Peter Riley<p>Raising Jobseeker to $80 per day—in line with the Raise the Rate campaign—and indexing it to keep up with wages would cost $9.5 billion per year.</p><p>This a fraction of the cost of superannuation tax concessions ($50 billion per year) or the Capital Gains Tax discount ($15 billion), both of which mainly benefit the richest Australians.</p><p><a href="https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/jobseeker-payments-are-too-low/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">australiainstitute.org.au/post</span><span class="invisible">/jobseeker-payments-are-too-low/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AUWU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AUWU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/breadline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>breadline</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/costoflivingcrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>costoflivingcrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dole</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jobseeker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jobseeker</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/povertyline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>povertyline</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RaiseTheRate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaiseTheRate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unemployedworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployedworkers</span></a></p>
Kalvin Carefour Johnny<p>It isn't fair for me to be charged a "penalty" by my college because I have fallen into worse poverty and cannot even afford a daily allowance for college or for petrol. I needed them to extend my semester, but they insisted on a penalty of RM400. I believe I must pay this when I re-enter college in July. However, I have decided not to pay it immediately, but rather to have a conversation with the staff first to discuss the matters behind the penalties that justify them being charged to me, and why I am being penalized due to my hardship (poverty) and need for a hiatus. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StudentDebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentDebt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PovertyIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PovertyIsNotACrime</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EducationForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EducationForAll</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/KrisisKewanganPelajar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KrisisKewanganPelajar</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MahasiswaMalaysia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MahasiswaMalaysia</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/KenaikanYuran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KenaikanYuran</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AcademicExploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicExploitation</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FightTheFee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FightTheFee</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EducationApartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EducationApartheid</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WaiveTheFee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaiveTheFee</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StopStudentPenalties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopStudentPenalties</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SolidarityNotFines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolidarityNotFines</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CostOfLivingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLivingCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/YouthInDebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouthInDebt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BrokenEducationSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrokenEducationSystem</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MalaysiaBoleh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MalaysiaBoleh</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ReformasiPendidikan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReformasiPendidikan</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Malaysia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malaysia</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MSU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MSU</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MSUCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MSUCollege</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Vent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vent</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hardships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hardships</span></a></p>
Green Party NI<p>The cost-of-living crisis isn’t inevitable—it’s a ruthless choice made by corporate elites and spineless politicians who sacrifice families for profits. Energy companies are price-gouging, supermarkets are exploiting, and landlords are bleeding tenants dry, all while CEOs laugh their way to the bank. It’s time to shatter this rigged system and demand a fair economy that puts people before profit.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/CostOfLivingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLivingCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/EconomicJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EconomicJustice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SocialJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialJustice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/PeopleOverProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeopleOverProfit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/FairEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairEconomy</span></a></p>

RaymondPierreL3<p>From Alan Kohler’s column ( <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-24/democracy-climate-change-ai-robotics-war/105085846" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-03-24/dem</span><span class="invisible">ocracy-climate-change-ai-robotics-war/105085846</span></a> ):</p><p>“This is a time when clear political vision and decisive leadership is called for, when the stakes for tomorrow's federal budget and the coming election couldn't be higher. Not that you would know it from the grubby squabbles that pass for national debate these days.”</p><p>Kohler identifies climate action, the retreat of America from democracy and world order, and China’s lead in robotics as the global trends about to change the world as we know it.</p><p>While the ‘grubby’ side of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> in an <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusElection25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusElection25</span></a> year is dull, I think that the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CostOfLivingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLivingCrisis</span></a> cannot be left out as the number 1 issue with the electorate. Every other domestic issue stems from that single focus and the election will be won or lost on that hill IMO.</p><p>The one thing I do not completely agree with Alan Kohler is his prognosis for a massive loss of jobs due to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Robotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robotics</span></a> . IA is a big marketing campaign and will ultimately fail (though niche markets will continue to benefit from advances in GAI and maybe future AGI developments - but the latter is a big if). As for robotics, we’ve had them for decades (EG. Toyota Factory automation). They are both expensive and not ‘clever’. Moreover, automation of tasks has meant a transfer of human effort to other (new) jobs. In short, the rise in robot use is an indication of society in transition - wherever that leads to..</p><p>Lastly, Clear and Decisive leadership is a perennial requirement for good govt no matter the environment in which they must perforce operate. I normally enjoy reading Alan’s columns but not this one so much…</p>
