I can understand why rich people vote Liberal. But I'm absolutely baffled why any low to middle income earner would. There are pensioners I've spoken to who are voting for LNP. Why? #auspol

Australia now has the world’s strongest economy and some of its weakest economic reporting. Coverage of the latest Federal Budget exposed just how far standards in Australia’s media have declined. The Budget data showed Australia remains one of the strongest-performing advanced economies on Earth. It is currently the only country with unemployment and inflation both below 4.7%, median adult wealth above US$250,000, triple-A credit ratings from all major agencies, moderate interest rates, and government debt below 25% of GDP. On top of that, the Budget introduced reforms aimed at tackling long-standing structural inequities changes that many economists argue were overdue. In most countries, results like these would dominate headlines and strengthen public confidence. Instead, much of Australia’s media responded with outrage, fear campaigns and ideological attacks. Headlines warned of “budget debacles”, “dire consequences”, “war on wealth”, and “further pain”, while largely ignoring Australia’s globally leading economic performance. Much of the commentary relied on the same recycled narratives that have dominated economic reporting for years narratives that often collapse under scrutiny. Claim: Living standards are falling. Reality: Living standards dipped globally after COVID, including in Australia, but key indicators have rebounded strongly since 2023. Australians are travelling overseas in record numbers, spending more on dining, retail and discretionary goods, and consumer activity has surged. Claim: Wages are going backwards. Reality: Real wages were hit during the inflation spike that followed the pandemic, but wage growth has now outpaced inflation. Since late 2023, wages, pensions and welfare payments have all risen faster than consumer prices. Claim: Australia is a high-tax country. Reality: Australia remains one of the lower-taxed advanced economies. The GST is just 10%, far below consumption taxes across much of Europe, while Australia’s total tax-to-GDP ratio sits near the bottom of the OECD. Claim: Labor keeps increasing taxes. Reality: IMF data places Australia among the lowest-taxing developed economies in both 2025 and 2026. Claim: Labor is anti-business. Reality: Business profits outside mining have reached record highs, while employment and expansion across many sectors continue to grow. Claim: Labor spends recklessly. Reality: Spending as a share of GDP under Anthony Albanese remains below levels seen under several previous governments, including the Morrison Government. Claim: Business investment is collapsing. Reality: Investment stagnated during the Coalition years but has resumed growth under the current government. The bigger issue is what this says about Australia’s media culture. Economic reporting increasingly resembles political campaigning rather than factual analysis. Too often, selective statistics, misleading framing and emotionally loaded commentary replace balanced reporting. When positive economic outcomes are ignored while fear and outrage dominate coverage, it damages public trust, distorts national debate and weakens social cohesion. Australia’s economy is not perfect. Productivity, housing affordability and inequality remain serious challenges. But pretending the country is in economic collapse despite internationally strong results does not inform the public. It misleads them.

@CroodBong I would've nailed him, proper.

@Scruffymurphy2 Ligit saw him walk into the road (multilevel carpark) right in front of me without looking. It was a microsecond between braking and the other option.

@Scruffymurphy2 @OunkaOnX 🎣Reeled in another one!

A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center "I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people." "Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground." "They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling." "They laughed all the time. Super sadistic." "Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long." Then she delivered her message to the world: "Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."

@OunkaOnX @Scruffymurphy2 Israel has handled this all wrong. The boats should be stopped, sunk, and the useful idiots on the "flotilla" should be taken to Gaza and left there.
