For over a Hundred Years Australia Debt reached $235 billion. This Government has increased it to $562 billion. AND they don’t care, at all. @zoeaeleron They want to give the Banks & Big Business MORE!
They are looking after their ‘mates’, the Banks and Big Business.
They have scrapped the Penalty Rates. Stopped Pensioners getting Heating Allowance. Stopped Funding to Hospitals and more…
DON’T FORGET;
Barnaby Joyce and Malcolm Turnbull voted against the Banking Royal Commission 23 times.
These two claim to be the champions of regional Australia – but today the #bankingRC confirmed what everyone knew- big banks are unfairly driving farmers off their land- these two knew it too, but voted against the royal commission over 20 times- why not report this?
Queensland cattle farmer Elizabeth Handley – having suffered fire, flood and drought – asked ANZ to postpone a mediation meeting because she’d received adverse biopsies and, shortly after, would be diagnosed with cancer. ANZ declined…

Australia’s largest banks may be forced to impose “out of cycle” mortgage rate hikes as global interest rates push higher.
There is speculation they cannot afford the political fallout of raising interest rates while the banking royal commission is underway.

Why the RBA can’t move
Some economists see the Reserve Bank hiking interest rates before the end of the year. Ian Verrender reckons they’re dreaming.
“What that [view] ignores is the fact that they’re businesses with a clear commercial imperative, at the end of the day, they care about their margins and preserving it,” she said.
Stark footage of WA prison staff using excessive force on inmates has been released by the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) as part of a damning series of reports about serious misconduct in prisons.The CCC said unreasonable force was used against prisoners in several incidents at jails in 2016 and 2017.
Dramatic vision from three such incidents has been released, two of them involving the use of chemical agents on prisoners at Eastern Goldfields prison in 2017.
Capsicum spray used on inmates In the first, on May 4, a guard was dealing with a 51-year-old minimum security prisoner who took hold of a door handle and would not let go.Within nine seconds of the prisoner holding the door handle, the officer “requested chemical agent from his colleague” and used it almost immediately.
The Commission said the use of the capsicum spray was not in line with Department of Justice policies and there was an “unacceptable risk of hydraulic eye damage”.The officer had placed his colleagues at risk, the CCC said, although evidence from other officers suggested the prisoner presented no threat.The officer’s own report did not explain why he deployed the agent.
