Either Aboriginal People are the biggest criminals on earth, genetically pre-disposed to crime, or there's something seriously wrong with our criminal justice system. As the inaugural Manager of Australia's 1st Indigenous Specific Prison, I can assure you it's the later!
@ScottMorrisonMP seems to think Aboriginal People should be able to forget the past, dust themselves off, accept defeat and get on with it. Except, of course, the past is ever present, both in the rate at which my people are jailed, and in the lingering effects of colonisation.
When you're dealing with segregation, oppression, high unemployment & low income, there are a lot of men and women who feel like they can't support their families.

Let’s end this asinine “war on drugs”. Prohibition didn’t work with alcohol, it made things worse. And doesn’t work with drugs, either.
Beating the drug epidemic is going to take a holistic approach.There is no one-fit all solution to the scourge of drugs it has to be a combination of education, good parenting,mental health services, better rehab facilities in our regions & prisons & getting tough on dealers.
Harm minimisation programs such as pill testing and safe injecting rooms & needle exchange programs won’t solve the drug epidemic but they do save lives, they do make the community safer & they minimise the harm to the drug user, their families & the community.

@FrancisFlanner3 Totally agree and I have managed several of them. Both Lab & LNP government funding priorities across Aust have effectively criminalised the consequences of marginalisation & failed to address the causes of offending.

medium.com/@kirstiphillip…
@FrancisFlanner3 This is why our prisons presently warehouse Aboriginal men, women and children as well as the mentally ill.
@FrancisFlanner3 The 1987–91 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody reported that: “The single significant contributing factor to incarceration is the disadvantaged and unequal position of Aboriginal people in Australian society in every way.

When the 68 uprising graffitied Paris with “Be Realistic, Demand the Impossible!” who thought this call to action would meet its alter ego years later in the UK?

For what is Insulate Britain if not: Be Impossible, Demand the Realistic?

🧵A #Thread.
In the face of the #climate emergency happening now, XR recognises the need for disruptive actions that highlight the severity of the crisis. Insulate Britain is playing a vital role in shifting the Overton Window around public awareness and urgent government action. #ActNow
The recent attempt to ban a form of protest from happening anywhere in the UK is a warning to all of us who dare to stand up for truth; the UK government is coming for us all. It is also a complete vindication of our resistance.

#Budget2021 polling: 37% approve of the way the government is handling the economy, down from 41% in March. But this is still higher than the 34% who disapprove (down from 35% in March).
#Budget2021 polling: @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak hold a 15 point lead (40% to 25%) over @Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP on who is best at managing the economy. This is almost unchanged on their 39% to 25% lead in March.
#Budget2021 polling: In every case, more people thought the policies announced were a good idea rather than a bad idea, except for the plan to increase foreign aid back to 0.7%.

Changes to #UniversalCredit in #Budget2021 see the loss of £20 (#KeepTheLifeline) "mitigated" with a reduction in the UC "taper rate" from 63p to 55p.

Let's look at what that means, who that helps and who that hurts.

#poverty #ukpolitics #benefits #UKPoverty #foodbanks

1.
It means that now instead of 63p being deducted from Universal Credit for every £1 earned, only 55p will be. Meaning claimants in work are 8p better off per £1 wages earned.

That offsets that £20 for some. Who though? How many 8p's are needed to reach £20?

2.
It's actually £250 that is needed in wages every month, to offset the £20 cut. Or to put it another way, that's 59h work a month on the apprentice minimum wage, or 29h on the min wage over 23.

At age 23, if you work 7h a week you should be better off with the new rates?

🧱 The built environment represents 40% of U.K emissions, but the #Treasury's approach to the decarbonisation of this sector is an object lesson in how a lack of joined-up thinking is taking us away from our legally-binding #netzero carbon commitments.

A #Budget2021 THREAD! Image
🔨It can take between 10 and 80 years for a new, energy-efficient building to offset the emissions created during the construction process. Image
💷 But the U.K tax system militates against low carbon retrofit and upgrades to existing buildings by levying 20% VAT on renovations, while zero-rating new build homes. This means it often makes more financial sense to demolish and rebuild, rather than preserve and upgrade. Image

🚨 JRF responds to today's Budget #Budget2021 #SpendingReview

@KatieSchmuecker "This is a tale of two Budgets for families on low incomes."

👉jrf.org.uk/press/tale-two… A comment on today's Budget...
.@KatieSchmuecker: "For those in work, the change to the taper rate and work allowance, alongside the National Living Wage increase, are very positive steps, allowing low-paid workers to keep more of what they earn."
.@KatieSchmuecker: "But the reality is that millions of people who are unable to work or looking for work will not benefit from these changes. The Chancellor’s decision to ignore them today as the cost of living rises risks deepening poverty among this group."

Rishi Sunak is believed to be the UK's richest MP. 🧐

He used to work for the US investment bank Goldman Sachs, & his total net worth is estimated to be around £200 million - which would take over 10,000 YEARS to accumulate earning the "living" wage.

#Budget2021
In 2015, a full 25% (1 in 4) of all Tory MPs had an occupational background in finance (compared to just 4% of Labour MPs), & 52% of Tory MPs were privately educated, compared to 12% of Labour MPs (nationally, 6% of children are privately educated).

…nstitutethinktank.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/who-go…
A fifth of all new Tory MPs from 2019 have worked as lobbyists, including for banks, private healthcare & arms manufacturers.

Priti Patel was a corporate lobbyist, & she's lobbied for big tobacco, then as an MP she voted to overturn the smoking ban. 🧐

#Budget2021 starts with a scolding from the Deputy Speaker for pre-briefing the media on details of the budget before it has been presented to the house.
"Let there be no doubt our plan is working" says the Chancellor. We reckon young people, low-income families and not to mention the planet itself would beg to differ. #Budget2021
The Chancellor says we need to strengthen our economy so we're ready for the next crisis.

Presumably we'll be seeing investment in a #GreenNewDeal to tackle the impending climate crisis then Rishi? #Budget2021

@RishiSunak So we start with Paul Askew @Porkyaskew the chef patron at the Art School @ArtSchoolLpool fine dining restaurant. He needs 36 staff, but only has 30. Hiring in UK is massive struggle; prices of ingredients going up. Some days he can't open private dining room, losing £4k /2
@RishiSunak @Porkyaskew @ArtSchoolLpool BUT he says he has not shortage of demand for his £164 tasting menu with wine flight...his quote sums it up:

“The tragedy is that we’ve got all the demand we can handle. And yet just at the time when we need to restore our cash flows, it’s like we’re handcuffed.” /3

It feels to me that @RishiSunak needs some help getting the economy back on track.

Ahead of the autumn #budget2021, I've busted some economic myths he seems to believe...

🧵👇

Myth 1️⃣ : We are well on our way to recovery with the fastest growth in the G7.
Busted: Our economy was one of the worst hit, so we are growing from a low base. The IMF says our economy is still 5% below its pre-pandemic path. & our economy is projected to lag behind all G7 countries in 2024.
Myth 2️⃣: We need to start balancing the books because we can’t afford to borrow any more.

Busted: Our debt level is high, but what matters is the cost of financing this debt. At 6% of tax receipts, the cost of servicing the debt is the second lowest it’s been since WWII.

@TheSocialCTV 12 years is not realistic for a wait list. It's more like 25 years. If your single man or women your bumbed in line for a women with kids

Homeless people are not just drug addicts and shows like yours need to point out the disabled, victims of financial abuse ;+
You also need to discuss the liberal C35 disabled legislation raised by @CQualtro hours before House of Commons shut down for Summer. She, Ford and Trudeau ignored the disabled pleas for help during the pandemic and news organizations ignored our chronic systemic underfunding.
Canada is in violation of the #UNCRPD and the disability benefit was announce because the @UN_HRC is in session this week, but Trudeau has no #budget2021 $ for new benefit only money to study a new benefit for next 3 years. Leaving disabled living at least 45% below poverty line
