Hanson: “Where’s The White Friday Sale?”
Australian Senator and part-time reality TV contestant, Pauline Hanson, has demanded to know why there is no white Friday sales.
”How dare the whites be discriminated against! Screeched Pauline, ”There’s black Friday sales and even EOFYS sales, but us whites are left to fend for ourselves.”
”It’s just not right, what even is EOFYS anyway, some middle-eastern thing no doubt.”
When it was explained that EOFYS stood for end of year financial sale, Senator Hanson said: ”Well how are people meant to know that.”
”For too long the people who voted for me have been discriminated against, I mean expecting them to be able to spell.”
”I have had a gutful of this Albanese Government and will now be off to raise funds to fight it and if I have enough left over I might just go and take a cruise.”
”Want to buy some gin?”

The IMF is hurting countries it claims to help | Mark Weisbrot
The fund’s loan agreement with Ecuador will worsen unemployment and poverty
When people think of the damage that wealthy countries – typically led by the US and its allies – cause to people in the rest of the world, they probably think of warfare. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died from the 2003 invasion, and then many more as the region became inflamed.
But rich countries also have considerable power over the lives of billions of people through their control over institutions of global governance. One of these is the International Monetary Fund. It has 189 member countries, but the US and its rich-country allies have a solid majority of the votes. The head of the IMF is by custom a European, and the US has enough votes to veto many major decisions by itself – although the rich countries almost never vote against each other.
