If you want to increase your wealth, reframe your objective.
Too many people want to 'pay less tax'.
Instead, we should want to 'maximise our after-tax wealth'.
It's not the same thing.
I'd rather pay $100 tax and end up with $500 than pay $10 tax and end up with $100.
@TMFScottP Your party needs to sort it's self out and decide what it represents, you are not going to gain followers moving right, and by doing that you will lose the followers you have. At this rate, Dutton has already won!
Labor has promised $2b for green aluminium.
LNP has promised (uncosted) tax-deductible lunches.
Neither has outlined how these will be paid for - what offsetting tax revenue, spending cuts, or borrowing it'll rely on.
We deserve to know. And they should commit to it.

Whether you agree with the executive orders signed by the current or last president when in office, those powers are a huge reason we should never have a president with executive powers in Australia.
Trump's speech raises the old question: Is he evil or merely stupid? #x26;pm_medium=rss&pm_source=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dailykos.com/story/2025/1/2…
@_SocialDemocrat@abcnews To be fair, they are trying to stay afloat in a stormy political sea, among the calls to defund it completely, and the right currently has way more power & sway than the left.
ABC cuts from an Albanese presser to go to Trump. Surely international interference on home soil is much more important than anything that felon has to say? #auspol@abcnews
@katea76 I am dismayed at his support of banning all cheese, unless it is in block format. When asked about it, he stated he wanted to make "Australia grate again"
@Dac3064David Today’s LNP is far from far right. Not that I’m voting for them, but you’re attempting to place stigma using the term far right and it’s kinda sad.
Australia, are you getting excited our federal election is just around the corner?
Are you going to change the political landscape in Australia with your vote?
It is now ILLEGAL for social media companies, Facebook and X, to remove (non-illegal) content - even if it offends the government.
What now for Australia's eSafety Commission?
Their takedown orders are entirely unenforceable.
Their entire department is defunct.
So, turns out, through all their hate campaign and misinformation against biologists,
Trump can't define a woman either.
Being a bigot is hard when you are forced to science
If you're one of the 900,000 young people voting for the first time this election, know that Peter Dutton and the Coalition have never prioritised climate change and oppose Labor's 2030 CO2 reduction targets.

@gregthompsonjr@TheGreatCoder@davepl1968 This is a great reminder to programmers to make sure they understand how a "simple" comparison isn't always that simple. It's one I sometimes forget about as well, till the head-scratching and facepalm eventuates.
@TheGreatCoder@davepl1968 I already wrote that…

“…x be cast to (unsigned int)… making x 10…”
@buuuhler@BarackObama lol, so says the Trump worshipper,
Matthew 7:3 (KJV) And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
Followers of Barack Obama, you are worshiping a false idol.
Repent of your idolatry and worship the Lord God Jesus of Nazareth.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Cecile Richards dedicated her life to protecting and expanding women’s rights. She never wavered in her commitment to ensuring that women had access to the reproductive health care they needed, and her leadership at Planned Parenthood led to the inclusion of important healthcare provisions in the Affordable Care Act.
Women of all ages knew they could count on Cecile, and Michelle and I will always be grateful for her advocacy. We send all our love to Kirk, Lily, Hannah, Daniel, and all those who loved and admired her.
