Sold out to capitalism

October 23, 2025

What we all need to learn from this latest round of arse-licking is that Trump is the end result when government sells out to capitalism. It has been obvious for a long time and Australian governments have foolishly followed the US lead like lemmings over a cliff.

The Teals and the latest election result may well be an indicator that the electorate has woken up and had enough. With the LNP brawling among themselves, unlike the carbon tax and the No vote, they may not be able to get their millionaire/media mates together to win back their voters.

That leaves the Labor Party. Who will vote for them now that they have wasted a substantial majority? Will climate change continue to win over voters? Will voters finally recognise that the selling off of all things public has been a disaster and only benefitted shareholders?

Will the voters recognise that during floods, fire and famine, plus aging infrastructure and poor service, without taxation the private sector will have no one to bail them out?

The private sector exists to make a profit. The government exists to regulate and ensure that all benefit.
