@BenDon05 Didn't it becomes the AFL because you guys and the VFL were broke? Made the bears and west coast pay 2m each to enter the league and bail you all out?
English
What the modern AFL seem to have forgotten is that Coll, Carl, Ess and Rich’s huge followings are the reason the VFL became the AFL.
Now they’re taking our clubs’ advantages away and giving it to clubs with no following (GC, GWS, BNE, SYD)…assuming we’ll stay loyal to the code
Absolutely Essendon@absoessendon
With its seemingly endless tinkering of rules and fake equalisation policies, its bizarrely dysfunctional fixtures and obsession with its northern states battle with the NRL is the AFL finally about to destroy one of the best sporting products in the world #essendon #afl #carlton

@Ben_Davison1 @ak_pennington So who pays for the costs of the infrastructure. I get the feeling that this is just going to be added to prices by stealth
English
@hillierme @ak_pennington They won’t be able to charge the fee. That’s why the RBA needed to set the policy. They have authority over transactions between financial institutions.

An example of how gov’t can use its power to reduce inflation.

BREAKING: Australians will no longer pay $1.6bn in card surcharges from October 1. People shouldn’t be punished for using a credit or debit card. That's why the Reserve Bank will today take steps to end credit and debit card surcharging from October 1. This change will make a meaningful difference with Australians no longer paying $1.6 bn a year in surcharges, and small businesses will save $910m.

@simonahac @HaydenJOConnor BHP, Rio, FMG all get more than Gina. As do all the gold miners, lithium miners etc.
It's a rebate as they don't use the roads...not an exception.
English
congratulations punters! for 3 months you'll get 1/2 the discount on fuel excise that gina gets every day!
(i support fuel excise exemptions for farmers & small-medium businesses, but any business claiming they *need* more than $50m in exemptions is having a lend of taxpayers.)

@TMFScottP @PeteWargent This can be done for basically 0.1% with technology now. This is just a lazy tax.

Absolute highway robbery from Amex on credit card currency conversion fees.

@TheKouk @TMFScottP Guess it is dumb government policy now. Kouk, assume you agree.

The economic policy horror of cutting the petrol excise:
1. It damages the budget
2. It stimulates spending
3. It makes the petrol shortage - to the extent there is one - more acute
Dumb policy ideas need to be called out

@AshPolitik @JaneCaro And the ALP has had 4 yrs to do something and didn't.
English
Australia voted against Labor securing a proper fuel reserve
Bill Shorten@billshortenvcuc
A national fuel reserve was another Labor idea the Morrison Government made a cheap knock off version of. It’s time for the real thing.
English
Labor fought to keep refineries open, The conservative Coalition let them close.
Richard Marles@RichardMarlesMP
The closure of ExxonMobil oil refinery at Altona is devastating news for hundreds of local workers and for the future of Australia’s fuel security. It’s further proof that the Government has no plan for the workers or industry affected by these decisions.
English
@AshPolitik @Ben_Davison1 Sorry, but the ALP has had 4 or 5 yrs to do something. Can't pass the buck on this one.
English
2019 was pivotal election Australian voters failed the future. The future is now.
Bill Shorten@billshortenvcuc
Later today I will announce Labor's plans to boost our national and economic security with a government-owned National Fuel Reserve.

@tarasdi @NatedawgO7 The US adjusts for inflation yearly.
We don't - so the political class can pretend they are giving us a tax cut.
English
If so then I want my income tax adjusted for inflation every year too then. Oh no it’s only ok for those with multiple investment properties to get that…in a housing crisis
Institute of Public Affairs@TheIPA
“The 50% capital gains ‘discount’ isn’t always a discount.” When inflation eats into your gains, the real tax burden can actually be higher. Adam Creighton tells you the truth about capital gains tax. 📺 Watch more at the link in our bio: bit.ly/4rW4w2v

@ProfRowan_ @purplepingers Relieves cost of living for the entire population while slightly decreasing the profits of a single company within your governance.
English
Crazy that even when the government intervened to massively increase supply here by releasing reserves, and the price of fuel plummeted a few days ago - prices at the servos are still skyrocketing. Instead of regulating prices or taxing these huge profits, Labor is like - what if we subsidise these profiteering companies EVEN MORE? That should do it hey
Anthony Albanese@AlboMP
We're setting up new powers to keep fuel flowing for Australians.
English
@purplepingers If you regulate the price, and we have to import everything how does that increase supply.

Error on the new today....silver was $661 not $66.10

@mcdonellaussie @1116sen @tommorris32 @SENBreakfast If you are made redundant (which is basically the same as the bullet in the AFL) you get it paid out.
I guess my point is - no one walks away with zero $$$ if their contract isn't renewed. King doesn't get Aussie labour law.
English
@hillierme @1116sen @tommorris32 @SENBreakfast 3 months is for ten years. Most workplaces is a pro rata & can be taken after 7 years. Some even less.

.@tommorris32 discusses the push from the AFL Coaches Association to the AFL that coaches begin to receive long service leave in the future.
