@SpachusAus Didn't NSW finally legislate that price guides HAVE to be published? When is that actually coming in to place?

The map is telling a story 📍 More grey dots = more listings with prices We’re starting to see the shift… Seller’s market ➡️ Buyer’s market Momentum is changing. Keep watching 👀 #Sydney

@PhilGould15 So glad to see him doing so well, definitely been through so much over his career and many would have thought he wouldn't have one at this point.

@NoticerNews Such a beautiful culture with wonderful traditions 🥰Let's give em a few more billion and a voice to parliament

A man has died following a massive clash between aboriginals armed with edged weapons in the remote community of Milingimbi in the Northern Territory. noticer.news/milingimbi-man…

@AZ_Intel_ Probably shouldn't have tried to sneak into a country on a shitty boat then.

About 250 Rohingya and Bangladeshis, including children, are missing after their boat capsized last week in the Andaman Sea, according to the United Nations' refugee and migration agencies. - BBC

@LeeRespecter What exactly do they want the opposition to do? Any semblance of distancing from being Labor but pretending to be good with money and all these idiots shriek about Trumpism.

The response of the Australian media to the Liberal’s very modest and obvious immigration proposals seems to be “that sounds like something Trump would do” which is not a meaningful descriptor or argument. Literally every proposal is framed in the context of the US and Trump. Australia has immigration practices materially harsher than America’s when it comes to offshore arrivals so framing modest proposals like deporting people who are not meant to be here (we aren’t already doing this??) as draconian sounds very silly. Ultimately, these proposals don’t deal with the real issue, the volume.

@KosSamaras You are being intentionally dishonest. I can't wait to see how you try spin it when your beloved Labor lose.

Angus Taylor stood up this week and told Australia its immigration system needs to discriminate based on values, that people from certain places are less likely to share what we stand for. Somewhere in Menzies, a Chinese Australian family heard that and thought: he's talking about us. They're probably right. Here's the thing nobody is saying about Tuesday's announcement. We asked 2,000 voters who they blame for rising prices and interest rates. Forty per cent said politicians. Twenty per cent said CEOs. Six per cent said immigrants. Even among One Nation voters, the people Taylor is performing for, 59% blame politicians. Their vote isn't an immigration grievance. It's institutional fury. And you cannot outdo One Nation on either grievance or immigration. So what Taylor has actually done is design a policy that won't win the voters he's chasing, delivered in language that will cost him voters he desperately needs, in the seats that decide Australian elections, in the cities that have already punished the Coalition across two consecutive elections. The demographic backdrop makes it worse. India is about to overtake England as Australia's largest overseas-born diaspora, likely confirmed in ABS data due this month. The median age of England-born Australians is 59.6. India-born: 35.8. One of those communities is the electoral future of metropolitan Australia. The other is not. Chasing ghosts of the past whilst losing votes. Full piece below

@ThreetothePower Tbf I don't think that sort of namecalling even works any more, it kinda worked when it was only terminally online auspol types talking about it but the migration issue is now something even normies talk about at the pub.

Any restriction on immigration will be called a White Australia Policy.

@ThreetothePower That bloke has to be an elaborate ragebaiter at this point, I refuse to believe anyone actually believes half of what he says

"This is what happens if you vote for Pauline Hanson" >16 years in government, completely stacked the institutions and the opposition was a centre-right party. Sign me the fuck up.

@ClownWorld *insert photo of Dave Ramsay looking disappointed here*

Approved for a 2016 BMW. $486 a month for 108 months. Total cost: $52,488. By the time it's paid off, that car will be 19 years old. This is not a flex. It's financial ruin.

@KosSamaras My view, personally, is that the right wing surge is 100% down to poor migration decisions from the establishment parties. People aren't voting to the right because they hate healthcare or welfare (well, some are of course), people vote right because of migration.

Hungary just delivered one of the most instructive electoral results in years. Worth unpacking because it does highlight a huge weakness for Right wing popularism. Péter Magyar’s Tisza party has ended Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power, winning what appears to be close to a two-thirds parliamentary majority. Record turnout and a landslide. The temptation will be to read this as a liberal revolt against authoritarianism. It’s not. Magyar is not a man of the Left. He’s a former Fidesz insider. His Tisza party sits in the European People’s Party, the same centre-right grouping as every mainstream conservative party in Europe. He kept Orbán’s migration position. He’s not offering a different cultural settlement. He’s offering the same national frame, stripped of the corruption and the economic emptiness that came with it. That’s the key. Magyar ran on a “Hungarian New Deal” - taxes on the super-rich, insulation subsidies, better family payments etc. He planted himself on the kitchen table and refused to move. While Orbán campaigned on geopolitics and MAGA style outrage, Magyar kept pulling the conversation back to wages, healthcare, and who was stealing from whom. Magyar didn’t need to win the culture war. He just needed to be acceptable on culture and compelling on economics. He was.

@AllieJade1 This must be an American thing because I don't think I've ever dealt with the Gen Z stare down here in Aus, all the young workers in hospitality/retail for the most part seem switched on and do their jobs like you'd expect

I've read about this Gen Z stare and up til now, I'd never encountered it. That was until today. I walked into a local take out shop. 2 cash registers, 2 people ready to take your order. The first girl was busy with customers, so I look at the girl at the 2nd cash. She just stares at me. Her face never moved, she didn't blink, she just stared at me like I was invisible. It was like she didn't know how to acknowledge or give basic social cues. I'm looking at her thinking, usually people behind the counter say hello first as a cue to advance to their wicket. She just stared at me! So I ask: Hi, do you want to take my order? Her: Sure. That's all she initially said. Honestly it was the oddest thing I've ever encountered, it was like she was on auto pilot. Once I started speaking to her, it was like her batteries kicked in and then she smiled became friendly. Has anyone else ever encountered that stare?

@chugginloads69 @DrewPavlou You could probably split that down too. I imagine the migrants of the 80s/90s/early 00's would be more conervative about migration numbers than the post covid ones.

@DrewPavlou This is just all the Kiwis and Brits probs. Those actually born outside Australia I imagine are still probs fervently pro-immigration

26% of voters born outside of Australia still support One Nation - Australian equivalent of MAGA

@ThreetothePower I was kinda hoping the ON migrant vote would be higher than born in Aus purely for the discourse but this is still pretty based i guess

We should be careful about alienating immigrants by opposing immigration.

@AkkadSecretary American payment system in general is completely cooked. Unserious country. Every bill or large purchase is done by direct debit, every small purchase in a store/venue I tap my phone. The American mind cannot comprehend such simplicity.

It amazes me what you guys are expected put up with as normal and no one complains. Did you know American banks charge customers to transfer their own money? "Wire transfer fees" $15–$35 (Costs the bank $0.001)

@MarkoMatvikov Even my left leaning friends have started discussing how bad the NDIS spend/fraud is getting. Definitely a bad approach.

Bad decision from the Greens to oppose NDIS reform. This binary approach of always arguing for more tax to plug spending black holes is childish.

@LeeRespecter Progressive Populism aka tax everyone into poverty and open the borders but hey at least we're owning the rich people and corpos

Ah so it’s not even going to pretend to be a think tank. It’s just a knock-off of the American fraudulent “voter registration non-profits”: “Chandler-Mather told Guardian Australia he would use the new full-time role to organise thousands of volunteers to conduct a major survey of economic and social life around the country, based on the success of his own door-knocking campaign in Queensland.” It’s just a push-poll and membership drive.

@AusPoll6 Damn didn't realise 41% of NSW were NDIS Providers

Anthony Albanese approval (NSW only) 🟢 Satisfied: 41% (-5) 🔴 Dissatisfied: 55% (+6) 🔴 Net approval: -14 (-11) Newspoll (quarterly aggregate) | 12 Jan-26 Mar | n=~2500 [subsample from nationwide poll] | +/- 29 Sep-20 Nov

@TMFScottP Yes, instead we should continue relying on the rest of the world to do everything for us and have an economy that runs on CFMEU extortion and NDIS Providers.

Populist nonsense from Senator Canavan.

@ItsTheEnforcer Is your TDS getting that bad that you believe Iranian propaganda? Please man you are smarter than this.

It seems highly likely that the 10-point plan the U.S. President claims was just delivered by Iran is the SAME plan that was reported weeks ago. It’s essentially terms of surrender for the United States of America 🤦‍♂️

@TheKouk Naturally that means my local servo will raise the price some more

Yowzer! Oil price down 17% Brent back to US$91 a barrel.
