Javier Milei: “Which region of the world is growing the least by far? Europe, because they are full of regulations... There is no incentive for investment, there is no innovation, so they have no economic growth.”

@TheKouk You really are a clueless dolt. Of course tax policy should be a consideration when you are starting a business. Nobody wants to work for the tax man.

If tax policy is the fundamental issue for you when you are starting a business, perhaps stick to knitting ...

If this is all about housing for young people then why are all our other assets being included such as shares , commercial property , industrial property what’s that got to do with housing ?

@AshPolitik Whats changed?

Criticising a leader for altering decisions based on the circumstances of the day, you void the right to lobby for change.

@drcwhos @Melbourne_says @Greens @MChandlerMather The only thing economists agree upon is that rent control doesn't work. Have a look at what has happened in Argentina after rent controls have been lifted. Rents have gone down and rental supply has gone up!

@Melbourne_says Only @Greens will introduce a rent cap at CPI and a 12 month rent freeze to catch up @MChandlerMather

I often talk about how my values align with Labor, but today's budget will define my next vote. My rent has gone up 723 dollars a month in just 6 years. My wage hasn't. I hope tonight's #Budget2026 brings relief for millions of Aussie renters like me.

@Vince_Noir77 @AlboMP You missed two squares. Parliament house is definitely part of the inflationary problem

Because help with the cost of living is our number one priority.

@AlboMP Then stop spending money and tax people less

@AlboMP TASADAF

We're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go.

@MarkGottlieb He was chatting to a mate..

Michael Voss on Sam Docherty's criticism earlier this season: "What I would say in Doc's instance is he should know better what its like to be that person inside the building. I thought that would be a more insightful conversation rather than just join the masses."

@CarltonFCBlues McDonald, Doc and Obrien only ones not on lists

The team from Voss’s first game vs the team from his last

@MSpringAuthor17 Moronic take

The only people complaining about the necessary Australian tax reforms are the billionaires, for whom our tax system has been far too generous for far too long.”

@markbouris @JoRockPoint Time to run Mark

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the budget this week? Feels like too many Australians are working harder than ever just to stand still. You don’t build a stronger country by making it harder for workers, business owners and families to get ahead.

🚨 AWESOME! Argentina President JAVIER MILEI: “When we came to power, Argentina was on its way to becoming Cuba with a stopover in Venezuela!” “We went from being one of the richest countries to the WORST because of SOCIALISM.” Not anymore! 🇺🇸🇦🇷

@MurrayWatt If you vote Labor you’ll get The Greens and The Teals. I’ll take One Nation any day. They aren’t traitors like you and your Labor Coalition.

AEMO has just blown out the cost of Australia's Net Zero grid to $128 billion and now says coal must run until 2049 to keep the lights on. Wind forecasts for 2030 have been slashed from 42.6 GW to 26 GW, with offshore wind now admitted to cost 40% more and deliver far less power. Transmission, the backbone of Net Zero, has been slashed from 10,000 km to 6,000 km after cancellations and cost blowouts of up to 100%. Coal remains indispensable, says AEMO, and the country's fleet must run 11 years longer than previously promised to stop blackouts and cover stalled renewable build-out. Reliability risks are also rising. Aging coal is being driven past design limits and a failure at any major plant could destabilize the grid. Gas becomes the strategic backup when solar collapses at dusk and during multi-day wind lulls - the exact conditions that already triggered emergency warnings this year. Every pillar of the plan: wind, transmission, timelines, costs, has been revised, delayed or downsized. Net Zero didn't replace coal. It extended it to 2049 (and likely far beyond).

Whoever Spencer Pratt has putting together his commercials, every Republican running for office in the midterms needs to hire them today! Here's another banger!👏

@outbreezyWC Not allowed to bounce the ball when tackled..

it’s beyond ridiculous that this is not paid HTB, but a player standing up in a tackle and legally disposing after what the ump deems to be one nanosecond too long IS paid HTB the holding the ball rule is completely broken

@Ryandally08 @HearGene Ffs you want it you pay for it

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese is now reportedly considering charging households up to $1.44 on their power bills to help expand the national EV charging network to help pay for infrastructure they may never use. One insider said “This won’t cost $1.49, more like $149 pa” Under the proposed model, electricity networks would be allowed to recover some of the cost of building public EV charging infrastructure through household power bills, with the impact estimated at between $0.79 and $1.44 a year from 2029. Remember when Albo said that he would cut our electricity bills by up to $275 if he was elected?

@nunyayp4p @LeiTyAus @RalphyHeraldSun Why couldnt they just draft the next best at 2 then match a bid on walker where it comes.. go into points deficit if needed

@LeiTyAus @RalphyHeraldSun Then they would have to draft Walker with the next pick to get the compo for shuffling down. Still better to pick another, then walker after bids and forgo the extra pick

If Richmond bid on Doug Cochrane first & the Blues’ early selection shuffles back in the order before their Cody Walker bid the AFL has told them they would not receive a bonus second round pick like other clubs. As you can imagine they aren’t very happy. How the Blues can still walk away with Walker & retain a first round pick 👇 heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/carl…

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out. Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything. The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found. I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about. I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left." I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message. I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet." Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you? I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.
