It’s a well worn path to inequitable wealth redistribution to the top. </p><p><Quoting from Wikepedia> In 2008, the State Government passed the Water and Sewerage Corporations Act 2008 [4] as a result of a report from the taskforce. The Act transferred council-owned water and sewage assets to three new entities: Southern Water, Ben Lomond Water and Cradle Mountain Water. A fourth entity, Onstream, provided shared services to the corporations, including payroll, billing and procurement. The state's government and the 29 Local Government councils of Tasmania became joint owners of the corporations, with Onstream being jointly owned by the three corporations. These changes took place in July 2009. <end quote></p><p><a href="https://rssfeed.media/@abcfeeds/114905481339309521" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rssfeed.media/@abcfeeds/114905</span><span class="invisible">481339309521</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/TasWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TasWater</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a></p>

RaymondPierreL3<p>I enjoy reading Richard <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Murphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Murphy</span></a> and his economic columns, a kind of English Greg Jericho if you will. An economist with his feet on the ground not afraid to tell it like it is. In this article, you’ll find a good explanation of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MMT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MMT</span></a> (Modern Money Theory) grounded in factual economic activity, unlike the designed <a href="https://aus.social/tags/neoliberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neoliberal</span></a> economic theory supporting runaway corporatism and accumulation of wealth at the top of the social pyramid.</p><p>“…bear with me as I address, for the umpteenth time, this false claim that tax funds the government and why it is wrong.</p><p>The reality is that the UK government (like other currency-issuing governments) creates money every time it spends.

It was authored by Todd Chretien, who serves both on DSA’s Editorial Board as well as Pine & Roses’ Editorial Collective. It was originally published on May 30, 2025.</p><p>What happened? </p><p>"Hundreds of thousands of workers marched and rallied on May Day, making it the largest International Workers Day since 2006 when two million immigrant workers left work and marched to demand their rights. Protests were organized in 1300 locations, large and small; no doubt the first May Day protest in many places. Broadly speaking, there were three different levels of mobilization. First, as in 2006, Chicago stood out with some 30,000 marching, organized by a mass coalition of labor and immigrant rights organizations. Second, cities like Philly, New York, Baltimore, San Francisco, Oakland, Burlington, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandME</span></a> mobilized between two and fifteen thousand. Third, hundreds of cities and towns turned out crowds from a couple dozen to hundreds, including smaller cities like Davis, California. This ranking is not intended as a judgement on the organizers. In fact, some of the smaller rallies included higher percentages of the population than the largest. For instance, in the town of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WayneME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WayneME</span></a> — population 1,000 — seventy-five people turned out for both morning and evening rallies. </p><p>"It’s worth noting that the crowds were not as large as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/April5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>April5</span></a> day of protest initiated by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indivisible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indivisible</span></a>; however, participants were noticeably more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/multiracial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>multiracial</span></a>, younger, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radical</span></a> with widespread support for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransgenderRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransgenderRights</span></a> and opposition to the genocide of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinians</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>. Though an important step in the process of building working-class unity against the billionaires and capitalist class, these efforts have a long way to go. For instance, although multiracial, at the national level, the marches did not entirely reflect working-class diversity. And if immigrant rights organizations were critical in many cities, Trump’s reign of terror against immigrant workers suppressed turnout from this community in many places. </p><p>[...]</p><p>New York City</p><p>"On the day, NYC-DSA turned out some 500 members, many of whom marched with their unions. They did so while keeping up with other work—DSA member <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ZohranMamdani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZohranMamdani</span></a> is running for mayor—with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NYCDSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYCDSA</span></a> labor organizers having advanced a month-long Build to May Day campaign. Organizers called on committees and working groups across the chapter to make May Day a priority, turning out members and volunteer marshalls. The chapter is now in a stronger position to discuss next steps with the broader coalition and consolidate a layer of new members and allies. There’s more pain ahead, but May Day helped gather working-class forces together for action and to take the temperature of the most active and militant layer of trade unionists and community activists. As NYC-DSA Labor Working Group member David Duhalde suggests, 'The New York City May Day rally and march from Foley Square to the iconic Wall Street Bull statue was a microcosm of the shift in energy in labor during Trump’s second term.' How far that shift goes can only be tested in practice.</p><p>[...] </p><p>Portland, Maine</p><p>"Maine DSA’s Labor Rising working group decided to focus on May Day in December, laying the basis to help initiate an organizing meeting open to all community groups and unions. Maine AFL-CIO leaders and UAW graduate students participated in a preliminary meeting to brainstorm ideas, and more than 70 people attended an April 12 meeting in the South Portland Teamsters’ Hall, where the group democratically planned Portland’s May Day. Working groups took up all aspects of the action, and we took all important decisions back to the coalition for votes. Running a long a related track, Maine Education Association and Maine AFL-CIO leaders called for actions across the state, amplifying the Chicago May Day Strong call and dramatically broadening what the Portland coalition could organize. </p><p>"Nearly 2,000 people turned out in Portland, starting with a rally at the University of Southern Maine to back UAW graduate students’ demands for a first contract and then marching to the Post Office to hear from postal workers. Members of the Portland Education Association and a trans student poet headlined the stop at Portland High School and a librarian union rep spoke in Monument Square before the final rally that heard from the president of the Metal Trades Council at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, a rep from the Maine State Nurses Association, members of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineCoalitionForPalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaineCoalitionForPalestine</span></a>, an organizer from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGTBQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGTBQ</span></a>+ community group <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandOutright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandOutright</span></a>, a local immigrant rights group called Presente! Maine, and others. It was a great demonstration and showed the thirst for a broader coalition. Twenty-five other towns held actions, bringing the total number of Maine participants to over 5,000, the largest Maine May Day anyone can remember. </p><p>"It would be shortsighted to overstate the power and stability of this fledgling coalition. Large doses of patience and understanding will be necessary to foster bonds of trust. Sectarian pressures to draw 'red lines' that exclude workers new to political activity and organizations who have various programs and interests represent one danger. A narrow focus on the midterm elections represents another. Fortunately, there’s a lot of room for creativity between those two extremes. </p><p>Long road ahead</p><p>"May Day was the first test of strength for the left and working class against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a>, and forty-plus years of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neoliberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neoliberal</span></a> rot. We face a long, complex problem where political pressures to return to passivity will be strong, but May Day 2025 constitutes a small step towards healing deep wounds in the American working class, the divide between organized and unorganized, immigrant and US born, etc. If brother Fain’s call for 2028 is to grow strong, then 2026 and 2027 must be practice runs. If 2026 and 2027 are to be real demonstrations of strength, they must grow out of tighter bonds between labor, community, and the left, more active membership participation in all of those forces, and a combination of defensive struggles we are forced to fight and battles we pick on our own terms. As Sarah Hurd, co-chair of DSA’s National Labor Commission, spells out, 'This year’s May Day actions showed the power of what we can accomplish just by setting a date and inviting people to take action together. It has also highlighted what work we need to do to scale up our level of organization in the next three years.' </p><p>"What did May Day teach us? Fittingly, the last word goes to Kirsten Roberts, a rank-and-file Chicago teacher, 'The most important element of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MayDay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MayDay2025</span></a> is the explicit entry of organized and unorganized labor into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resistance</span></a> to Trump. Trump’s attacks are aimed directly at dividing the working class and turning ordinary people against one another while the billionaires rob and plunder us all. An agenda for working class unity can be built when we stand up for those most victimized and vilified by the right-wing bigots AND when we stand together to fight for the things that the billionaire class has denied us—the fight for healthcare, education, housing, and good-paying jobs for starters.
