying up. Queensland can’t sell what the world no longer wants.
    • If Queensland and Australia get the transition to net zero wrong, there are increased costs to the economy – in both job losses and stagnant growth. Deloitte estimates the costs of decarbonising over the next decade could be 45% higher for Australia if the world acts and we fail to.
    • Queensland has what the world needs for a clean economic transformation – including base metals and rare earth minerals.
  1. Queensland’s economy and workers are ready for the net zero transformation. 
    • This report found that fears that decarbonisation will mean large job losses are unfounded. The majority of Queenslanders’ jobs won’t be impacted by the move to a clean economy.
    • In fact, 80 percent of the tasks needed in Queensland’s clean economy are already being performed. For example, an electrician working in a coal mine can relatively easily upskill to work in another part of the economy.
    • Queensland workers have, on average, four alternative occupations they can immediately pursue (with no additional formal training). For example drillers, miners and shot firers can immediately transition into working as a power generation plant operator.

4. The government must lead in planning how to upskill Queensland’s workforce for the net zero economy. This will result in better outcomes for workers, businesses and the broader state economy.

  • The Queensland Government can ensure the right on-the-job and training opportunities are available to workers. For example, by doing a short course or VET qualification, mining industry electricians can become a mechanical engineering draftsperson and technician, and earn a higher wage.
  • Policy makers have a critical role to play in ensuring the right training opportunities are available – both for transitioning workers and school leavers.
  1. Planning and preparing for a lower-emissions future will future-proof Queensland and create economic opportunities in every region.
    • If we plan early for the economic transformation every region in Queensland will enjoy clean economic growth and job opportunities.
      • South East Queensland will see massive growth in clean jobs by 2050. This includes 1300 jobs in hydrogen, 1350 in bioenergy and 4900 in clean electricity.
      • North Queensland is expected to experience one of the highest overall average annual growth rates in employment. The clean electricity sector alone is anticipated to grow 8.6% every year until 2050.
      • Central Queensland has significant opportunities for jobs growth in clean electricity (7.8% per year), hydrogen (6.9% per year) and base metal mining (4.9% per year).
      • South West Queensland’s traditional strengths will continue to grow its regional economy. Construction is expected to more than double between 2021 and 2050, from contributing $749 million now to $1.5 billion in 2050. Agriculture will jump from contributing $4,167 million to the economy now to $7,723 million in 2050.

The Labor Party Climate Change Policy means greater economic growth for Qld, particularly in regional areas. So get out there and talk to your friends, family & neighbours about the policy.

It can be the difference between winning & losing the federal election!

We have lost our moral compass with refugees

Leave a reply
refugee
By Michael Springer, Brisbane
Yesterday on Twitter Barrie Cassidy, the formers Insiders host, posed this question:
“How can the PM of this country not know that most of the detainees being held in cruel conditions at the park hotel are genuine refugees? Not asylum seekers. We have totally lost our moral compass.”
The genesis of this Twitter comment from Cassidy was after Scott Morrison was challenged on 2GB radio by presenter Ben Fordham about how it was “acceptable” that refugees in the same hotel as Djokovic had been detained for almost nine years with taxpayers spending millions of dollars “to keep them in limbo.” 25 of the 32 refugees have been granted refugee status, including a 24 year old man named Mehdi who has been held in offshore and onshore detention for the past 9 years. Medhi’s refugee status was granted to him by none other than Morrison, when he was the Immigration Minister.
In his usual style of either deflect, lie or confabulate a fact to try to change the narrative, Morrison chose to lie when he suggested to Fordham that they weren’t refugees by replying in this manner:
“Well, the specific cases, Ben, I mean, it’s not clear that to my information that someone in that case is actually a refugee. They may have sought asylum and been found not to be a refugee and have chosen not to return, and … that happens in this country, people aren’t found to be refugees and they won’t return.”
Cassidy’s sage question and opinion captures the very essence of this issue, namely we have lost our moral compass. We are a signatory to the United Nations 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees (Convention). It’s a moral issue which both Sir Robert Menzies and Dr Evatt approached in a bipartisan manner to ensure the horrors of post WWII Statelessness could be appropriately addressed. Indeed, Australia led the way in the United Nations in ensuring the Convention was established (Dr Evatt had also previously during the late 1940’s drafted the Declaration of Human Rights). Subsequently in a further bipartisan effort, Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser extended the application of the legislation in this country applying to the Convention so that Australia could provide safe shelter to people from Vietnam and Cambodia.
Even though the issue of refugees has been weaponised as a political tactic since 2001, it’s not a right or left issue. It’s a moral issue which should occupy our collective conscious as a democratic nation to deliver humanity to the poor souls whose lives in their countries have been disrupted by war, famine or persecution.
Morrison has undoubtedly been the worst manipulator of this issue as a measure to secure votes. Dutton’s nose is almost beating him across the line in the race to the bottom of the political hill. It took a spoilt tennis player being detained at the same insanitary hotel to not only draw the World’s attention to our treatment of refugees (a report is now being specifically prepared by the United Nations about Australia’s breach of the Convention), but also hopefully recalibrating our collective conscious as a nation back to the pre-eminent moral high ground we held from the days of Menzies and Evatt, through to Whitlam and Fraser.
I have been advocating for the fair treatment of refugees since 2010. The issue was being weaponised by Tony Abbott, and the incumbent Rudd/ Gillard Governments were all at sea trying to respond to the issue in the face of a hostile press. I have received in response to my advocacy abusive emails, posts, text messages and Tweets, but I will not be dehorted from my mission to reset our moral compass, to end the cruelty, to extricate the politics from the issue and to once again place Australia on the moral high ground of honouring the Convention.
The question I kindly pose to all of you is this, will you join me?

WE CAN END POVERTY

By Nicola Wilson, Noosa Branch (Wide Bay)

 

Australia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. We’re ranked 12th/13th by GDP (depending on the source 1). The economy has remained stable overall during Covid, although with a negative growth in the quarter to September 20212. But we can safely say that as a nation, we’re wealthy, and that’s what we’ll generally hear the Federal Treasurer talk about.

The distribution of wealth, however, is nothing to brag about. “The Australian” published “The List” in March this year, its top 250 rich list, glorifying how much Australia’s richest people soared through the pandemic.

Together, the top 250 have a combined wealth of $470 billion, up from $377 billion last year3. There are 122 billionaires in Australia. Gina Rinehart’s wealth increased from $16 billion to $36 billion. Andrew Forrest doubled his wealth from $14 billion to $30 billion. Just in one year.

The wealthiest 20% of Australians hold around 62% of the wealth4.

The poorest 20% of households received 7% of the income (including wages and social welfare), but hold only 1% of the wealth. And they haven’t seen an increase in their “wealth” in the last 10 years4.

We are one of the wealthiest countries, but we have the 16th highest poverty rate out of the 34 wealthiest countries in the OECD – higher than the average for the OECD – and higher than the UK, Germany and New Zealand5.

We have 122 billionaires. But meanwhile, 3.2 million people in Australia live in poverty, and almost a million of those are children. This number comes from a report by the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) published in 2020, and the number will have increased since publication as a result of Covid job losses and withdrawal of covid supplements6.

infographic-snippet

ACOSS defines poverty5 as earning less than 50% of median income. According to the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, as of June 2021, the poverty line for a family of 4 is $1,089 per week, just under $57,000 a year7. Families earning below that live in poverty.

The likelihood of living in poverty increases for the following groups of people living in Australia8.

  • Children in sole parent families – a staggering 44% now live below the poverty line, and it’s much more likely if the parent is female
  • Families with children where parents are working but underemployed
  • Disabled people (about 37% of those in poverty)
  • Over 65s who are not homeowners, especially women
  • Those born overseas (59% of adults living in poverty were born in Australia, 33% in non-English speaking countries)
  • The unemployed

So it’s clear that many people living in poverty are reliant on government support to survive – whether because of lack of employment, due to their age or disability. So let’s look at Federal Government social security payments.

  • Maximum welfare payments for a family of four is $871 per week versus the poverty line of $1,0897. That’s a gap of $218 per week or $11,000 per year.
  • Maximum welfare payments for a single person is $385 per week versus the poverty line of $5807. That’s a gap of $195 a week, or $10,000 per year.

The government chooses to put 3 million people under the poverty line. 35% of households reliant on social security payments live in poverty6. Payments have not increased in real terms since 1994 despite the vastly increased cost of living and in particular housing.

Everybody should have enough money or resources for the basic needs of life – a home, enough food for the household, clothing, education and health expenses. With further cuts to Medicare and the PBS over the last year and the lack of affordable housing, this just keeps getting harder.

Living below the poverty line leads to homelessness, which creates a whole new cycle – not having a home limits your ability to access education, a job, or healthcare. Without these basics, vulnerable people can’t get find their own way out of poverty, they have to be supported. And of course, there is a strong correlation between poverty and poor mental health, and suicide.

According to Vinnies, not-for-profits provide around $43 billion to the Australian economy each year4 because the government chooses to keep 3 million people in poverty. Charities have become the default providers of services – accommodation for the homeless, food for refugees who are not allowed to work, electricity bills for older Australians who can’t afford to pay, significant support to the mentally ill.

Ending poverty comes at a cost, but brings financial benefits as well as the obvious benefit to society and human rights. The Vinnies report estimated there could be $2.3 billion annual savings in hospital expenditure, and $458 million in Medicare and Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme savings4. Further savings not quantified relate to crime, anti-social behaviour, relationship breakdowns and ‘spill over’ effects.

Increasing Jobseeker during Covid gave us a unique experiment into lifting people out of poverty. Benefits were increased by up to $550 a fortnight (that’s $275 a week. Remember the gap for a family of four was $218). Suddenly, thousands of households were lifted above the poverty line.

And did that extra money get spent on drugs? No … well maybe prescribed drugs.

A report by Accenture found that “of the extra $550 a fortnight, $85 was spent on household bills, electricity, phone, water; $70 of that extra money was spent on food; around $60 was spent on clothing and household goods; around $175 was saved or used to pay down debt. They didn’t spend that money on frivolous or discretionary items. They didn’t withdraw from the labour market. They spent it well on their families and bills. And they spent it quickly, which made it a good stimulus that’s supported the economy.”9

Wow – Trickle up economics actually works!

Taking the Covid supplement away, at a time when the underemployment rate increased, threw people back below the poverty line.

Closing the gap with social security benefits would cost about $20 billion per year to start with10. But over time, lifting people out of poverty would boost the economy and create more jobs, as people are able to afford to consume more products and services. More people could access further education, leading to more skilled workers. A thriving economy leads to more infrastructure to support more services.

Added to the cost savings and other benefits already mentioned, the net cost would decrease over time.

Now I acknowledge that $20 billion is a lot of money for a government to find, but how much did the Morrison government waste in the last year on Jobseeker to profitable companies ($40 billion11), broken submarine deals ($66 billion), and now ditched helicopters ($7 billion12)? Not to mention the rorts.

Or another comparison – the Morrison government spends $4.3m per year per refugee held on Nauru13. But can’t find an extra $10,000 per household a year for people already living in this wealthy country.

One solution may be to tax those billionaires.

But however we find the cash, we need to raise the rate.

Weakened as the week ends

What a week for Morrison! After returning from Glasgow an international embarrassment and called out as a liar, the week began in full campaign mode to restore the marketing man’s rapidly devaluing brand. He set off on tour to “reconnect” with NSW and Victoria. Haven’t they suffered enough?

Daggy Dad was back pretending to be one of the people: “Kids are back at school, what a relief!” The costume wardrobe was raided again, with hard helmets, high vis, chef’s aprons and even a barber’s gown while the nation supervised his hair plugs get a trim. If that wasn’t enough to elicit a cheer from the infamous quiet Australians, there was more pantomime in store – Morrison playing at driving trucks and whatever electric vehicles he could get his clown gloves on. While Anthony Albanese was out celebrating the (vegetarian) Diwali festival with Hindu members of his community, Morrison posted a photo of himself pretending to make a meat curry.

And then there was the backflip on electric vehicles, which, according to Morrison, came as a result of significant unforseen changes to technology (in 2 years!). Similar to the as-yet-not-developed technology (not taxes) that will provide a miracle path to Net Zero by 2050?

Paul Keating’s address at the National Press Club on Wednesday reminded us of former PM’s who have led with intellect, passion and wit. Meanwhile … Scotty from Marketing gave us videos of people taking videos of him pretending to make gnocchi. Then yesterday we saw him hijacking a Remembrance Day service at the Doncaster RSL (Vic). Did he tell the pensioners he ‘served’ breakfast about the Indue card coming their way?

Of course the clincher was saved for the end of the week. Asked by 3AW radio host Neil Mitchell if he had ever told a lie in public life, Morrison replied: “I don’t believe I have, no.”

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/scott-morrison-says-he-doesn-t-believe-he-s-ever-lied-in-public-life/973ca5c1-90ec-4b5d-af7c-c7b8d4489af4

And this is just another example of carefully crafted responses that enable the PM to skirt around the truth. He couldn’t just answer yes or no … he adds enough extra words to give him wriggle room. Because we know for a fact that he has lied (Crikey has produced a dossier of 42 falsehoods! https://www.crikey.com.au/dossier-of-lies-and-falsehoods/). But his response means that we rely on fact, only what he states he believes to be true. Who can question that? He can believe whatever he wants (like the Rapture!) but that doesn’t make it true.

Scott Morrison will say anything to help him cling on to power. He will say whatever suits his purpose one day, then conveniently contradict it the next. Like Trump and his fake news, Morrison lives in a parallel universe where he’s always right. Today’s slogan and announcement is all that he cares about. And tomorrow he’ll just ‘move on’ to a new reality that only he believes. But the quiet Australians are starting to pay attention. We’ve seen the fake and the spin and the cosplay too many times. He needs to stop pretending to be popular and start leading the country.

Morrison lied when he said “Bill Shorten wants to end the weekend”. And Morrison has ended this week weakened.

Copping an international beating

Leave a reply

cop26

It’s becoming more and more obvious why Morrison didn’t want to go to Glasgow, as footage of our clumsy ‘leader’ emerges from Europe. Even the Australian media is starting to criticise him, as we cop an international beating in the build-up to COP26. Things have been tense with France ever since Morrison pulled the plug on the submarines deal due to the lack of communication. In today’s headlines we saw Macron calling Morrison a liar (“I don’t think, I know”) and maybe, finally, the emperor has been exposed in all his naked glory.

Of course we all know Morrison is not to be trusted, and that his announcement of a net zero target for 2050 is as empty as his other promises. He’s never believed in climate change, and while beholden to the Nats he’s never going to take action. The glossy pamphlet is typical of Morrison’s slogans and spin, but hasn’t fooled climate scientists, who described it as “flaky” and “hollow” (see CNN article).   https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/25/australia/australia-climate-net-zero-intl/index.html

Let’s not forget that when former PM Malcom Turnbull tried to legislate climate action, the Liberals turned on him in a leadership spill, with Morrison announcing “He’s my leader, I’m ambitious for him!” before knifing him and becoming PM. So we know the PM has form when it comes to lying, and in avoiding action on climate change.

The plan in a pamphlet is a marketing ploy to pretend that there is action, but there are no targets, it relies on technology that hasn’t even been invented yet, and it won’t be legislated. It doesn’t even have modelling behind it. The fact that a government needs a page of bullet points to announce that it will “be accountable” on climate after 8 years of inactivity really says it all. The plan is based on Abbot’s 2015 submission, with no new targets or action. It’s a plan to do nothing while pretending to have a plan to do something, in order to placate voters who want to see action on climate change. Apparently that’s the Australia way.

Meanwhile, Labor is being criticised for not releasing a plan and modelling, despite not being in government! At a press conference last week, Anthony Albanese described Morrison’s plan as a scam, and stated:

“We will announce our policies after Glasgow. I’ve been consistent about that the whole way through. And in the meantime, we’ve announced Rewiring the Nation, we’ve announced New Energy Apprenticeships, community batteries, we’ve announced our cheaper electric vehicle policy. Comprehensive policies that will make a difference. We will continue to announce a series of policies that are signed off by us as a Labor Opposition. But we will finalise a number of matters after Glasgow. And it will be well-known before the election.”

In Wide Bay, we have the added blow of having a Nationals MP. Usually notable by his silence (and absence in parliament of late), Llew O’Brien was reported as one of six National MPs who “spoke out strongly against the [net-zero] target”.

It’s time for a government who cares about people, climate, jobs and doing the right thing at a local and global level.

It’s Time

Many of us believed it was time for a change in federal government in 2019 (still shocked!) but now, in 2021, it’s becoming clearer for all that Morrison’s government has got to go. In a year that’s seen one scandal or corruption after another, and mounting examples of incompetence, the ‘quiet Australians’ are starting to sit up and take notice. From rape cover ups, rorts and ‘blind trusts’ to the vaccination stroll out, failure to build quarantine facilities and now being dragged into the smallest of steps on climate change (embarrassing us at a national level), Morrison and his corrupt ministers have shown every step of the way that they do not care about the people they supposedly represent. Just themselves, clinging on to power while failing to do the jobs we taxpayers pay them to do. So many announcements, so little action. And if you’re not a big business, or a big donor, they don’t want to know.

But would the ordinary person know this from the media? No… because Murdoch doesn’t want us to know.

People are angry. People are struggling. 1 in 6 people in Australia live below the poverty line. It’s a political choice, it doesn’t need to be like this.

In March this year, women (and men) across the country marched for justice – in support for Brittany Higgins and in protest at the way women are treated by the federal government. We’ve absolutely had enough. With thousands of women raising their voices, they still wouldn’t listen.

In parliament just this week, the government showed its contempt for democracy, voting against the Speaker’s recommendation to refer Christian Porter’s $1 million trust fund for legal fees to the Privileges committee. And the reason the government was able to defeat the vote to send the Porter matter to the Privileges Committee was because the government will not allow independent crossbenchers to vote remotely. Elected MP’s were literally stopped from voting. One thing is for sure, the only time you will ever hear the word ‘trust’ in relation to this government, it’s when it’s being used to cover up the truth! You definitely can’t trust them to do the right thing.

Every week we think things couldn’t get worse, and then they do.

So in the build-up to a federal election, how do we make sure voters get a more balanced view?

Over the next few months, we’ll be writing out what’s making us angry, why it’s time for change, and what Labor will do differently. There’s a lot been happening this year, but you need to know where to look, away from the spin and the cover ups.

If you have a topic you’d like us to cover, please let us know!
