Making the Aussie Banksters Pay: A Victory to The Little People

Ever since the Commonwealth Bank of Australia was privatised in the 1990s, Australians have lived increasingly under a bankers’ dictatorship. The Banking Royal Commission in 2019 revealed shocking abuses by the banking industry. This included charging customers for as much as a billion dollars for services that were never delivered. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

COPYWRITING, TRANSLATIONS AND GHOST-WRITING

Professional writing services are not something many business owners use despite their importance to their shops, hotels, restaurants, their business.

A Tribute to True Masculinity

Imagine being a female and thinking that masculinity is toxic instead of literally being the sexiest, most mesmerizing, comforting thing you’ve ever come across in your life, and being aware of an instinctive primal level it is why you exist. Modern woman, you’ve broken in so many pieces.

No end to the unemployment curve

The first wave of the Covid pandemic eliminated over six million jobs across the EU, particularly impacting sectors dominated by temporary contractors, young people and female employees, according to a study conducted by an EU agency. However, this figure is not inclusive and could be double the 6 million claimed.
