What are the reasons someone would buy a ICE car in 2026?

@tompanos Tom I liked your content before you started talking about policy. I want to hear auction day stories and results pls.

The idea that rents would only rise by $2 a week after major housing tax reforms is detached from what’s actually happening on the ground. In real life, when supply tightens and investors pull back, rents don’t gently tiptoe higher. They jump. #HousingCrisis

@SDembraski I don’t even use a screen protector on my phone.

Ive had multiple Tesla's. I have never put a screen protector on. I honestly haven't seen the need for it. I wanted to ask others out there. Do you have a screen protector on your main screen? If so is it worth it?

@Peter_Fitz Only EV worth buying is Tesla.

Friends, I gather the waiting list to buy an EV in Oz has blown out in recent weeks, yes? Is that your experience? I only have it anecdotally.

@PaulineHansonOz Can't you hire more staff and pay the wages out of donations you receive?

I want to apologise to people who have tried to get in touch with my office and haven’t received a response. We are being inundated with thousands of calls, emails and messages every week and it’s not possible to respond to all of them. The Albanese government cut the staff allocation to One Nation after the last election. I have been going to both the Prime Minister and Special Minister of State Don Farrell since the staff cuts. I have been begging and pleading with them to give us more staff to deal with the heavy workload. In fact, earlier this year a staff member wrote to the Prime Minister directly, explaining the extreme stress they are under. Labor hasn’t even responded and couldn’t care less. My staff have continued out of loyalty, and they want to help the Australian people but their health has now become a serious issue. As the leader of One Nation, I have 5 Electorate officers and just 2 Parliamentary Advisers. The Leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, has 5 electorate officers and 15 Advisers. The Prime Minister has 59 personal Advisers. Adding his other Ministers, the Government employs a total of 504 personal Advisers. This is in addition to the 1,200+ employees in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet alone and 185,000 employed by the Government as bureaucrats in the public service. This is the Prime Minister using his powers to disadvantage his political opponents who don’t agree with his agenda. My office deals with people in very difficult situations, complicated family law, immigration, NDIS, veterans and welfare plus many other matters. The Australian people’s personal struggles are worse than ever – my staff have had to talk people down from the edge of taking their own lives. Many people come to us because they get absolutely no assistance from the government and many other political offices. It’s beyond a joke the lack of help that Labor is providing considering I would have one of the busiest political offices in the country. I didn’t want to air this out in public, but this Albanese government has given me no choice It’s not that we don’t want to do the work for the Australian people, it’s that we physically can’t. My staff want to help this country and the people in it, but they’re so stressed they are close to collapsing. I am the leader of a political party that is polling more than major political parties. The government has failed to staff One Nation anywhere close to a functional level. This is pure, bloody-minded politics by the Labor party. I’ve tried everything I can to help people and will continue to do so, but my hands are tied. The Labor party like to go on about the battlers. Well I’ve got some in my office trying to do a decent job for many Australians, but they don’t care about them.

@BITCOINFUNDMGR Starting to sound like a broken clock.

@bowtiedstocks You'll still be taxed the same regarless, if you're an Aussie resiedent.

Make Australia such a shitty destination for investment capital that he’s tempted to put it into the S&P 500 at 27x earnings

@teslaretire Good to know, I was in two minds but now that I have the VIN i'm committed.

@MrMomand The red looks really good in real life.

My Model YL is finally home! Such a massive upgrade for me coming from a HW3 Model 3. I definitely need some time to get used to the size of the vehicle, the turning, and the missing stalk. With FSD, hopefully I won’t have to handle all of that myself for too long — please come sooner! My two kids love it and already want to play inside the car, but of course, that’s not allowed. My wife originally thought Cosmic Silver would be better, but once she saw the Red in real life, she had no complaints. Red Comet, welcome home!

The new limits on negative gearing changes are estimated to impact roughly 13.5% of property investors (around 306,300 people), which equates to just over 1% of the total Australian population.

@TaxPawspective This scenario only applies to less than 0.01% of the population. The tax initiative the Labor gov announced is targeting the top 10% of earners who pull in more than half of the capital gains nationwide.

Ash is plain wrong 👇 Say he founded a company with $1,000. After a decade of building its business, he sells for $5m. If Ash’s $1,000 cost was indexed to $10,000, his tax on the $4.99m capital gain is $2,316,138 (using 2026 tax rates). That is a 46.32% tax rate.

@_S_h_a_n_e_o_ Most people can barely hold a stock more than 5 minutes anyway. They call this investing.

The CGT discount exists because share investing has risk, ties up your money for years, and you pay tax on a lump sum capital gain = not regular income That one off gain can push your entire amount into a higher tax bracket, unlike your normal salary. The discount balances that.

@AshPolitik The other misconception is that Negative Gearing is abolished. Its just delayed.

You'll never pay 47% tax on nominal capital gains. Top marginal rates pay effective rate of 27.3% on 5yr hold 30.1% on 10yr hold One of the lowest rates in the world. Other countries tax the whole gain, Australia doesnt. Facts matter over your ideological game.

@tomzhu_nz Ultra Red - The only colour that stands out.

Congrats to our MY L owners in Singapore!

@netz_melb Then why does tax incentives increase prices? as in 1999.

Anthony Albanese's changes to negative gearing and CGT will have no effect on housing affordability. It's all about supply & demand. There's too much demand & not enough supply. He's using the smokescreen of house prices to fulfill his fantasy of wealth redistribution. #auspol

Labor's negative gearing reform was sold as intergenerational fairness. In practice: The first-time investor loses the tax deduction from salary income on their losses. The investor with an existing portfolio absorbs the loss into their other rent and keeps the deduction. The aspirational pay. The already-wealthy don't.

Who benefits from Australia's 50% CGT discount (2022–23, Treasury) Top 10% of earners: get 86% of the benefit Top 20%: get 89% Over-60s: get 52% 18–34 year olds: just 4% Avg benefit to top earners: $86,000+ Avg benefit to bottom 60%: ~$5,000 ie - the young do not benefit from CGT disc

@greenytrades Don't sweat it x.com/MrMomand/statu…

Aussie Boomers: Free uni. Cheap houses. Negative gearing. 50% CGT discount. Aussies Now: HECS debt. 10x salary house prices. No negative gearing. No CGT discount. Don't ask why young Aussies are angry. Ask why it took us this long.
