I figured I would start occasionally posting some of my artwork here. This one was a still life, painted several years ago (oil on canvas). It’s special to me because it was my first serious attempt at oil painting. I never really gave it a title; I just call it “mask painting”, and I gave it to my mother as a gift.

@HaveeSnowball What a clown show! Easy workaround though… “Bullshit, bullshitter, bullshitting”

Quite incredible In the Australian House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House, Milton Dick has banned the words “lies, liar, lying” and variations. So when Italian Albo actually lies, it’s not possible to describe him as a liar. Parliament and “democracy” is a joke and has no credibility.

@JEChalmers This is a beautiful example of vile deceit from a shady politician. Advertising a pathetic $250 a year tax cut while sneaking in a massive increase to capital gains tax, and then turning the gaslighting up to 11. You’re a snake.

Labor is delivering five tax cuts in three different ways. Tomorrow we’ll introduce historic legislation to deliver more tax cuts to Australian workers. If the Coalition votes against our tax cuts, they will be voting – yet again - for higher income taxes for millions of Australian workers.

@AlboMP How about you just keep your grubby hands out of our fucking pockets!

Changing unfair tax breaks. 5% deposits on your first house. 100k new homes put aside for first home buyers. We're doing everything we can to give you a fair crack at your first home.

@JEChalmers Modelling shows you’re a lying fuckwit! Incredible that you can propose to fuck over investors and entrepreneurs, and then try and sell it as a good thing.

@AlboMP Fuck you! Your bill is all about raising taxes and screwing over investors. You’re despicable!

NEW LAWS INTRODUCED: tax cuts for every worker and a fair go for first home buyers.

@Rainmaker1973 Good on him. The fashion crew shouldn’t have tried to take over a public staircase as if they own it.

Man accidentally walks runway at Australian Fashion week while heading for swim.

@SawyerMerritt Wow, that’s insane!

@OzraeliAvi Brilliant! I’ve mostly just drawn dicks on my voting slips (with hairy balls), but I voted one nation last election and most certainly will again next election.

@Nchira @HazelAppleyard “Highly trusted accounts” from people who will kill you if you fail the experiment that they designed and fund. I realise it’s just a fun hypothetical, but if it were real the red flags should be going off like crazy.

@LeeFazzani @HazelAppleyard And after minimal effort they discover it's all open and clear money being deposited from highly trusted accounts within their system for decades and they release the funds after 24 hours. If you're going to make up things outside the prompt then it's fair to make anything up

How would you manage it?

@HazelAppleyard Probably not wise to accept money from an unknown source that promises to kill you if you fail in their experiment.

That much money would make it more likely for something to go wrong. Authorities get suspicious as to where all this money is coming from… The bank freezes outgoing payments on the account due to suspicious activity = dead. The penalty of death tells us that the money is coming from a bad place with nefarious intentions. Easy pass from me.

@LeeFazzani @HazelAppleyard I've been automating payments for 20 years and it's never gone down for more than 24 hours. That's without having literally billions of dollars to create extra safeguards. I think I'll be fine.

@BoomerDivvies I assume the $1000 weekly payments don’t rise with inflation, so this is objectively a poor financial decision in which she left a lot on the table. At least she safeguarded herself from blowing it all and being left with nothing, which I kind of respect.

An 20-year-old Canadian girl won $1M (tax free in Canada) in the lottery and chose $1,000/week instead of the lump sum. Is this wise or the worst financial decision of her life? What are you doing when this happens to you??

@DrewPavlou @littlemykonos Yep. Tax brackets are ridiculous to begin with. It should be a low flat rate for everyone (10% or less). Our bloated and incompetent government need to correct course on the reckless spending rather than endlessly taxing us more and more.

Taxes are too high in Australia It’s ridiculous that the top tax rate kicks in at a level where you still couldn’t even afford an average house in Sydney

@IfindRetards It’s always gross to see pandering to crazy woke ideology. Gross and sad.

Absolute madness City of Greater Geelong has changed their breastfeeding rooms to "Chest feeding rooms" Acting executive director Monica Thomson said the private room was for “lactating parents to feed or express milk”. “We are committed to inclusion, diversity and equity, including the use of inclusive and gender-neutral language in documentation like our enterprise agreement,”

😂 This really hits home.

@JEChalmers You’re proud to be stealing investor’s hard earned gains with a minimum 30% capital gains tax… Fuck you, you fucking commie!

This is a Budget that makes the tax system fairer for workers, businesses and first homebuyers.

@LisaJaneSpencer Well said. The budget is an absolute disgrace. Everything that Albo and his cronies touch, turns to shit.

Rant incoming… RE budget. Not my usual satire video

@PaulineHansonOz Well said. Thank you for fighting against this insanity!

Labor’s budget is a national disgrace and Jim Chalmers has zero shame. Labor didn't have the guts to field a candidate in Farrer and has no no clue what everyday Aussies are furious about. Massive deficits, $1 TRILLION in gross debt next year, $77 BILLION in new taxes, inflation heading to 7%… yet they still lecture young people about “helping” them into homes while interest rates climb to 10%? They’re deaf to the anger over immigration, integration and people who refuse to speak our language or accept Australian values. They’re addicted to net-zero handouts and renewable scams while ignoring our own resources. Last night proved exactly why voters have had enough. Here’s the good news: One Nation just delivered a political earthquake. We smashed it in South Australia and won the seat of Farrer, our first ever House of Representatives seat. The protest party myth is dead. One Nation WILL take Australia back for the majority. We WILL put the next generation first. We WILL end the age of reckless spending, open borders and bribing voters. The message from Farrer is loud: Australians want their country back. Welcome to the team, David Farley for Farrer. Let’s get to work

@JEChalmers How the fuck does increasing capital gains tax help us! There is so much that could be done to reduce wasteful spending, and instead you focus on stealing more from us! Shameful!

This is the most important and ambitious Budget in decades. Important because the world is throwing a lot at us – and this Budget is about helping Australia deal with these challenges. And ambitious because we have so much going for us – and this Budget is about Australia seizing those opportunities. This Budget is ambitious in the face of adversity. It’s a responsible Budget, and a reforming Budget, which builds resilience and bolsters our economy. There is more cost of living relief, more Medicare and more aged care, and more housing. It makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations – Responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities. We are responding to the biggest oil shock in history with a comprehensive $14.8 billion plan to secure more fuel, strengthen our supply chains, build resilience, and take the sting out of prices. Immediate relief from the fuel crisis is coupled with lasting and responsible cost of living measures. Tonight, we are proud to be delivering another round of ongoing tax cuts for Australian workers. We will put more money into the pockets of 13.3 million workers with a new $250 Working Australians Tax Offset. It will begin from the second half of 2027 and be paid each year, ongoing and automatically in your tax return just like the instant deduction we’re rolling out as well. The $6.4 billion tax offset is the biggest cost of living measure in this Budget – But it’s not all we’re doing to support families under pressure. As a Labor government, we will always invest in Medicare, cheaper medicines and public health so Australians get the care they need, when they need it. Australia’s longstanding housing shortage is making homes unaffordable. This challenge hits young workers and families hard and we’re addressing it from every responsible angle. The reforms in this Budget will lift our total investment in housing to a record $47 billion. We’re levelling the playing field for first home buyers with 5 per cent deposits and tax reform to help more young Australians into their own home. These housing reforms go to the core of our Budget strategy. Dealing with the very real pressures on people right now – While taking responsibility for the challenges facing the next generations. The challenges coming at us, the opportunities ahead of us and the better future that Australians deserve, will not wait for a time when all is quiet in the world. That’s why this Budget invests in resilience and reform, to grow our economy the right way and lift living standards over time. This productivity package will help us attract and absorb more investment, make it easier and quicker to build, and slash compliance costs. This Budget includes the most significant tax reform package in more than a quarter of a century. This is about tax relief and tax reform to make our economy work for more Australians, businesses and future generations. We’re delivering a fairer tax system for workers, first home buyers and young people. We’re building a better tax system for businesses, with over $3.5 billion in new measures that lower taxes, to encourage investment and innovation. Our tax reforms will help workers, create a fairer housing market, and drive more productive investment across our economy. Debt is lower and the budget position is stronger in every year of the medium term because of our savings. The medium-term budget position is much stronger and more sustainable as a consequence, creating more room for future tax relief. Against a backdrop of global uncertainty, this Budget invests in Australia’s resilience, economic sovereignty and national security. At a time when Australians are under pressure, this Budget delivers more help with the cost of living and new tax cuts for workers. And in an era where people feel like the system no longer works for them, this Budget doesn’t just acknowledge that – it acts on it. No other budget in the 2000s has set out this much responsible Budget repair and this much economic reform. These are difficult decisions to ensure a stronger bottom line every year, to give us greater insurance in uncertain times. At the same time as we build a more resilient, productive and competitive economy. This is a strategy which helps shield people from the harshest consequences of a global oil crisis – Stabilises our economy and our Budget at a time of extreme uncertainty and volatility in the world – And strengthens Australia for the next shock. Tonight, we choose the hard road of reform, not the path of least resistance. By responding to the pressures Australians confront today. And fulfilling our obligations and responsibilities to the generations to come.
