Iran-isn’t the obvious answer to militarily take control of the Strait of Hormuz and part fund cost of $50bn a year by obtaining contributions eg; from EU ($10bn), Middle East ($7bn), UK ($2bn), ASEAN/ Japan ($7bn), Other Americas ($4bn)

Bob Borbidge is right: any association with One Nation is toxic. They are not allies or friends of the Liberal Party. They feed on discontent. They have no solutions for the future of Australia.
The Albanese government has made a shock call to immediately axe negative gearing for new property investors in a major broken election promise.

An heir to Ray-Ban billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio’s business empire is challenging the approval process for a €10 billion family deal that would reshape control of EssilorLuxottica's biggest shareholder, sources say bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@FinancialReview Mass exodus likely to be mass exaggeration-the problem is high personal (exertion) tax rates in Australia and public finances that are out of control. These issues are driving the policy change and take precedence over a discount on a gain made flipping a second hand home.
@GeoffWilsonWAM Compounds at 15% - are individual Australian investors part of an early Buffett partnership? This is an impossibility if you are talking annual returns and absolutely misleading
Theft from aspirational Australians will be delivered in the budget next week. Young Aussie puts in $10k, compounds at 15% for 50 years → $10.84 million.
Inflation-indexed cost base: just $44k. Current CGT: $2.63M tax.
Labor’s new proposal: $5.23M tax.
They want to seize HALF your life’s work.
This isn’t tax reform — it’s theft from aspirational Australia.
Stop punishing success. #TaxRaid#AussieDreamKiller
@Retailinvester1@yannispappas Calling me a coward from behind a faceless profile? That’s rich. You’re so desperate for a win that you’re begging for my nationality because you can’t handle the argument. Stay mad and keep barking, nobody gives a fk about your validation
Greece laid the foundations of Western civilization, carried through Rome and Byzantium, fought off Ottomans, and handed Axis powers their first European loss. Maybe it’s time the US, EU and big business started treating it like more than a vacation spot. Nice.
@luka224486@yannispappas Again, just mention the country you are from, don’t need your life story, refusing to do so whilst dissing another country is the behaviour of a coward
@Retailinvester1@yannispappas Focusing on the origin of my name instead of addressing the economic data I provided is a classic logical fallacy. It’s clear you’ve run out of arguments. Let me know when you’re ready to discuss facts rather than my identity 🤫
@luka224486@yannispappas You didn’t answer the question twit, named after a Greek name, what country do you come from so we can compare its economic performance and evaluate how successful it’s been?
@Retailinvester1@yannispappas Resorting to your name is Greek' is the ultimate white flag for an idiot who has zero counter arguments for economic failure 😂🖕🏻
@Retailinvester1@yannispappas Imagine being so delusional that you mistake a 'dead cat bounce' for economic prowess. You lost 25% of your GDP and now you’re celebrating a tiny uptick while being the EU’s second poorest nation by purchasing power.
@sleepin_volk@yannispappas If you call USA great, a country which can’t beat drone attacks from Iran, which doesn’t even have a navy, then Houston, we have a problem
@yannispappas Keep living in your 2,500-year-old fairy tale, because your modern reality is nothing but being the EU’s bankrupt museum and a glorified resort where the only 'fighting' you do is over tips from tourists 🖕🏻
1. It was the Germans, Poles and Hungarians that stopped the Ottomans at the walls of Vienna. Then the Russians broke the Ottomans in 12 wars, not the Greeks.
2. Greece got independence in 1832 only after the British, Russian and French fleets wrecked the Ottomans in 1827 at the battle of Navarino.
3. The greatest Greek expansion was on the back of the Bulgarian army. While the Bulgarians kicked the Ottomans from Thessaloniki to the gates of Constantinople, Greeks and Serbians schemed and plotted.
4. Greece did not participate in WW1 till 1917. Even then there was a 150 000 British/French expeditionary force stationed in Greece.
5. Greece lost the last war to the dying state of the Ottoman Empire (1919-1922).
6. Do not even get me started on WW2. That victory you refer to was against the Italians who have even less military victories than the Greeks since the fall of the Roman Empire (yeah, I mean 1453).
But you make a good vacation spot.
