Commercial television is trash. Swimming with sharks is not what I call entertainment
What happened to shows like - A Country Practice or Water Rats
Even….Let The Blood Run Free is better than the stuff we’re subjected to these days
Thank God for music
@Monkeys_nuts85@TruthFairy131 Yeah I’m not sure, we just stayed in the city for a week and then down Wollongong which was
A lot better than the cbd. But any touristy stuff we did was like we were the out of
Towners. My kids hated it
In Sydney, soon you will be charged for using PARKS that were built using YOUR tax money because the government mass imported so many people, everything is too overcrowded.
New Modern Australia 💰☠️
This is the most important and ambitious Budget in decades.
Important because the world is throwing a lot at us – and this Budget is about helping Australia deal with these challenges.
And ambitious because we have so much going for us – and this Budget is about Australia seizing those opportunities.
This Budget is ambitious in the face of adversity.
It’s a responsible Budget, and a reforming Budget, which builds resilience and bolsters our economy.
There is more cost of living relief, more Medicare and more aged care, and more housing.
It makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations –
Responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities.
We are responding to the biggest oil shock in history with a comprehensive $14.8 billion plan to secure more fuel, strengthen our supply chains, build resilience, and take the sting out of prices.
Immediate relief from the fuel crisis is coupled with lasting and responsible cost of living measures.
Tonight, we are proud to be delivering another round of ongoing tax cuts for Australian workers.
We will put more money into the pockets of 13.3 million workers with a new $250 Working Australians Tax Offset.
It will begin from the second half of 2027 and be paid each year, ongoing and automatically in your tax return just like the instant deduction we’re rolling out as well.
The $6.4 billion tax offset is the biggest cost of living measure in this Budget –
But it’s not all we’re doing to support families under pressure.
As a Labor government, we will always invest in Medicare, cheaper medicines and public health so Australians get the care they need, when they need it.
Australia’s longstanding housing shortage is making homes unaffordable.
This challenge hits young workers and families hard and we’re addressing it from every responsible angle.
The reforms in this Budget will lift our total investment in housing to a record $47 billion.
We’re levelling the playing field for first home buyers with 5 per cent deposits and tax reform to help more young Australians into their own home.
These housing reforms go to the core of our Budget strategy.
Dealing with the very real pressures on people right now –
While taking responsibility for the challenges facing the next generations.
The challenges coming at us, the opportunities ahead of us and the better future that Australians deserve, will not wait for a time when all is quiet in the world.
That’s why this Budget invests in resilience and reform, to grow our economy the right way and lift living standards over time.
This productivity package will help us attract and absorb more investment, make it easier and quicker to build, and slash compliance costs.
This Budget includes the most significant tax reform package in more than a quarter of a century.
This is about tax relief and tax reform to make our economy work for more Australians, businesses and future generations.
We’re delivering a fairer tax system for workers, first home buyers and young people.
We’re building a better tax system for businesses, with over $3.5 billion in new measures that lower taxes, to encourage investment and innovation.
Our tax reforms will help workers, create a fairer housing market, and drive more productive investment across our economy.
Debt is lower and the budget position is stronger in every year of the medium term because of our savings.
The medium-term budget position is much stronger and more sustainable as a consequence, creating more room for future tax relief.
Against a backdrop of global uncertainty, this Budget invests in Australia’s resilience, economic sovereignty and national security.
At a time when Australians are under pressure, this Budget delivers more help with the cost of living and new tax cuts for workers.
And in an era where people feel like the system no longer works for them, this Budget doesn’t just acknowledge that – it acts on it.
No other budget in the 2000s has set out this much responsible Budget repair and this much economic reform.
These are difficult decisions to ensure a stronger bottom line every year, to give us greater insurance in uncertain times.
At the same time as we build a more resilient, productive and competitive economy.
This is a strategy which helps shield people from the harshest consequences of a global oil crisis –
Stabilises our economy and our Budget at a time of extreme uncertainty and volatility in the world –
And strengthens Australia for the next shock.
Tonight, we choose the hard road of reform, not the path of least resistance.
By responding to the pressures Australians confront today.
And fulfilling our obligations and responsibilities to the generations to come.
The Bulldog hey
I think they’ve invested too heavily in ready made players and the personnel they have around them, aren’t at a high enough level
They tried to do a Penrith but with shortcuts
Pathways would want to be pretty damn good right now
You ain’t us…just saying
@SnoogThe@NRL 100%, because while PNG are going to be signing multiple marquee players they will be weakening existing teams so everything that’s been built in these years leading up too it is just going to get thrown out the window. We can’t blame the players
Dear @NRL
Do you think people will happily accept that 18 teams have to abide by the same rules, and the 19th team essentially has a wage bill that is twice everyone else
What leg will you have to stand on, the next time a Aussie team cheats the SC
How is this a fair league?
@AofahKoff I do exactly the same. It’s every man for themselves out there now and I have machinery so when I run out of diesel my family doesn’t get fed.
Well that’s more like it. 18-0 up at halftime over the Broncos at home.
Broncos look like a team whose pre-season was disrupted by unnecessary bullshit.
