Raising Jobseeker to $80 per day—in line with the Raise the Rate campaign—and indexing it to keep up with wages would cost $9.5 billion per year.

This a fraction of the cost of superannuation tax concessions ($50 billion per year) or the Capital Gains Tax discount ($15 billion), both of which mainly benefit the richest Australians.

The Australia Institute · Jobseeker payments are too lowNo-one in Australia should have to live on $56 a day. The current Jobseeker payment is inadequate by every metric, and the majority of families that rely on it live below the poverty line.

How #NativeHawaiians Have Fought for #Sovereignty

Ever since the US overthrew the #Hawaiian monarchy in an illegal #coup, Native islanders responded with #protest, #activism and expressions of #cultural pride.

"Ever since white Christian #missionaries first arrived in Hawaii (Native spelling: Hawai‘i) in the 1820s, the islands’ Native people have found their sovereignty, culture and way of life under increasing threat. For two centuries, many have resisted.

"The threats began early. By 1840, some scholars estimate, the Native Hawaiian population had plummeted by as much as 84 percent, largely due to diseases introduced by Western #colonizers. In 1893, an illegal coup, orchestrated by a handful of white planters [#Dole] and #businessmen, ousted the sovereign Hawaiian monarchy. Five years later, the United States annexed Hawaii, viewing the islands as both a rich agricultural resource and a strategic perch in the Pacific.

"And in 1959, the U.S. legislature voted to make Hawaii America’s 50th state. During that time, colonizers confiscated lands and #militarized parts of the island. They suppressed traditional cultural and #spiritual practices. And they banned the Hawaiian language in schools and government.

"Native Hawaiians have responded with protest, activism and expressions of Indigenous cultural pride. In the 1880s, #KingDavidKalākaua kindled nationalism and promoted Hawaii internationally as an independent sovereign kingdom. He also fostered what came to be known as the First Hawaiian Renaissance, reviving traditional cultural practices like hula dancing, an integral part of Native Hawaiian storytelling—and outlawed since 1830, largely because missionaries did not understand its cultural importance and viewed it as a pagan ritual. The Second Hawaiian Renaissance flourished in the 1960s and ’70s. Today, Native #HawaiianSovereignty remains a critical issue, informing contemporary protests against militarism, imperialism and occupation.

"'Resistance and nationalism have been intertwined throughout the last two hundred years of the history of Hawaii,' writes Noenoe Silva, a scholar of Indigenous politics at the University of Hawaii and author of Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian #Resistance to American #Colonialism."

Gestern, auf dem Weg nach #Dole. Wie üblich an Tag3 die ersten Durchhänger. Mit "nur" 75 Kilometern kommen wir trotzdem auf die sehr beachtliche Distanz von 295km und können das Meer ja schon _fast_ riechen ;))
In Dolen empfängt unsbein leider verschlossenes
#fahrradmuseum. Trotzdem ein spannender Blick durch die Fenster! Mit Rädern des hiesigen Herstellers #Onoto.

No increase to base jobseeker rate in budget means Centrelink payment remains below poverty line
theguardian.com/news/ng-intera

This latest federal budget offers little hope to unemployed people. Again, the government's safety-net is not enough for people left without work by the sad state of the economy. They should raise the dole until it's over the poverty line. Or, even better, offer a real fix in the form of a universal basic income.

Ghostsigns (Sam Roberts)

This is the second photo from Dole, France, sent to me by Ian Dennis; 1/2 above this post. It's instantly recognisable as a fragment of the logotype for Cinzano, but again I don't have any more precise location details.

You can enjoy some more French Cinzano ghost signs here: elve.net/padv/en/liqmart.htm#c.

(While it's wonderful that this site endures, I fear that one day I'll go to it and discover that it's all gone: elve.net/padv/en/home.htm).

Photo framed in white that is cropped to show just the first few letters of the Cinzano logotype in fading painted letters on a stone wall.
