Don’t mention it

June 10, 2025

A total of $917 billion was spent on the recent Elbit arms contract with Israel, $800 million (plus) handed over by Richard Marles earlier this year to the US for AUKUS (plus another $12 billion a year until we receive these hypothetical submarines).

But flood victims, you can have a $800 one-off payment to clean out your house, buy new beds, furniture, redo your plumbing and feed yourself: $800 to put you and your family’s life back on track.

We won’t contemplate an inquiry into the many insurance companies that were hoping to charge you a minimum $28,000 a year to insure your house and are the reason you’re not insured this time round.

One step away from homelessness and the $800 payment is all we can offer you.
