Richard Denniss: Huge profits are driving inflation – not low-paid workers

Scott Free But Still In Chains
The unbridled joy that comes with knowing we will never again have to deal with the entity formerly known as Prime Minister Scott Morrison is leavened by the fact that we had to put up with him in the first place. Not just put up with him but act as if the destruction he was wreaking was somehow invisible.
