@AngusTaylorMP @macsween_prue Yes. Exactly

Australians should benefit from what's beneath our feet. The resources powering our homes, fuelling our cars, creating jobs, and securing our future. It's the envy of the world. But under Labor? Tax it. Tie it in red tape. Make projects wait eight years for a decision. The result: jobs gone, industries stalling, and critical energy projects stuck in limbo while your power and fuel bills keep climbing. If we're not drilling, we're not prepared for moments like this, when global supply tightens, Australians pay the price. Today the Coalition has laid out the plan to get Australia moving again - more resources, more exports, more jobs, more homes. ✅ Fix broken environmental approvals ✅ Fast-track nationally significant projects like oil and gas ✅ Boost incentives for early-stage exploration ✅ Scrap Labor's carbon tax (aka the Safeguard Mechanism) Dig, drill, and pay down the debt bill. 🇦🇺

@brobson_politic @JohnRuddick2 Yep. He’s a cnut.

Jim Chalmers is about to utterly fuck small business owners. Imagine for a moment: - you start a small business by building a website, some equipment, and buying a few supplies - it cost you ~$5,000. - over the next 10 years you work incredibly hard (you survived the GFC and COVID19) to grow your business. - you then have an opportunity to sell it for $3M. - you think you've now got a $3M nest-egg that will allow you to move onto the next stage of your life (possibly an early retirement). - But in comes Jim Chalmers, who changes the CGT rules, and now you're going to have to pay the top-marginal tax rate on $2,990,000 ... so you lose ~$1.4M and now only have half of what you thought. This is an appalling act of bastardry and will utterly destroy small business and entrepreneurship in Australia.

@AlboMP A few fucking $$ per week. Stop gaslighting

NEWS: Every worker can get a $1,000 instant tax deduction next financial year.

@JEChalmers Fuck me. This is completely gaslighting the taxpayer. They're getting a few bucks a week in their pocket. Literally only a few bucks a week. If your actions an words are true, your budget will blow this out of the water = dollars dissolved. You are the biggest gaslighter.

6.2M workers will benefit from Labor's $1,000 instant tax deduction, with a maximum saving of $470, and an average saving of $205. This is all about helping workers cut back on the paperwork and saving them time and money at tax time.

@JacintaAllanMP This actually does need to happen. Not sure free for another month is the answer however slashed tickets thereafter is what’s required. PTV should be a service to tax payers, not another government ‘profit centre’ covering exorbitant exec salaries and business expenses.

We’re extending free public transport for another month and then we’re making fares half-price until the end of the year to help take pressure off the pump. I know this won’t solve every problem, but it’s another step I can take to help Victorians right now.

@D_Melissa2 TDS right here ⬆️

Australians can’t stand the orange deranged tyrant Trump.

@SenatorWong @AlboMP @AusHCMalaysia Number one toxic gaslighter of all gaslighters right here ⬆️

At a time like this, trusted friends matter more than ever. This week with @AlboMP I visited Malaysia, a vital trading partner. Australia is a trusted supplier of natural gas, and Malaysia is an important supplier of refined fuel. We rely on each other, and we’re stronger for it.

@RennickGBR @OzPollies Good to see the public sector rort the system as it was intended to do!!! The government produces nothing, just recycles tax payer dollars from the private sector.

“A surge in retirements of public servants entitled to generous defined benefits schemes could undermine government plans to defer drawdown on the Future Fund, with the Department of Finance reporting that retirement benefits for former bureaucrats, parliamentarians and judges make up almost all of its $175.7bn in administered liabilities. Amid ongoing warnings about the mammoth size of superannuation liabilities, The Australian can reveal the number of retirements from the Australian Public Service has soared at the same time as the Albanese government bureaucracy in June last year ballooned to 198,529.” ••••••••••••••••••••• The trough is never deep enough for these grifters is it? That liability of $175 billion has been discounted for inflation but not indexed for wage increases. In other words the true liability is much much higher. When I got it costed five years the undiscounted figure was $334 billion so it would be much higher now. People First is the only party that has a policy to means test this bureaucratic junket. Note in the clip I say 168, it should be 168,000. If you want to help us rein it in please sign up today at Peoplefirstparty.au

@australian Hang on, labor wanting to rein in NDIS spending? I call Bullshit. Shorten is irrelevant anyway. Both are BS.

Labor must not 'tear down' the NDIS as it seeks to rein in the $50bn-a-year scheme, the party’s former leader and disability minister Bill Shorten says, urging blame for cost blowouts to be laid squarely at the feet of 'shonks, fraudsters and criminals', not disabled Australians.

@theheraldsun Like always, they’re spending too much and putting it back on to the tax payers.

The government’s four bin system will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to introduce while households will be slugged up to $150 more for kerbside collection. See how much of the cost your council is passing to you > bit.ly/4tt2nwE

@JEChalmers = Covid. And all those decisions back then were bipartisan. The real reason you’re looking for gratification is because you’re not doing that great Jim. The game isn’t to be ‘the better of the G20’, it’s to be the best for Australians. THE FACTS: you’re spending too much.

THE FACTS: New IMF data shows that under Labor Australia has surged up global rankings for best budget management to have one of the three strongest balances in the G20. This is up from 14th under the Liberals and Nationals in 2021. People are under real pressure as a result of the conflict in the Middle East but thanks to the progress Australians have made together in our economy, we’re well placed and well prepared to confront it.

@MarkoMatvikov Bit like each way Albo. The left are so torn with their ideology versus reality.

It’s actually sad to me that the Greens are so right and so wrong at the same time, all the time. Take this post as an example. She rightly points out that most people are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer. But then conflates taxing income with taxing wealth – and rather than advocating for income tax cuts, she advocates for more tax. She then rightly points out that the wealthy are buying political power while our kids face unaffordable housing. But then she calls for more tax for more spending that’d drive inflation – rather than balancing supply and demand in the housing market. They’ll never have credibility with mainstream Australia so long as their solution to every problem is more tax for more spend.

@aaronsmith @JackLit10200548 No shit. So many have are career politicians.

@DJWilliams71 @JackLit10200548 Labor was born out of the trade union movement - they’ve never claimed otherwise.

Jess Wilson’s pre-Parliament experience was as a staffer for Josh Frydenberg, followed by a stint with a business lobby group. That may be why her stale policy offering sounds like a Morrison–Matt Guy tribute act: gas, gas, gas - Australia’s most expensive electricity.

@SimonBanksHB Let’s be clear. Labor are inept.

Let's be clear The LNP's plan is to force an unneccessary recession in Australia Why? Because there is nothing more important to them than austerity and cutting worker's wages Backed by One Nation

@aaronsmith @JackLit10200548 Neither has the labor fed and state government you fucking goose. Grow up.

@JackLit10200548 Firstly, i'm not standing for office. But in any event, I have significantly more commercial experience than Jess Wilson. Most people do. She's never employed anyone. She's never started a business. She's never a run a business.

@JEChalmers Have you cut your spending? . . . Crickets 🦗 . . . Thought so

We recognise that people are under pressure and more than recognise it, we're doing something about it with decisive action to help with the cost of living, including halving the fuel tax.

@heidimur Who has really put them there?

“I want to welcome them to my Ministry”, Premier and Deputy Carroll with the 4 new Ministers.

@JacintaAllanMP Oh my. You are trying to sure up votes with more immigration. The wrong type. You are hopeless.

My thoughts on the Liberals’ extreme, race-based migration policy: This Trump-style policy will go after Chinese families, Muslims, and even Christians from places like Lebanon and Iraq. It's just unaustralian. In this country, we care about who you are, not where you're from.

@JacintaAllanMP Wow. You fine a business for not reporting their prices in a free market. They have them out the front on the roadside board. It’s up to us to use the business or not. How about you stop your excessive spending and rorting with the CFMEU. Fuck me you are a joke. And hopeless.

We're cracking down on servos not reporting their fuel prices on Servo Saver - with more than $80,000 in fines issued.
