@RebeccaYChan The world was at peace when Donald Trump was president

@MarkoMatvikov 100% 🎯 We’re a bureaucratic, pettifogging people

I keep telling people not to expect our productivity decline to be solved by technology. Our problem is cultural - that’s why it takes more people and time to build homes today than it did 30 years ago.

@HaveeSnowball Yes 👏

The Human Rights Commission, the Race Commissioner, the Sex Commissioner, the eSafety Commissioner - ALL NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN.

Victoria, Are you really this stupid 🤔

@RBASHAGGER Ash is a partisan propagandist. He repeats the convenient (for govt) lie that CPI is a true reflection of inflation. All you have to do is look at the cost of things like electricity or housing to see how big a lie that is.

@RBASHAGGER Meanwhile, in the real world

Parody can’t compete with this

@TimWilsonMP @MarthaThomas20 Bloomberg is reporting the truth about Australia’s ongoing inflation problem. Labor cannot manage the economy.

The Treasurer is addicted to spending and it’s fuelling the inflation fire. Now he’s taxing you more to pay for it. Share your story at notthetax.com.au

40 business owners under 40 have described Labor’s budget as an ‘Aspirational Ambush’. You take the risk. Labor Government will take the reward. #auspol

Labor The top marginal income tax rate of 47% kicks in at $190,000. In Sydney, that income is nowhere near enough to comfortably service a mortgage on a property worth even two-thirds of the city’s average house price. Yet this threshold is treated as though it captures only the ultra-wealthy. It was 180k in 2008 for top MTR. Adjusted for inflation it should be 280k. But they have only increased to 190k back in 2024. 3x as many people now paying top MTR. Many blue collar workers. It’s crook….sorry Labor are crooked.

You’d be $410 better off this year under our Tax Back Guarantee. Labor’s inflation tax is taking more from your pay packet. We’ll stop it.

@jurgenmeister4 @TimjboAU A liar from way back

Ha.. that's how Albo does it, bloat the public service for votes? The chart goes crazy the minute Labor came to power in 2022, costing us all a fortune. #auspol

@Karpyperth @Husqvarna73 @cjoye @keithmarlowau It’s hard to run a democratic election in Australia when Labor have a long history of deliberately lying during the campaign

@Husqvarna73 @BobReal16 @cjoye @keithmarlowau No mandate, you need an election to do that.

An analysis by former Treasury tax official Geoff Francis shows that under the government’s CGT changes, investors with a typical diversified portfolio where one-third of shares underperform inflation will face real effective capital gains tax rates of between 42 per cent and 65 per cent... In addition to indexing capital gains for inflation, Labor will impose a minimum tax rate of 30 per cent on real gains. However, real profits and losses from shares won’t be treated evenly. Only nominal losses, where the share price declines below the share purchase price, will continue to be permitted to be offset against real gains. Chile, one of the few countries in the world to use an inflation indexation model for capital gains, allows real losses to be offset against real gains. Labor’s model will penalise investors who spread their investments and record large gains on some stocks and big losses on other stocks, such as volatile biotech, technology and mining exploration companies. In the budget papers, Treasury cited e61 Institute senior economist Matt Nolan’s analysis of the existing 50 per cent capital gains discount as evidence for why it was better to move to an indexation model to compensate investors for inflation. Nolan said on Tuesday that although he supported indexing for inflation across the tax system, Labor’s CGT proposal had serious flaws. “If they’re not going to allow the real component of losses, that very much betrays the principle and can lead to strange distortions. It would penalise risk, so it does become quite a problem. You need to treat the upside and downside on gains and losses symmetrically.” afr.com/policy/tax-and…

Let her cook Australia, we can not lose who we are Stand up and push back, or risk losing what we have

When aren't you allowed to speak the TRUTH in the people's house? When it directly applies to the prime minister.

Andrew Wilks, who won the Prime Minister’s Prize for Innovation in 2024, has warned Labor’s tax changes will drive away scientists developing life-saving drugs. ebx.sh/0ZAwLm

@theheraldsun Victoria is bankrupt

The Allan government is under intense pressure for refusing to fund a revolutionary needle-free flu vaccine, forcing Victorian parents to fork out up to $75 per dose while other states roll it out for free. > bit.ly/49RA17G

@burkylie12 It isn’t easy under Albanese Inflation is still out of control and it’s getting worse

Anthony Albanese has taken a swipe at the Coalition's ads, suggesting the Liberals thought it "was still okay" to make fun of his name. It comes after the Coalition has been running advertisements on TV with the slogan "It won't be easy under Albanese". What a sook!
