@TMFScottP Agreed. We have the playbook US & UK. Go too far 1 way & you get push back. People feel insecure in jobs, housing & financially but are ignored by those in power. Extremes take advantage of that & say they are different & fix things. They rise from economic & social upheaval.

@sunflow15685280 We move to Australia 😁. Actually, it helps our houses, building & clothing are built for. Here in Aus, it always feels worse b/c our houses are designed - ny flat gets cold and gets mouldy as soon as the temp drops. It's often warmer outside than in.

Was raining most of last week. Will continue to rain most of next week. Genuine question, how do peeps cope in mostly cold, bleak & sunless countries? ... I get melancholic & unmotivated 😞 #SAD (seasonal affective disorder)

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against. Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities. Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?

@Baumann_Mac @karlstefanovic He probably wants to do an "Trump", a calebrity who becomes a politician or Australian's answer to "Joe Rogan" by going Right and the Right Wing rentagobs get more publicity in Australia.

Another night, another firebombing. Victoria is no longer safe says Jess Wilson, Victorian Leader of the Opposition. Tonight, Jess and Shane Prior, Queensland Police Union President, join Karl to confront Australia’s growing youth crime crisis. Tune in tonight, 5pm.

@Ausbobsmit Yeah cos what this Nation really needs is more low quality imported US & moronic reality tv shows interspersed with gambling, car & booze ads every 30 seconds! One Nation...you don't have to be a complete moron to vote for them but if you do, you are!

@TimWilsonMP How many millions qas it again that your boss fiddled from the taxpayer for water, thru a series of trusts & corporations? That's why you are up in arms, you lot might not be able to get your snouts as deep in the public trough as you once could.

Small and family businesses, the self-starters of our country, are being hit by new taxes Australians didn’t vote for. We will oppose these taxes, along with the housing tax, and repeal them. Tell us your story at notthetax.com.au

@HonTonyAbbott Condeming the very system you've made a nice little earner from. Why don't you just fuck off quietly into retirement? An appallingly Prime Minister & an appallingly misogynistic man. Go shirt-front Putin & he'll do us all a favour & shut you up permanently.

Finally both parties are showing their real colours after a decade when they mostly tried to be a slightly more attractive version of the other side, with the Coalition just a little less enthusiastic than Labor for big government, climate action, and mass migration. By committing a future Coalition government to ending bracket creep, taxation by stealth, Taylor has made the next election wealth creation versus wealth redistribution and pitched the Liberals as the party of aspiration versus the party of resentment. Higher taxes on property and heavier taxes on wealth creation are not just broken promises with no redeeming policy feature. They're an assault on the Australian dream that people who strive to get ahead should not be punished for their efforts and that people who 'have a go' should get a 'fair go' from government.

@gamstjones12 Yes please!

Mark robins please #Rovers

@TheKouk I wouldn't worry about what Matt Barrie thinks. He makes his money from Australian companies being able to give work to offshore professionals who can undercut onshore-based resources, then claims to care about Australians.

I took Matt Barrie's advice: Bought a Powerball ticket ... and he is correct! I spent $56.60 on a Powerball ticket & got back $14.60 - a loss of only 74% If I had bought shares in Freelancer - his company - in 2015, I would have lost 95% of my money. Massive out-performance from Powerball!

@lttlefoot @mightgetthere @VinniesAust 😂😂 Course he did champ. We base our religions on books written millenia ago, at least decades after the events that have been translated, mis-translated & edited for political reasons. Yet too many of the "believers" don't believe in modern day science! ALL religion is bollocks

@AJG71 @mightgetthere @VinniesAust He rose from the dead

Housing should be a home first, not a way to build wealth. Reforming negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount is a strong start, but the revenue must be reinvested in social and affordable housing and adequate income support so everyone can live a decent life.

@JacobsBen @alex_crook If Tuchel needs Henderson for the dressing room morale, to me that shows he's a shit manager. Hendo isn't going to play a pinpoint pass 50 yards to open up the opposition & that's part of England's problem. Time will tell & I am more than happy to eat my words if we win! 🏆

🚨 BREAKING: Adam Wharton is out the England squad. 🤝 @alex_crook

@mufcrederd31025 @mufcytp @JacobsBen @alex_crook You mean Blackburn Rovers! 😉😁

@mufcytp @JacobsBen @alex_crook Our? Are you a Crystal Palace fan?

No increase in cancer risk following mRNA Covid vaccines in large data sets from Norway 🇳🇴 and Sweden 🇸🇪 They don't cause cancer It's a myth invented by anti vaxxers to scare you off vaccines

@Potstirrer111 Quantify "good". Like all cands some are relevant for the role & some aren't. & they're from all over 🌎. We do need these skills b/c Aussie Biz have failed to develop our own peeps. Aus Execs don't think beyond next Bonus payment.

@AJG71 Are they any good?

Yeh maybe they shouldn’t have done this.

@mightgetthere @lttlefoot @VinniesAust Sorry Val but that is the usual cop out from the religious. If there is a "God" he's a dick! Sex abuse of kids by priests was the final straw for me. It's a myth used to explain what we didn't know before we had science.

@AJG71 @lttlefoot @VinniesAust No one can really prove it for you it is up to you to find your path. You may however continue to ask questions and not shut yourself off.

@1788isalright @paulsperfect @lesstenny @favfavalore Where would those businesses be without us? We are their customers. They exist in our society. We give them an stable environment to do business & laws to protect their interests. In return they should pay tax to support that environment. Too many take the piss.

@paulsperfect @lesstenny @favfavalore Those businesses who employ millions of people who all pay tax. Where would we be without them.

Oh ffs so many wealthy people are crying that they might have to pay some extra tax so Labor can help young people into the housing market.. Fucking cry me a freaking river.. Just get over it folks.. You'll survive, they won't if the ALP doesn't do something #auspol 😮

@lttlefoot @mightgetthere @VinniesAust I don't claim to be a theologian but I was brought up Catholic & studied the New Testament but then I grew up, started to think for myself & realised religion was bollocks & a blite on our civilisation & "God" is a made up fallacy. Prove to me that Jesus was the "Son of God" then

@AJG71 @mightgetthere @VinniesAust You don't know the first thing about Jesus

@mightgetthere @lttlefoot @VinniesAust By all modern measures, Jesus was a socialist in his preaching & his actions. He was far more a socialist than the son of a god.

@lttlefoot @VinniesAust The bible teaches us to earn our living. That we all have skills that are not the same as others. Skills to be traded with others. Money came about to simplify that trade. The bible teaches charity not socialism.

@VinniesAust For all the "geniuses" having a go at this statement, Vinnies has to deal with the consequences of political policy decisions. It has far more insight on the impact on those decisions. Try listening & expand your knowledge rather than thinking about your wallet with your own bias
