RaymondPierreL3<p>Greg Jericho has dropped another piece in The Guardian, and makes a good point: ‘‘If you can’t admit Australia is a low-taxing nation, then you should not get entry into any roundtable discussion on the topic.”</p><p>As usual, his words are backed by facts and statistics, the same sets available to all punters in the economic debate, it’s just that most pundits choose to ignore them or simply cherry pick to suit their objectives.

A US general just threatened Russia’s Kaliningrad & this is why that’s so significant — Ukrainian hackers wipe databases at Russia’s Gazprom in major cyberattack — Ukrainian forces ‘steadfastly’ holding defenses near Pokrovsk — Ukrainian artist’s Sculpture series normalizes injured bodies of Ukraine’s soldiers … and more

It is a pity that the #Australian Government is so beholden to the USA that they did not join this block.

It is clear that Israel’s right to defend itself has become Israel’s #genocide on #Palestinian people - and that change happened a long time ago.

The agreed measures below are the absolute minimum they Australia should be doing …

‘According to the summit's final statement, the measures include implementing an arms embargo on weapons to Israel, preventing ships carrying weapons to Israel from docking at ports, reviewing public contracts that support the Israeli occupation of Palestine, fulfilling obligations to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law, and backing prosecutions of Israeli war criminals at national and international levels.’

President #Trump, you’re right. US #drug prices are a rip-off. But #Australian #healthcare isn’t for sale, and we’ve no intention of paying your exorbitant #prices.

We’ll never give in to threats designed to undermine the #PBS or #Medicare, and we will always fight to ensure our #government and #politicians stand up for universal healthcare for all. So keep your hands off our PBS – try fixing your healthcare system instead!
