Jobs! jobs! jobs! - IN THE DEATH INDUSTRY

Quite suddenly, any vestige of Australia being an independent country has disappeared overnight.

An entire continent has been handed over to the American military machine, by Australia's cowardly and self-serving politicians.

And the Australian media exultantly choruses " Jobs! Jobs ! Jobs! "

I have often wondered why that chorus is repeated endlessly - in awed, religious, joy?

If you work in a caring industry, or in nurturing animals, plants, the environment, in growing food or in one of the many jobs that support life - you can derive some pride in your work. It's good to be paid some money, but it's especially good to be able to derive some dignity, self-respect, genuine joy, in knowing that you are genuinely contributing to well-being - to the common good.

It's a matter of integrity - dare I mention this? - some spiritual satisfaction. You can hold your head up high.

Where is the integrity in making killing machines, things for massacring thousands of people, destroying the land and animals?

And just to make sure that the Americans really mean it, we have the odious Antony Blinken now emphasising that the USA will certainly punish our courageous Australian truth-teller Julian Assange.

PM Albanese, and wimp Foreign Minister Penny Wong just kow tow and agree!
