@matt_barrie This change is really bringing all the 🤡 out onto the stage. Nice metaphor idiot.

$100k in powerball is more tax advantageous than $100k in BHP
Treasury's message to young Australians: Don't invest. Gamble.

@BigSkunk_ @craigkellyAFEE You dumb cunt. Go on and build your wealth on 45k p.a. Go to uni and get real job so you can actually make some money and get some
Idea along the way.
English
@Latho99 @craigkellyAFEE Young people living at home you dumb fuck.. the exact people who this government was "helping". Instead its making it impossible for them to be smart savers whilst still being young and debt free.

If you are earning less than $45,000 your marginal tax rate is zero for $0 – $18,200 and 16% for $18,201 – $45,000.
However if you’ve bought a few shares, or maybe invested in a few antiques - that have had a capital gain, sneaky Albanese now wants to tax that not at your marginal rate, but at 30%.
Its a direct attack on low income earners and pensioner.
PoliticalPilot@PilotPoli
The 30% minimum tax on capital gains is the worst tax policy change in Australian political history. It's effectively saying to the average punter, don't save, don't invest, and don't try to make your money work for you. I've been a Labor member and voter since my first election, that ended tonight.

Josh Ganim showing up in the Reds mid week socials is the best news I’ve had all week instagram.com/p/DYOoTtslO4k/…

@kinson88 @NrcSydney @iainpayten @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @wwos @SMHsport Is it time Rugby admits is has a referring problem (globally). When former international coaches (Eddie and Link) ask first who is reffing the game before they make result predictions should War just admit they get too much air time now days.

Some big news to get through on #InsideLine tomorrow @iainpayten. As always, will aim to answer a few questions submitted to #Mailbag… fire away ⬇️ | @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @wwos @SMHsport

@Calingram Sorry mate but Finn Mackay is with the Reds. Maybe they can have HMP, if he’s dumb enough to sign.
English
The last thing the Tahs need is sweeping change. Just elevate Wilson to 9 and Bell back as a talisman to captain next year. Keep investing in the tight 5, back a long-term franchise 10 (prob Finn Mackay), and build a system. Be patient, talent doesn’t manifest in chaos.
English
@biscuitman007 To be fair they were terrible before Mackeller arrived.
English
Can't see the Tahs winning another game this season. Two terrible seasons with Mackellar as coach. As long as he stays, NSW rugby is in a bad position. Our NSW rugby fans deserve better than the slop Mackellar has served up. #HIGvWAR

@jaredwright17 @PlanetRugby No problem with the red card. It was the other yellow, the non yellow, missed knock on and general incompetence that really annoyed me.
English
🟥 A bit of chatter around Australia's Cooper Watters' red card after the broadcast footage didn't show New Zealand's Finn McLeod going head-first into the turf.
But I have received the video TMO Egon Segonds used to make the call, which wasn't shown on the broadcast.
English
@Bomber0601 @wallabies @SanzarTRC You must have missed the Reds v Lions games about 15 yrs ago. The game last night reminded me of it.
English
Ive never seen such appalling officiating as the disgraceful SA referee for the u20 @wallabies against NZ. Its either blatant cheating or incompetence by both Van Rooyen the cat on ground & Egon Seconds as TMO. Embarrassing @SanzarTRC . SA commentators were even baffled
English
Rugby Australia distributed AUD 4.6m in direct grants to member unions and affiliates in FY2025
just 1.75% of its total revenue.
Even using the broader “community grants and costs” line, the figure rises only to 2.89% of revenue.
Growing the game?

@kinson88 @JWDrennan @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @wwos Here’s a hypothetical. $30m in high interest savings account earns ~ $1.5m p.a. Where does the panel think RA gets the highest ROI from $1.5m p.a investment?

BIG DEBUT on #InsideLine today…
@JWDrennan makes his first appearance, charging off the back fence!

What are the chances Henry Robertson leapfrogs Lonergan into the 3rd 9 in the #Wallabies squad?
English
@scrumming_ten Actually mate it was an Aussie media billionaire who needed content for his pay tv station that underwrote SR in beginning. If we were actually thinking long term we wouldn’t have ever signed up to that. Don’t know where that would have left a your 3rd world country today.
English
Rugby in NZ and Australia would be a semi-pro sport by now if SA teams started playing in Europe in 1996
Look how they're struggling without us!
They're lucky that we played in Super Rugby for 25 years despite being disadvantaged by the travel, schedule and timezones
English
@TalksRugby Crowd was lively. It’s not the team, it’s comp that people have given up on. That’s obvious across all teams. I know many people who “used” to follow SR and gave up to watch more league.
English
Question for the Force fans; looked like a decent crowd last night. Was the difference the later start time?
Considering how many NRL fans would have watched to see Lomax, or at least watched his highlights, the loud crowd makes it such a better product.
English
@kinson88 good show tonight lots of insights.
Can’t help but comment lots of consideration regarding what players, clubs, admin & broadcasters want, but no mention of what fans want.
A successful SR comp will solely be determined by what fans want and are willing to pay for.
English
@jim_demps @brumby_fan Oh you meant over the course of time that universe has existed. Cool man.
English
@brumby_fan I threw down a few extra just for kicks.
20+ who moved to Australia as adults. There’s plenty more as well I’d say if I went out looking.
English
I’d love to see this list of 20.
Jim Demps@jim_demps
Pot, kettle, Wallaby. The country that literally started national team recruitment with Tian Strauss and Pat Noriega has found the moral high ground. I bet I could name 20 fully capped wallabies who only moved to Australia as adults without breaking stride.
English
@ChristypDoran Good chat Doran. Always bring the good news with you. Did you ask your mate a News to post that reply.
English
Ex-All Blacks assistant Scott McLeod has joined the Wallabies as their new defence coach.
Very well-credentialled coach and has two world cups behind him.
Although Brissy-born, he’s a kiwi. Ex-All Black centre turned coach. Appointment doesn’t say much for Aussie coaching pathways.
English
@brumby_fan Frustration. Years of roller coaster performances. Hope. My country.
English
Can some with half a brain please explain to me what the Wallabies “represent”?
Steven Cook@Steven_J_Cook
@SteveMascord I always hope the Wallabies lose. I hate what they represent. I prefer the All Blacks. At least the sport is less elitist there.
English
Could anyone provide the link to the article that was well researched indicating or suggesting that the Western Force was in financial trouble.( the sensationalist doom mongers angle)
Craig@balumbah
FYI, Western Force becoming a not‑for‑profit mainly lets future funding be structured as tax‑deductible philanthropy instead of non‑deductible private support, which is attractive for the Forrests’ philanthropic vehicles. Simple @kinson88 #Seaofblue #WesternForce
