After yelling at the tv, the memes have made it all ok

Also cheap sheets thumb tacked across the windows to ‘look like’ curtains

New data shows advertised job roles are offering higher salaries to entice people in, but what does that mean for those already employed and hoping for a pay rise? We ask @melbrowne_ how to best ask for that extra cash and whether now is a good time to ask mamamia.com.au/podcasts/the-q…

There are some smart things you can be doing now, both to protect your finances and to give them a nudge forward. Thanks to @melbrowne_ for sharing her tips in this story. shedefined.com.au/career/money/5… #shedefined #money #finances

Claiming RAT's and PPE, declaring pandemic payments & why crypto is on the @ato_gov_au radar, @melbrowne_ breaks down your tax return questions for the 2021/22 financial year mamamia.com.au/podcasts/the-q…

Absolutely agree. The system is broken. Families want places but we can’t find workers & meanwhile ratios mean we have to turn away families.

Cannot wait for this event! #roadtrip

The man who just said how supportive he is of women just told a female journo to ‘settle’ when she tried to ask him a question @ScottMorrisonMP

Cheat sheet for politicians today -RBA cash rate: 0.10% -Unemployment rate*: 4.0% -Australian cricket captains: Pat Cummins, Meg Lanning -Sharks d/ Tigers 30-4, Bunnies d/ Dragons 24-12 -Coal price: $291USD/T -Petrol price: ~$1.90/l -CO2 in the atmosphere: 419.17 ppm

Every borrower agreed to the value of their loan & was told the change in repayments in the event of interest rates being 2.5 or 3% higher. Barring a shock like loss of employment almost no one should be under financial pressure till the cash rate hits 2.5%, less than mkt pricing

Fun fact - the vast majority of outstanding mortgage balances are well under $500,000

@MattPer22507268 May seem unlikely, but it’s true. I’ve found there is a sea of sameness in politics but have become angry enough these past couple of years to march to the ballot box. I know who I’m NOT voting for - the next question however is who to vote for. That’s not quite so obvious…

@melbrowne_ Highly unlikely you have ever been a swinging voter

As a swinging voter, Jen has definitely influenced me firmly NOT to vote liberal. To say she’s disappointed that a sexual assault victim wasn’t polite. I just can’t even. Fuck no Jen. Polite enough? #60minutes

It’s so subtle isn’t it, having Jenny tell us it’s about manners, so that we think Grace Tame is the problem, the uncivilised one. Yet Grace is the hero of this story & Morrison it’s villain. No amount of spin changes this. One stands for truth, the other bereft of it #60minutes

I wonder if Mr Morrison prays for falling real wages? Eight budget deficits actual and 10 more prospective? $1.2 trillion government debt? Historical low private sector business investment? A near record tax burden? Weak productivity? If so, his prayers have been answered.
