J.D. Souther would have been 81 today. He co-wrote "Best of My Love," "New Kid in Town" and "Heartache Tonight" for the Eagles, and he had his own hit with "You're Only Lonely." This is magical. RIP J.D.

Why is Labor so obsessed with horse racing? They've given $900 million of our taxpayer money to the industry over 10 years! At the same time, Labor is cutting funding for the things Victorians actually need - schools, healthcare and public housing. #MelbourneCup #NupToTheCup

Is Melbourne Cup Day set to be 'take out the trash day' for the Victorian Government? Last Friday, all 79 Victorian councils demanded an immediate moratorium on new data centre approvals. Yet, Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny has NINE data centre proposals sitting on her desk seeking planning decisions today. That's because, at 6pm, the government enters caretaker mode and a freeze is placed on decision-making until after the election. Meanwhile Jess Wilson's Liberals won't commit to a policy on new data centres. You can't trust the parties to look after our communities, our environment, or our climate. Vote Independent at the Victorian state election. theage.com.au/politics/victo…
Eight-storey hub equivalent to 11 MCGs heads up $5 billion data centre queue

Nine data centre plans worth at least $5 billion sit on Sonya Kilkenny’s desk ahead of caretaker rules taking effect on Tuesday. A Stockland plan worth almost $1 billion is among them.

Walmart: 15,515 workers on SNAP. Amazon: 12,346. McDonald’s: 6,709. Dollar General: 5,187. That’s just 9 states. Corporate America profits while taxpayers help feed its workers. Why are we subsidizing low-wage business models?

With the RBA lining up to whack mortgage holders again, here’s the far fairer way to take the heat out of the economy, and tackle inflation. We tax the 1% and rein in their spending on data centres and their obvious excess, don’t keep punching down on mortgage holders.
Out of control (private) spending In the past two years the economy has experienced a spending spree. But it's come from the private sector, as this graph from the Australian Bureau of Statistics highlights.

Govt can find $368B and an additional $$150B to purchase nuclear subs and store weapons grade nuclear waste yet poor Australians survive in a tents. Public housing for US troops while battlers are ignored. What has Australia become? Why do we put warmongering before people?
