@EvanCranston @three3knots If they rely on tax deductions to be successful and stay in Australia then they are welcome to leave

@three3knots I’ll simplify it for you.
If 60% of your revenue ceases and you have the same expenses you go broke very quickly.
There is no scenario where the government can replace this revenue because the rest of Australia don’t pay anywhere near enough tax to cover the loss

What happens if those 0.2% tax filers leave Australia?
Jim Chalmers MP@JEChalmers
Analysis from Treasury of new ATO data for 2023-24 shows that 0.2% of tax filers earned around 60% of all the net capital gains income, while 99% of tax filers earned only 13%. We are making the tax system fairer for workers, first home buyers and young Australians.

@sandylanceley @thmsenglsh @MrNew_Vegas_ That's being very generous.
House prices were growing when we had zero migration.
Victoria has had the lowest growth in house prices and rents despite having the highest population growth. They also tax their landlords alot more than any other state
English
@RedAnton3 @thmsenglsh @MrNew_Vegas_ There’s no single reason housing costs are very high in Australia, it’s a multifaceted area.
I support removing negative gearing, but it’s probably only responsible for 2-3% of costs. There’s a lot more to it and immigration is a factor.
English
It’s hilarious to me how narrow minded academic thinking can be.
Average person does *not* think of population growth as a year on year percentage, they think about the cumulative growth over time.
They’ve seen a lot of growth over decades and want it slowed considerably.
Stephen Koukoulas@TheKouk
For those frothng about population growth, here are the last 20 years of Australia's population growth by year: 2006 1.6% 2007 1.9% 2008 2.2% 2009 1.8% 2010 1.4% 2011 1.6% 2012 1.8% 2013 1.6% 2014 1.5% 2015 1.5% 2016 1.7% 2017 1.5% 2018 1.6% 2019 1.5% 2020 0.4% 2021 0.6% 2022 2.1% 2023 2.4% 2024 1.6% 2025 1.5% 2026 1.5%

@sandylanceley @thmsenglsh @MrNew_Vegas_ We are blaming immigration for the rise in housing rather than tax deductions which have led to their astronomic growth. Once again this is being manufactured
English
@thmsenglsh @MrNew_Vegas_ @RedAnton3 I think there’s a cumulative effect to peoples views on it. We’ve got to the point where housing is so unaffordable people are pissed off.
And indeed the polls show a rise in people wanting lower immigration, not just a rise in ON.
English
@sandylanceley We have had much higher rates of immigration in the past, yet no backlash.
English
@RedAnton3 You’re not giving people enough credit. Australia has had the most immigration this century of almost any western country (as a per capita percentage), we also have the most international students of any western country per capita. People can feel that.
English
@sandylanceley @MrNew_Vegas_ Its blown out primarily due to media and vested interest influence.
There is a government that is threatening capital, so the easiest way to topple them is to focus on divisive commentary on immigration
English
@MrNew_Vegas_ @RedAnton3 Well I guess it’s attitudes like yours that got us in this position. Running high immigration for decades whilst ignoring public sentiment was always going to blow up eventually, here we are.
English
@zoecabina @jihaddibmp God damn you guys are such weak snowflakes.
Cant even take the mildest criticism, kinda tired of the woke right
English
Dear Tripoli-born politician @jihaddibmp, making fun of Anglo-Celtic Australians, who make up over half the population of this country your parents chose to move to, and were the people who predominantly built this beautiful nation of modern Australia, is not a smart move.
You are proving exactly why so many people are voting One Nation, and no, not just white Australians, but Australians of all backgrounds, for example, the Assyrian tradesmen working at my house today.
If you can say white Australia is boring, white bread, cultureless-- may I make some statements about the Lebanese-Muslim community of Australia? Because I'd prefer boring food over organised crime and sharia law any day. Thank you.

@thamoonman_ Why do I feel like alot of the time these posts are exaggerated to help victimise people
English
key takeaway from this post is that the Author is upset that his family has terrible dinner conversation etiquette. how about a compromise; tell your daughter not to talk politics at dinner & in return Australia gets to keep a functional government full of competent people
Sparky777@Potstirrer111
Occasionally there’s some very good takes on Reddit
English
@Potstirrer111 @Pom_Bazooka Yep, and alot of that support has been primarily due to a concerted online campaign by vested interests
English
@Pom_Bazooka One nation polled 5% a year ago and 32% now. You think 27% of voters decided they hate migrants in the last year?
English
We’re not blaming migrants we blame migration policy fuck stick
Andrew Leigh@ALeighMP
One Nation say they like straight talk. So here it is: if you ban journalists, blame migrants and vote against workers, you’re not offering courage. You’re offering chaos. #auspol
English
@Potstirrer111 This keeps overlooking the fact that there is a massive media campaign to keep pushing that "fear" and "division" narrative funded for by One Nations handlers
English
@BWJacksonX Because its pointing out the hypocrisy.
Critics of multiculturalism want to enjoy the fruits of it, but don't want them living next to them or those people having their own distinct culture.
English
Senator Hanson attacks multiculturalism & about 90% of the outraged responses focus on food.
Advocates of mass immigration seem unable to cite any other benefits of importing foreign cultures.
Why no mention of African films? Indian poetry? Arab music? Chinese paintings?
Odd.
English
@nobodyatallbros @BWJacksonX @deemadigan How many of those 700,000 are actually able to work?
How many of them have the skills to fill the shortages in certain sectors? How many of them are located at where the work is needed?
English
@RedAnton3 @BWJacksonX @deemadigan We have 700,000 unemployed people and I'm sure some of them can fill those jobs if they will pay an acceptable amount.

The party of ‘Aussie jobs for Aussies’ is funded by the billionaire who said Aussies should work for $2 a day, and is now outsourcing its own work to the Philippines.

@Camoscott1234 @JarrydBartle People are attracted to Hanson simply because of traditional media influence and a well funded social media campaign
English
@JarrydBartle 100% it's backfired. I really think Labor and the left doesn't understand why people are attracted to her.
English
This whole stunt was so policy wonk brained.
They think the public narrative is going to be "Hanson voted this way on workers' rights" and not "left wing activist group illegally sabotages Hanson's speech".

@Potstirrer111 Reforming CGT and removing negative gearing is one of the biggest things the government could do and has done to slow down rent rises
English
I recon posts like this just drives the one nation vote. Imagine getting an email that your rent is going up 7% like it has every year since Covid then you log into socials and see this shit instead of the PM trying to do something about it.
Anthony Albanese@AlboMP
Diversity is a strength of modern Australia. And no matter what language you speak, or faith you practice - every Australian deserves to feel safe, respected and valued. Great to talk with locals in South East Melbourne today.

@Holly_Da @PressClubAust How soft and woke are you guys?

@PressClubAust A disgrace that this happened, particularly within the Parliamentary precinct.

National Press Club Statement RE: Banner incident at the Address by Senator Pauline Hanson today.
English
@nobodyatallbros @BWJacksonX @deemadigan The problem is that alot of these jobs can't be filled because there aren't enough people
English
@RedAnton3 @BWJacksonX @deemadigan "And other jobs others won't." would be the clinch. Australians are willing to work any job if you pay them enough for them to live off it. To claim otherwise is to lie.
English
@i_borborygmi @RebelNews_AU Neither labor or liberal party branches have gag orders, or centrally managed gag orders unlike One Nation. I would suggest you look into these things before commenting.
We know about the fundraisers through the Guardian, the news organisation that Hanson has banned
English
@RedAnton3 @RebelNews_AU As for gag orders? Branches have gag orders all the time. This is not new, nor unique to One Nation.
How do you know she's using taxpayer funds for fundraising? Clearly public knowledge.
English
Pauline Hanson is just Donald Trump with a worse jet arrangement.
This is beyond embarrassing. #NPC
English
@i_borborygmi @RebelNews_AU Labor and the Liberals have not banned any media organisations. RebelNews havent been banned from press conferences.
So Hanson is alone there in limiting criticism.
Any conversation that the richest person has with a politician should be public knowledge, do you disagree?
English
@RedAnton3 Are the conversations any stakeholder has with political parties, public knowledge?
Without a doubt, Labor and Liberals ban media organisations from attending press conferences, too (straight away I can guarantee that @RebelNews_AU would be one of them.)
English
@i_borborygmi Except it isnt, the conversations that Hanson has with Rinehart arent public knowledge.
She bans media organisations from attending her press conferences, branches have gag orders in place and she uses taxpayer funds to pay for fundraising tours.
English
@RedAnton3 "What other politician is claiming to be advised by a billionaire and has had planes gifted to them?"
I would definitely call that transparent.
English
@i_borborygmi There is no evidence for that figure, that number was even removed before the report was published.
What other politician is claiming to be advised by a billionaire and has had planes gifted to them?
Seriously its no comparison, Hanson is a stooge
English
@RedAnton3 @aaronsmith Biggest stooge? Who lost $15B - BILLION - of taxpayer monies to union thugs?
