"All
billionaires want the same thing – a world that works for them. For
many, this means a world in which they are scarcely taxed and
scarcely regulated; where labour is cheap and the planet can be used
as a dustbin; where they can flit between tax havens and secrecy
regimes, using the Earth’s surface as a speculative gaming board,
extracting profits and dumping costs. The world that works for them
works against us.” [Journalist

"Scott
Morrison loves “quiet Australians”. The Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison
government especially loves quiet charities, quiet scientists, quiet
environmentalists, quiet journalists, quiet human rights
commissioners, quiet workers in quiet unions and a quiet public
broadcaster. It will burn for anyone who stays quiet – and threaten
to burn down anyone who raises their voice.” [Pastor
