@AusPoll6 Not a serious distribution. Katter is not going to lose to One Nation, and neither are 5 independents.

🚨 NEW: One Nation would win around 52 seats in the House of Representatives while the Coalition would fall to just NINE, according to an MRP model released today by DemosAU

@RogerPielkeJr It just repeats his almost perfect record for being wrong. That's not science, that's publishing.

This from Paul Ehrlich will make you think "If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor." Link in reply

This is definitely a "no brainer" as in, if you had brains you would not do it. They want to double capital gains tax because the government would have more money, so why not double GST, income tax, payroll tax, petrol excise etc? There's plenty of taxes where you could charge more.

@honeymoon250 No, I never recorded from the radio. No Walkman either.

6 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?

@catskipants @DavidPocock How do you get more home owners by making it harder for renters to save?

@GrahamY @DavidPocock Renters are being priced out of the market. There should be fewer renters that's the whole point. More homeowners less renters.

I've been pushing for the capital gains tax discount to be reduced to 25% & tied to new homes only. This will help incentivise new supply which has flow-on benefits for ppl renting & makes it easier for first homebuyers. We should also cap negative gearing to 1 property & reinvest revenue not foregone in new social & affordable homes. These measures won't solve affordability on their own but will help, and they send a signal that 🇦🇺 wants housing to be accessible and affordable, not primarily an asset class for wealth creation. theguardian.com/australia-news… @GuardianAus @TomMcIlroy

@SandraEckersley @cocoajunction Storyteller you mean.

@GrahamY @cocoajunction Production Manager on multiple multi million dollar projects.

Barnaby Joyce now wears a SK cowboy hat which is made by a company owned by Gina Rinehart. He’s now totally owned. #auspol

@inabsentia8 @hoyzen @MikeKellyofEM So what? Cherrypicking a couple of qualifications doesn't delegitimise the reports findings but calls into question your motives.

@hoyzen @MikeKellyofEM @GrahamY It also says this

I am reluctant to engage in some sort of pile on of you Grace Tame but I simply offer this response to your opinion that the sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on 7 October was “debunked”. I will counter whatever information you are relying on by referring you to the official report of the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms Pramila Patten. She actually travelled to Israel to carefully investigate these matters. She viewed 5,000 photographic images and some 50 hours of footage of the attacks. She stated in her findings that: “What I witnessed in Israel were scenes of unspeakable violence perpetrated with shocking brutality,..It was a catalogue of the most extreme and inhumane forms of killing, torture and other horrors…including sexual violence.” Since then we have the detailed Dinah Report which you can read here thedinahproject.org/wp-content/upl…. All this led to the UN including Hamas on the U.N. “blacklist” of organizations “being responsible for patterns of rape or other forms of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict” on 14 August 2025. There are also many video testimonies of survivors you can check out if you are interested. Enough evidence for you to “believe her”.

@SandraEckersley @cocoajunction You don't think productivity decreasing by two-thirds might also be a factor, particularly as a cause of labour shortages? If your workforce is only working a third of what they used to you need three times as many workers to get the work done.

@GrahamY @cocoajunction QLD construction costs have surged by over 32% since 2020 due to "perfect storm" of high demand, severe labour shortages & soaring material prices. Factors include supply chain disruptions, post-pandemic demand spikes, natural disasters & massive pipeline of public infrastructure

@SandraEckersley @cocoajunction I was a full-time developer for 20 years. Tell me your qualifications.

@GrahamY @cocoajunction Ever been to a building site? You sound like you never have.

@SandraEckersley @cocoajunction The proof is in their productivity. Construction workers produce half today what they did 25 years ago and only a third of what they did 14 years ago. Not just bludgers, but lazy bludgers.

@GrahamY @cocoajunction So you think 144,000 construction ‘workers’ represented by their Union, the CFMEU, are just ‘bludgers’?

The Big Australian is leaving home as Australian governments make mining here extremely difficult. No mining, no welfare state.

@SandraEckersley @cocoajunction "Workers" is one way of describing them. Building projects are lucky to get 3 days worth of work out of them a week. Bludgers who are pushing up the price of all construction including housing. One of the reasons our productivity is going backwards.

@GrahamY @cocoajunction The CFMEU represents 144,000 working Australians. 1% of workers. Corrupt management doesn’t negate worker representation.

@SandraEckersley @cocoajunction Albo accepted their donations for years, and closed down the ABCC which regularly uncovered their lawlessness and got convictions. So yeah, sure. The Australian Labor Party is hopelessly corrupt.

@cocoajunction Albanese famously clashed with the CFMEU and Allen is running the inquiry that revealed their rorting. So there’s that.

You really don't know what you are talking about or you would say anything to advance your agenda, no matter how dishonest. "Sexual violence was widespread and systematic during the October 7 attack, occurring across at least six different locations: the Nova music festival, Route 232, Nahal Oz military base, and Kibbutzim Re'im, Nir Oz, and Kfar Aza." thedinahproject.org/wp-content/upl…

The biggest investigation by Israel found there was no medical, forensic, photographic or digital evidence of sexual violence committed by Hamas on 7 October 2023. Therefore, claims of "well documented sexual violence on October 7" are debunked propaganda, Kev. Suck it up.

@MikeKellyofEM "Debunked" is a verb that means you don't want to accept the truth and you've found at least one other person who says it's not true. No one concerned about the truth would use that word in the first place.

@JulianHillMP How much is gross debt, including all that off-balance-sheet spending?

Inflation is still too high, but it’s much lower and the Budget is in much better shape than under the Liberals. #auspol

@CameronQland That's my guess, yes. Except it won't need to be propped-up as it will have a commanding majority.

@GrahamY We know what happens, don't we Graham? It will be Queensland 1998. A labor government propped up by the imploding, incompetent One Nation.

Looks like One Nation might be playing in the big league after this Saturday's South Australian election. Vote has held steadily above the Libs, while they slowly decline. Biggest challenge might not be coming second, but what you do with that.

The USA was close to being a banana republic under the Democrats.
