slicker than your average, what?

11 leading economists spoke out against the treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s plans to create a surplus, labeling it of “zero value.”

The economists, assembled to be part of an economic forecasting panel, have said that Josh Frydenberg needs to rely less on the governor of the Reserve Bank to boost the faltering economy as it can only do so much without the government. A surplus shouldn’t be the goal but a net operating balance instead.

Even more economists have agreed that the government needs to do more to prevent an even weaker economy like increasing Newstart benefits, funding schools, and spending more on programs aimed at avoiding the worst of climate change. 

Scott Morrison wants to find a way to ban protesters from boycotting businesses that invest in non-renewable industries.

Leader of the party that prides itself on freedom of speech and the free market has decided that actually, fuck that, and fuck you too. Morrison, responsible for pushing for destructive anti-science climate policies that are destroying the Pacific Islands, causing extinctions of animals, the destruction of the great barrier reef, and will contribute to people dying from food insecurity, disease, displacement, and increasingly severe weather, has labelled protests against climate inaction as “indulgent and selfish.”

Unlike his desire to continue taking coal industry money and ignoring the consequences of this… which is totally noble and morally justifiable.

Morrison argued that these boycotts would have serious consequences on the Australian economy but the Reserve bank of Australia has urged the government to act on climate change as inaction will harm the economy... which the government has also ignored.

The PM went on to slam “progressivism” saying that “those who claim the title want to tell you where to live, what job you can have, what you can say and what you can think - and tax you for the privilege of all those instructions that are directed to you.”
