🚨 NEW: 21% of voters say they are hesitant to vote for One Nation because of Pauline Hanson's support for Donald Trump, according to the latest RedBridge/Accent federal poll 19% say they will never vote for One Nation, but 15% have no hesitations about supporting them

@Daz985363212311 Thanks for the response and expanding a bit more

It’s a basic economic principle applied in modelling tax and investment with positive productivity outcomes , even if you hate modelling framework used by Canberra as I do I don’t think Government intervention ever works in anything particularly with housing , it has been tried under Keating and he had to repeal it because of the disaster in cost increase And FNP , I’m always serious in a constant tone of fucking outrage at the disintegration of the greatest nation our Aus

Sickening remarks.

Amelia Hamer has been spruiking her skills as a “financial analyst”. So I looked for reporting on her performance as an equities analyst at Ord Minnett and this is reported; Average return: -17.5% loss Best return: 0.32% 🫣 Worst return: -19.45% loss Quite the resume.

@aaronsmith I heard that some potentially long-term unfair usage of trusts may be targeted in the upcoming budget? 😲

Amelia calls herself a financial analyst. A real one would know opex from capex, and that a $1m asset purchase is not reflected as a $1m operating loss. (like when you buy a house). Lucky Amelia has a trust to fall back on. This analysis won’t pay anyone’s rent. Embarrassing.

@Potstirrer111 @ajamesbragg Since the coalition have used slogans like 'petrol on the inflation fire' for yrs, perhaps a slogan-friendly way to reframe this is 'reducing this tax-payer subsidised (forgone tax well beyond inflation/indexation) fuel on the total investor ownership of all houses fire' (wordy)

Taxing investors more which is 43% of buyers reduces demand for homes when currently demand outstrips supply. Keeping the cgt and ng for new homes increases supply as currently only 7% of investors buy new homes. The tax changes shifts these buyers to new homes. Reducing demand and increasing supply helps fix the housing crisis. Hope this helps.

Can’t wait to hear how more tax will help the housing crisis. No wonder the economy is cactus.

HYPOCRITES OR COWARDS? Australia doesn’t elect (or re-elect) politicians from either side who point to the need for hard changes. And we haven’t for a couple of decades So we get governments who have promised to do nothing And then they deliver on that promise (To be fair, they still proved effective crisis-fighters when needed, such as the Coalition during COVID or Labor during the GFC) Our failure to change is increasingly weighing on Australian living standards A few years ago I wrote that “The government can do what it has promised to do, or it can do what it should do” And I finished with “the nation is better off if our politicians choose courage over consistency. Or, if you like, I prefer hypocrites to cowards. So, I hope budget night will be filled with broken promises” The vibes are increasingly that the coming budget will have some broken promises. And I get that people are grumpy about that But I’d still prefer it to the alternative

@Sociopathicide @shaunking Although Smotrich has said many disgusting things, I cannot find a credible primary source (e.g. video, transcript, or mainstream news outlet) documenting Smotrich actually saying this.

@shaunking He's a born and bred sociopath, like most of his cult.

@MarkoMatvikov @ContextJitters @Potstirrer111 @AvidCommentator My first comment was for the graphic itself, the 2nd comment was for other graphics that can be found on their page ("media" tab) there are graphs over a wider period see any trends are the introduction of certain policies. Such as this one:

I’m unclear what the policy shift is here that’s leading to the outcomes in the OP - as well as the policy basis for what’s inferred in CJ’s visualisations (ie it seems to apply a strategy for the data when I’m not convinced our government has one or that the outcomes are its intention).

Labor finally listening on migration. The one nation vote has scared them. Approvals for international students collapsed

The idea that EV batteries age poorly is a misconception – and a new report has found they often outlive the cars themselves #Echobox=1777750792" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/mg2703…

@ContextJitters Let's model open hearts and open minds (algor. opposes this). I, after being exposed to new info/perspectives, have experienced cognitive dissonance & changed/nuanced my opinion on some issues. When claims sound outrageous/unfair, I have to spend effort to fact check for myself😅

@FairNPractical thanks - appreciate the kind words. still a WIP - hopefully more signal than noise. Just between you & me - I suspect other posters you share with may actually prefer the single graphs & few data points to make their sweeping statements...

@Peter_Strachan NOM is unwinding from the post-COVID surge — arrivals are falling, departures are normalising, and levels are tracking back toward the pre-COVID range.
