#RepresentativeDemocracy is looking trash.
#CorporateCapture has #ClimateChange steaming on, #TaxLoopholes for the rich, #WagesTheft not criminalised, #ZeroTaxCorporations, ecological destruction.

And capture by #ProIsraelLobby has the #GazaGenocide ignored, excused, trivialised.

And there are the failures of; #AgedCare, #ChildAbuse in gov institutions, victimising the unemployed, #FOI, #IndigenousHealth, online bullying of children, FoxNews conspiracy propaganda ..

... #WagesTheft being let run for decades, #Multinationals paying little tax for decades, #RTORipoffs, ...

With every recent, except Shorten (and he lost), PM-aspirant having gone crawling to #RupertMurdoch to kiss his rings and seek his favour, it seems likely that much energy that is rightfully spent improving #Australia will instead continue to be spent trying to appease the misanthrope Rupert.

Maybe #Woolworths paying their staff what they are legally required to would be a good start (about $750 odd million stolen in last several years). #WagesTheft https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/finance-news/2023/02/22/coles-woolworths-theft/?utm_campaign=Morning%20News%20-%2020230223&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Adestra&lr_hash=cb54282d116316794e73cd9c1d38a231

@strypey Tautoko, it's also one reason why we do all we can to avoid the hospitality industry, aside from budget constraints: #FoodWaste #WagesTheft lack of #WorkerRights horrible #ComplainingCustomers let alone #CovidSpreaders

My daughter left the industry and vows she will never go back and would not cry if it disappeared. They are their own worst enemy.

Great to read about #FoodPrint tho, at least some good is coming out of some of it. Kia ora for sharing.
