Most of those ferociously complaining about the budget have never worked in public policy, never had to consider balancing the huge issues in a $800 billion a year budget, never implemented reforms that impact all 28 million Australians, never copped the public hate campaigns against them & their families. We are seeing the lid being lifted on the priorities of those people.

But they have never worked a day in the private sector; never started a business; built a new product or service; hired a single soul from their hip pocket; or struggled for years, always at risk of going under… What we are seeing is the lid being lifted on those who have always lived completely taxpayer-funded lives trying to take and tax as much as possible to feather the public sector nest. They have never known what it is like to draw a private wage and/or profit. They think it is a zero sum game: any private income, profit or capital gain needs to be redistributed back to government and its dependents. It is the only way they know how to make money: by taxing private citizens and corporations to fund the public oligarchy and its way of life…

@AshPolitik They are all bought and paid for? You just need to pick the one that will help you

@jb_jords @angelar68197975 Her rise is became on of the majors relentless attack on the middle class.
English
@angelar68197975 ON success is purely based off resentment to record immigration levels and shouldn’t be seen as anything else.
English
I’m sorry to say this, but everyone who intends voting for One Nation is a bloody idiot
She doesn’t have one policy that will help
Her policies are spurious, divisive, corrosive ineffective
All they do is feed her insatiable appetite for power & money
English
@angelar68197975 I will vote for ON not Pauline. Dobibthink anything will change? No but doing the same is not working for me.

@lesstenny It’s not misinformation, the only way to get off the work to you die train is investing. ALP just killed that. Nothing will change for the uber rich. It’s a tax on the middle class
English
how many people here knows a friend, a relative, family member who has been sucked in with the misinformation about the budget recently
I'm betting heaps, so easily fooled by financial institutions and MSM with vested interest
Unbelievable shit

@AshPolitik Labor does not care about us you muppet, they just more money to buy votes. LNP are the same. One system
English
Media bias in plain sight.
Redbridge predicts 76 seats to Labor. Complete LNP wipe out.
Media, using the, 70 of the 70 to 82 seat projection to spin hard and propagandise against Labor.
A once in a generation budget that smashes the status quo and the elitist establishment is sending them into unhinged spiral.

So now that all the nasty investors have been scared out of the market we should see massive auction clearance rates dominated by first homebuyers, yes?
English
@queemslander @MarcoBogaers It’s not being subsidised you muppet. It’s a disconnect on taxes you have to pay. If investors state investing overseas see how that helps Australian workers.
English
@MarcoBogaers You absolutely do not. A 50% CGT discount is you being subsidised by working people for investment gains. You wear most of the upside and the Australian worker has spent the last 20 years subsidising YOUR losses.
English
Claire, YOU are the investor, YOU absorb the "downside".
How entitled must you be to complain that working Australians aren't being forced to subsidise your investment losses??
"Buyer beware" is a fundamental principle of investing.
Claire Lehmann@clairlemon
@TheKouk Its not about the founders, its about investors. Why would any investor risk their capital in an Australian start-up if the government takes half of the upside while absorbing 0% of the downside?
English
@queemslander If Australians are smart they will invest in a country that wants its people to prosperous

@popgomouse @blowingtom2 It does not cost the government anything it’s out money not there’s.

@SimpnSimpn @blowingtom2 You better make your wish sooner. It costs government money and civil servant time to secure the fertilizers and diesel for Australian farmers.

Karl the moron thinks power can transmit without power lines. Shit like this hurts my brain.
Karl Stefanovic@karlstefanovic
Aussie farmers have had enough — and now they’re fighting back. Imagine strangers turning up and telling you they’ll rip through YOUR land with 80m towers and transmission lines. The land you work and call home. We went to Gundy to give these Aussies a voice. Karl Weekly, 5pm.

One Nation can't run a press conference, let alone a country. Attacking the free press is the first sign of fascism and erosion of Australian freedom and democracy. #auspol #politics #news #Australia #PaulineHanson

Can someone please explain in simple language why Australia shouldn't ban short term rentals like Airbnb? If we did that, it would free up literally thousands of houses and bring them back into the rental market & discourage investors owning multiple short term rental properties
English
@popgomouse @blowingtom2 At the end of the day the farmers should just turn off the food. The government ms shenanigans will stop quite quick.
English
@blowingtom2 @SimpnSimpn I have looked at many residential land titles, almost without exception there are easements in the title granting power network company access.
I suspect there maybe similar easements on farmland.

I wish he hadn’t said this.

Farmers across Australia are warning that hard caps on migration will hit food production and push grocery prices even higher.
Their message is pretty straightforward:
“If you want affordable food on the table, farms need workers.”
For years Australian agriculture has relied heavily on migrant labour to pick fruit, harvest crops, process food and keep regional farms operating. Many farmers are already struggling to fill these roles locally.
The reality is simple:
Less workers = lower food production.
Lower food production = higher prices at the checkout.
People can debate migration policy all they want, but the people actually growing Australia’s food are openly saying labour shortages are already hurting the industry.
At some point Australia has to answer a basic question:
Who exactly is going to do the work that keeps the country fed?

Some big housing news for the Sunshine State.
The Albanese Government is partnering with the Crisafulli Government to build 51,000 new homes in Queensland.
And, we’re setting aside 20,000 of those homes just for first home buyers.
More homes. More choices. More young Queenslanders getting a shot at owning a home.
