Goldman Sachs has agreed to limit its UK partners’ pay and bonuses to 1 million pounds. That sounds about right – one million pounds into their money grubbing greedy guts.

Ten percent pay rises for the filthy rich bosses, nothing for the low paid. That really does sum up the obscenity that is capitalism.

Let’s push for a $90 a week pay increase for workers and pensioners. If it is good enough for politicians it is good enough for those they serve.

We should look at taxation through the eyes of the working class. Tax labour lightly and capital heavily.

Commonwealth Bank management salary cuts are tokenistic posturing aimed at convincing staff to accept a real wage cut.

What an obscenity. The rich and powerful are telling the poorly paid that a wage increase would be bad. Not bad for the poorly paid mind you, but bad for the rich and powerful. Hard to imagine isn’t it – Australia’s CEOs as caring sharing types worried about job losses? Don’t laugh. Evidently they care about […]

The Afghanistan killings raise real issues about our role and presence in Afghanistan. And what do our press run with? The battle between the two snake oil salesmen of capitalism over rich wives. What’s the difference between Rudd and Turnbull anyway? One favours tax cuts for merchant bankers; the other agrees, but wants bigger tax cuts for them.

What better way to reclaim IWD than for Pacific Brands workers on 8 March to demonstrate, strike and occupy to defend their jobs?
And for female and male workers around Australia to support them.
