“Progressive unemployment through automation “ - Surrealists
COVID forced people to stay home, 3.6 million and 4 million Australians were supported by the #JobKeeper payment.
2.2 million people who received some form or welfare payment (such as #JobSeeker, colloquially called 'the #dole') enjoyed a top-up payment called the coronavirus supplement that essentially doubled their income.

Wow. #LNP thug Peter #Dutton really lays into his own Liberal National party for years of #corruption and #rorts! 🤣
💰 #JobKeeper: $89 billion
💰 #HelloWorld: $1 billion
💰 Canavan - Mining: $1 billion
💰 Dutton - #Paladin: #423 million
Tax office resurrects billions worth of old debts... (what about #jobkeeper ? Remember millions given to #harveynorman ?) #auspol
@dragonsidedd Woops. I need to make what I said public.
As I said, I haven't been able to research monero much, but bitcoin i have very slowly gotten interested in over the years. I think seeing how they printed money over the years and more money for the wealthy, with a little scam they called #JobKeeper in Australia --- I think that is what clinched it for me.
I've heard that monero is more private but if there is a bug that enables someone to hide more money than they have, it may never be found and fixed. One such bug WAS fixed but it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I like that monero is trying different things though, but I think i'll stick with bitcoin.

Accessing super has allowed migrant workers locked out of #JobKeeper to scrape by. But many workers like Andres have discovered this entitlement hasn't been paid by dodgy bosses. We need a wage subsidy for all workers so nobody falls through the cracks. https://t.co/0JBKt3huRe

New #Qantas chief Vanessa Hudson’s fix-it order to senior staff - https://apple.news/AQIQ80rYZSX6kFuiMiqVyww | Until #QANTAS reinstate the ~1,700 staff that were terminated before their jobs were outsourced, discontinue their sexual discrimination against male passengers, repay #JobKeeper and *significantly* improve their customer service standards, I’ll take my business elsewhere… This horrible, unethical and unAustralian company doesn’t deserve our loyalty. | #VanessaHudson #Australia
Barnaby Joyce wants #Qantas to pay back its #JobKeeper millions.
The Guardian, 2019: "Barnaby Joyce spent $675,000 in expenses but less than three weeks on ground while drought envoy". #auspol

We were banned from Fakebook for talking about three things in 2020, one being the #hyperInflationary effects of the govt policy in #Australia (of giving blank cheques to the most wealthy and the minimum to everyone else).
@kentparkstreet I wonder how they lasted this long - #JobKeeper?
There is much furore in #Australia about ex-PM #ScottMorrison subverting democratic processes during #covid.
You could have gaslit us!
Australia, and #theWest generally, has **not** been a democracy for a while, but an autocracy. Funny how anyone who says this is classified a "conspiracy theorist".

> So many lives have been wrecked by the #pandemic and the #bailouts (at least where I am, in #Sweden) … and geared towards preserving the existing social hierarchy, with more money offered to those who were already making money.
May we say, "#Australia, same", with class-based payouts they called "#JobKeeper".
Thanks for sharing, humanity does need a #UBI now.
Its not difficult to spot policies that produce #inequality.
Last year, we called out #JobKeeper at its inception in #Australia, highlighting it was a #scam entrenching the #classDivide by giving bigger #welfarePayments to those who were well-paid prePandemic.
We called out the policies, others too, but our voices were drowned out by #corporateState.
Finally now #Australian #legacyMedia report that, of the businesses that got extreme welfare, 53% didn't need it.

Its not difficult to spot the policies that produce inequality.
We called out #JobKeeper at its inception at the start of the 2020 economic downturn. We were highlighting that they are entrenching the divide by giving more support to those who were well paid prePandemic.
We called out the policies and others were too but the aforementioned #corporateState drowns us out.
Before the #Metaverse name is widely known, we need #oneBigPush for #Fediverse recognition. It'll be too late soon.
Someone once said, "The fact that there exists a #business.gov.au makes me want to sh!t in the mouth of #policymakers, #bureaucrats and their #cronies in #government".
That person is perhaps the most #intelligent person we know.

It's good to see that some in #Australia have been able to identify #JobKeeper as a #scam. Designed to enrich the #powerElite, and the #extremelyWealthy, while regular honest #Australians, #casualWorkers, #unemployed and the #lessFortunate are left behind.
Good to see people hashtagging #NoWorkersLeftBehind and #WageSubsidyForAll but what did you make of those hashtags?
Did you actually #organise?
This is why we need #alternativeMedia and more using Tor and I2P.
