@tim_blee @MarkDiStef Pretty sure the good (😬) Doctor was spruiking to all and sundry prices would not fall, just grow “less fast” 🤷♂️

@MarkDiStef Geezus, posting greedy Tom has triggered the BOT hate factories, big payout from Advance and Gina coming their way. They will be able to order in extra supplies of Kool Aid Powder and Ivermectin. Fancy government policy forcing down house prices, not on the geckos dance card.

You’re a disgrace

30 YEARS. WORST AUCTION DAY EVER! After 30 years in the auction industry, I’ve lived through recessions, the GFC and COVID. But today feels different. Two weeks in a row, zero registered bidders at auction, even after positive inflation news. It’s a reminder that confidence, not just interest rates, is what drives property markets. When buyers disappear, that’s a signal we can’t ignore. #marketwrap #realestate #australianrealestatemarket #propertymarket

@joeylynchy @ESPNAusNZ Nothing more surer than FFA being seduced by the cash. It’s like winning the lottery for them. As an aside FIFA need only 106 similar federations, like Solomon Islands or Barbados to think similarly and FIFA will get its way. UEFA are powerless.

@JEChalmers What are you so worried about who may govern and how in 2 years time??? How about putting your efforts into actually governing the country, for Australia and not solely on your crack pot ideology! Please

The Coalition can't win the next election without joining One Nation and today one of the Liberal Party's front benchers has confirmed that's their plan.
The next election will be a contest between Labor that's delivering real change with higher wages for workers and more help to get into housing or a Liberal-National-One Nation coalition with a big anti-worker agenda.
English
Labor is more democratic and more diverse than ever.
Our class of 2025 represents that - as does our movement.
And as we mark our 50th National Conference we continue our work to deliver real change for Australians.
English
@ianclarkeAU Its astounding, then add, NDIS, Medicare, Tobacco, Mortgage to the (alleged) corruption!
English
ALP corruption is responsible for the cost of new housing. The CFMEU asked Albo to abolish the body responsible for regulating the industry. Every Australian is part of an epic protection racket.
English
@TMFScottP Thats to December, fair to say that trend has gathered pace since one would think?
English
"Falls"...
... "to $1.73 million"!
An extraordinarily high number in a anyone's language.
More falls required for our young people.
English
This isn't a plan.
It's slogans.
Maybe the plan will be justified and worthwhile.
Maybe not.
But let's not pretend it's more than just a desperate set of slogans.
Angus Taylor MP@AngusTaylorMP
Lower taxes. Cheaper power. Less migration and more homes. Putting Australians first. These are our priorities to restore Australians’ standard of living and to protect our way of life.

@TheKouk I actually don’t fathom the absolute dribble that comes from your posts….. serious dribble. I have far better things to do with my time than to read this tripe. Bye, unfollowing.

FMD - yes, it is in part about budget repair & was there for all to see on 12 May.
It will still take time to fix the budget mess left from Josh Frydenberg who never once delivered a budget surplus & saw govt spending hit a peace time record high
Geoff Wilson@GeoffWilsonWAM
Treasury's own modelling reveals the new insane #CGT rules were always about revenue, not fairness: an extra $43bn ripped out of Australians' savings. They should have said so from the start. Don’t lie to us @AlboMP & @JEChalmers #ScrapTheCGTHeist @SkyNewsAust skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@TheKouk Thanks scoop. Wait till approval ex refi numbers are released!

The fall in house prices is looking to be more substantial than first thought.
If these trends remain in place for more than a few months, the economic fall out wil be huge.
Could also be a sign the labour market is seeing a severe deterioration - let's see labour force n Thurs

@DrCraigEmerson @730 You cant possibly be seriously saying this. Wow 🤡
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.
English
@TMFScottP With the last line the biggest and most damning failure!
English
A ginormous public policy failure.
A failure of regulation.
A failure of economics.
A failure of law enforcement.
And a failure to actually deal with the real issues, rather than look away because it's all too hard.

“Up to 4 in 5 cigarettes now smoked in Australia are illegal” 👇@swrighteconomy quotes tobacco commissioner Amber Shuhyta on how excise, cost of living and devious criminal syndicates have created a vicious black market. Oh .. by the way .. smoking will kill you.
English
@TheKouk @iwearahoodie Wow, that seriously can’t be your take?
English
@iwearahoodie Yes - a disaster: record low spending on infrastructure, record high tax and huge privatisations.
Any fuckwit can pay off debt selling the family jewels, neglecting infrastructure and taxing the shit out of the population.
We are correcting that legacy now

I am not sure people realise how trivially small the level of gross govt debt is, even as it hovers under $1 trillion.
There are $4.5 trillion in superannuation assets; $12 trillion in residential real estate; $3.5 trillion in the ASX. Annual GDP is $3 trillion.
I note that net govt debt is around $0.55 trillion - chook feed in other words
Stephen Koukoulas@TheKouk
Gross govt debt remains contained at $974.9b, tracking $7b below the estimate from the May 2026 budget & some $195b below the projected level of debt former Treasurer Frydenberg was aiming for in his last budget just prior to the 2022 election. According to Mr Frydenberg's last budget, gross debt would be $1.169 trillion on his policy settings which goes to highlight just how much improvement in the budget bottom line there has been in just 4 years. This govt is doing a great job containing the rise in govt debt despite the headwinds from subdued economic growth. youtube.com/watch?v=TyEqQL…

@RealMarkLatham Surely this is an AI spoof, not really a minister

@TMFScottP Just another example of writing policy flying by the seat of your pants with a pollster and a focus group in the same room.
English
I suspect the government really does care about the issue.
But I also suspect this is a convenient 'What can we announce / bring forward to move the narrative away from tax changes?' thing, too.
I'd love to be wrong, but past spin doctoring suggests otherwise.
English
@TheKouk Are you suggesting household income will be up 8-10% next year?
English
The improvement in housing affordability will be quite fantastic in 2027.
Prices off 7-10%.
Household incomes up 8-10% over two years.
Interest rate cuts.
English
@TMFScottP Lost faith is far too soft a statement for this mob, yet another example them just taking the piss……
English
Apparently people have lost faith in the major parties.
Couldn't be because of the constant spin, could it?
I mean, seriously - if they think people are buying this, they're kidding... and doing themselves harm in the process.
A straight take, instead: x.com/TMFScottP/stat…
Jim Chalmers MP@JEChalmers
BREAKING: New numbers from the ABS show that inflation has come down again for the second month in a row. Headline inflation was 4.0% in the 12 months to May, down from 4.2% in April. Today’s data was much better than market expectations and forecasts. We understand people are under pressure which is why we are rolling out responsible cost of living relief including cutting taxes five times in three ways, cheaper medicines and extending the cut to the fuel excise.
English
@TMFScottP Overlay this with revised clearance rate from last week and what are you thoughts on the next RBA meeting. I cant see a way how System Credit Growth isnt horrible in maybe July but def August, Sept.
English
Headline inflation down, but hiding the underlying increase, unfortunately.
Headline down from 4.2% to 4%.
But underlying up from 3.4% to 3.6%.
And the month's underlying was up from 0.3% to 0.4%.
This is a bad set of numbers, unfortunately.
