You too can join Queensland Socialists . Imagine a new world, because that which seemed all but impossible a short time ago, is not only realisable but an urgent necessity.

"Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, slavery, and brutality at the opposite pole."

Capitalism is Feudalism.

Queensland Political Culture – Struggle and Resistance in the Far North

Explore the unique Queensland political culture that shaped my upbringing and challenged my perceptions of authority.

Australia was governed by the ALP’s Bob Hawke and Paul Keating for most of the 80s. They also implemented neoliberal policies, albeit in a gentler form. This included selling off national public assets such as the Commonwealth Bank, Telecom, and Qantas.

The Stafford by-election on May 16 is a real opportunity to hold the Crisafulli Government to account for their authoritarian laws. You can send a strong message by voting for Queensland Socialists Liam Perry. #qldpol #stafford

The greatest challenge arose during the 1947-1948 Queensland rail strike. Rail unions were seeking a flow-on pay rise to match the federal award wages won by metalworkers. However, the ALP Hanlon government – despite Hanlon being a former railway worker himself – refused their demands, prompting strike action. https://www.robpyne.com.au/about/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-people/ #qldpol #qldhistory #socialism

Charlatans offer simple answers to complex problems and that occasionally gets them elected, but I commend Chris Hedges and The Chris Hedges Report for those looking for real explanations and answers to the worlds problems.

Chris is no stranger to violence, conflict and acts of terror. He covered wars and terrorism as a reporter for nearly two decades, most of them with The New York Times. He was in Central America for five years covering the conflicts in El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala, and he spent seven years in the Middle East and three years covering the war in the former Yugoslavia.

Growing up in Australia in the 1970s must surely have been one of the best times in history to be a child. My memories of this time are all about nature, family and community. #nostalgia #cairns #history
