@Robkhouri "lying before an election to win government" - not a true thing.
English

Many times Angus Taylor was pressed on @730 Report to rule out a coalition with One Nation and repeatedly he said “there’s no plan” to do so. He refused to say “yes, I rule it out” These are weasel words.

@RositaDaz48 I’m sure they’ve assimilated into our school system with a wealth of knowledge to pass onto young teenagers 🔪

An accused Australian ISIS bride seeking freedom on bail had allegedly filmed herself training her toddlers how to use a rifle and demanded they show her how jihadist fighters "slaughter" an infidel.
The disturbing clips were not aired in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court because playing the footage would have distressed the 34-year-old accused, Rayann El Houli.
Instead, Ms El Houli teared up as harrowing transcripts of the videos she allegedly captured in Syria were read aloud.
She faces charges of being a member of a terrorist organisation and entering a declared conflict zone after allegedly fleeing Melbourne to join the caliphate in
Magistrate Brett Sonnet is expected to hand down his final decision on her release next week.
The court heard that over a two-year period, Ms El Houli allegedly recorded her young children being exposed to violent extremist media.
In one video from May 2015, Ms El Houli allegedly captured herself quizzing her eldest child - who was an toddler at the time - about Islamic State fighters while jihadi chants played in the background.
According to court transcripts, she asked the child who the “mujahidin” were and what happens to “disbelievers”.
When the child did not initially answer, Ms El Houli prompted them multiple times until the child repeated: “In the hellfire.”
In another video recorded in March 2016, Ms El Houli’s children – then aged just 2 years and 9 months, and 1 year and 9 months – were shown watching an ISIS media production. The footage featured a French jihadist singer and a commentator threatening to “fill your streets with terror” in the West.
During the screening, Ms El Houli’s youngest child was allegedly filmed raising her index finger in alignment with the commentary, before the accused asked: “What does the Mujahid do to the infidel?”
Raising the index finger in Islam is a gesture known as Tawhid, which signifies the indivisible oneness of God.
Only days later, Ms El Houli allegedly filmed her eldest child playing with a toy rifle. In the recording, she coached the toddler on how to hold the weapon like a “fighter” and asked: “Did you see how the Mujahideen kill the Kuffar (infidels) with the knife? Look at me. How did they slaughter them with the knife?
“Look at me, how do they slaughter the apostate? Show me how.”
According to police, Ms El Houli initially travelled to the conflict zone in September 2014 with her first husband, Allak Hamad, who was pictured carrying an automatic assault rifle before being killed in early 2015.
Ms El Houli then chose to enter into two more marriages with known Australian ISIS militants – Abdulkadehr Assaad (who was also killed) and Mohammed Noor Masri (whom she later divorced in an ISIS sharia court).

@Robkhouri @DrCraigEmerson @730 @AlboMP That is not what happened. And as it turns out, despite all the wailing online people are happy with the changes being made.
English

@Pom_Bazooka @DrCraigEmerson @730 @AlboMP Crap, you're deluded if you think lying before an election to win government, then ramming your long held ideals which have previously been rejected at an election is not a deal!
English

@Robkhouri @DrCraigEmerson @730 @AlboMP That’s not a deal - that’s called negotiating with the senate - something most governments have had to do (a government winning an upper house majority is rare by design).
English

Facts.
Since the budget, there has been a solid pick up in confidence in the Australian economy.
Consumer confidence is up 17% (Roy Morgan - ANZ measure) while business confidence is up 9 points.
Of course, both measures are still pessimistic; but the turning point is welcome news.
Suffice to say, the bleating of a few about how the budget measures will ruin the economy are hot air & not reflected in the way Australians see the economy.

@DerekFranc90653 @Outdoors199 Exactly! Trying to maintain a budget surplus at any cost to the economy and it won't end well.
English

@Robkhouri @Outdoors199 Absolute shit show, and to make matters worse, the government actually doesn’t care! More intent on lying and spin than doing policy that is good and helps us grow! Treasury told Chalmers new CGT a shit show on shares and he went ahead anyway!

This is a terrible impediment to growth, skill upgrades, information exchanges etc. Young people working overseas is one of the best ways they learn, get skill upgrades, enjoy themselves, become better people. Now they're taxed to the hilt doing it!

Another nasty #CGT surprise from @AlboMP & @JEChalmers Budget: Young Aussies doing the classic overseas stint, London, NYC, wherever now will lose the #CGT discount/indexation on their investments if they relinquish tax residency. This is straight-up taxing young Australians rite of passage. Punishing ambition and global experience. This insane #CGT must be stopped. We must Win the War on aspiration and stop the #CGT Link: afr.com/wealth/persona…

@DerekFranc90653 @Outdoors199 They've succeeded. The worst part about it is when you tell your clients they are subject to changes and need to get valuations or re-organise their tax affairs, they are stunned. The logistics of every asset being valued on 1.7.27 is laughable. As if you'd use ATO method, NOT!
English

@Robkhouri @Outdoors199 Government trying to increase taxes on anything that moves until it stops moving. Then they subsidise it.
English

@Robkhouri @DerekFranc90653 Yeah.
If you are kiwi on scv you're in a sweet spot. If not for pauline Hanson getting a citizenship isnt that beneficial. But these residency changes may remove those benefits and make it even more punitive.
English

@Outdoors199 @DerekFranc90653 The government has indicated that some detailed interactions involving changes in residency & foreign residents still to be addressed.
Residency is different to citizenship. Don't think they'd have a problem, but who knows with this nightmare?
English

@Robkhouri @DerekFranc90653 In what ways?
What about kiwis living here who aren't citizens yet?

Why is this wanker trying to sound like Gough Whitlam? Painful!

Personal use assets over $10,000, including engagement rings and family silverware, are now caught under the new rules. The legislation has passed but the definitions remain gray.
Accountants and valuers are telling clients they have twelve months to prepare and argue with the ATO if values are disputed. This is the compliance burden that most people are not yet paying attention to.
English

@ClareONeilMP And they now owe more to the bank than their homes are worth! Well done Labor, delivering a decline in net asset values to everyone!
English

@RizviAbul When universities have agreements in place with countries like China that no students should fail, I don’t think we need Taylor to spit it out!
English

Notice Taylor never says which standards were lowered that he would restore. The big driver of boom in net migration was students & WHMs. Perhaps a journalist should ask him?
Angus Taylor MP@AngusTaylorMP
Since Labor came to power, Australia’s migration program has been in chaos. Numbers have been too high and standards have been too low.
English

@wilma_domjan @TipperAnalytics No not family car. Solar system would be classified as part of residence.
Boats, campers etc are all tracked by registrations which ATO has access to, so will be interesting to see who declares the sale.
English

@Robkhouri @TipperAnalytics Does that include the family car ie a mini vs a Mercedes? Maybe a solar system on your house - would that be considered an asset?
English

Australia’s red tape has now moved from business to individuals. Consumers must prepare to pay for valuations on all their assets, from art and collectibles to personal use items above certain thresholds.
Art galleries are already registering as valuers because the new rules create a new revenue stream for them while adding compliance costs for everyone else.
This is the structural shift that many are still underestimating.
