For a society that puts people before profit, vote socialist. We'll stand up to the major parties and the big corporate interests they serve, push back against the racism of One Nation, and fight to ensure everyone, no matter their circumstances, has what they need to live a dignified life.

Yay a blunt instrument which is meant to strike 30% of the population is the way to go. Or, we could raise the GST since it hits 99% of the population. Of course, we can lower it too when inflation lowers. Don't worry about the GST hit, it causes a one off hit as witnessed in 2000 #springst #auspol

As a Queenslander why should I care about the Victorian election? It's because Victorians sent us Queenslanders their greatest political leader of all time. His name was Premier TJ Ryan. We built a statue to him. He lies at rest in Toowong Cemetery. #springst education.qld.gov.au/about-us/bud...
