The similarities between the two are uncanny. Both were hard left high taxing big spending governments. Both failed to restrain their spending during an energy price shock (70s OPEC and Gulf crisis) Their overspending fueled inflation and caused a cost of living crisis and an unemployment spike. The people very quickly went from being fully supportive to outright hatred. Whitlam was sacked and lost the subsequent election by a landslide. Oh and they both had an incompetent treasurer named Jim.

Another Labor Politician thieving from the Australian Taxpayer.

Australian Labor now has 17 government employees for every 100 citizens — a level of bureaucracy that is seen in totalitarian regimes. china has only 6-8 employees per 100 employees Drain the swamp , this is where are tax$$ are going !@pwafork @OneNationAus @JNampijinpa

This could be next, including the family home in the assets test to stop the elderly with homes getting the pension.

Taylor: “Why did the Albanese Government lie to the Australian people about plans to tax them more?” Albanese: We have a 5% deposit scheme. You can’t make this up.

It’s time to clean up Victoria. We need to go to war with corruption. Boot Labor out Clean up the Unions Make the Public Service ‘public’ again

Labor clearly can’t defend why its CGT changes extend beyond property if the intent is to remove tax incentives for property. But I’m seeing a new wave of defence being that a) they only apply to the ‘wealthy’ and b) ‘small businesses’ are exempt – so let me tell you why these are categorically wrong. • The ‘wealth’ data is fundamentally flawed: It’s based on single year transaction data, rather than lifetime earnings. About 90% of Aussie taxpayers earn under 135k per year, so when an investor sells a long-held asset, that single transaction for a single year pushes them into the ‘top 10%’. This doesn’t mean they’re in the top 10% of wealthiest Aussies – it simply means that for that specific year, they earned over 135k, which could be off the back of decades of earning much less per year. • The small business concessions aren’t indexed: The $2m threshold for annual turnover and $6m threshold for asset value haven’t increased for almost 20 years (a problem that extends to many of our taxes). This means modest family businesses are being dragged into a tax regime originally designed for much larger operations – specifically, where it was designed to exempt 95% of businesses entities in 2007, it now only exempts about 60% in 2026 (and rapidly shrinking). • The path to building wealth is being cut off: Financial independence is rarely achieved by earning a wage and spending it. For people to become comfortable or modestly wealthy, they generally need to save and invest the wages they earn. Enforcing a minimum 30% floor rate on all forms of capital gains, even for people whose income puts them below the 30% marginal tax bracket, makes it harder for wage earners to build wealth. The bottom line is that this budget suppresses aspiration and socio-economic mobility – and I don’t think that’s what Aussies voted for at the last election.

And silence from the Australian PM and the ABC. Can't say a word that might jeopardise those Sydney Muslim votes, eh?

@SandyXiaotong @thejohngrist Is he singing that same bullshit again .. many of us grew up in housing commissions but he had rich Grandparents who sent him to private school .. he didn’t suffer or go without ..

I tend to talk about Singapore a lot because it's a technocratic society with people that lead who really do understand finance and the systems of society that make them wealthy. They have to because they have no natural resources, their only natural resource is the power of their minds and the collective will to make a better society. In Australia we get political hacks and unionists and a bunch of people that have often never worked in society. And it shows in the results...

"Flogging Labor’s budget this week, Albanese said that his proposed new minimum 30 per cent tax on capital gains is “fair” because it matches what the majority of workers pay on their income. For Chalmers, “one of the big principles in the budget is to try and better align the way that we tax people who work with people who earn their income in other legitimate ways”. The other legitimate ways involve capital. One of the hoariest myths in the socialist lexicon is that it’s “fair” to tax income from labour just the same as income from capital. This has its roots in the kind of class warfare and ideology we all thought had disappeared when the Berlin Wall fell. We had all hoped that while Albanese may have felt safe in telling the 1991 ALP national conference in a debate on inheritance tax that “accumulated income in the form of capital is for all socialists at least part of the source of many social injustices”, he had learned a bit more about the real world since then. Sadly, no. Neither Albanese nor Chalmers have learnt the lessons that a few years in the private sector, or a few years running a small business, might have taught them. Either they do not understand the difference between capital and income, or they are being deliberately duplicitous by ignoring the differences." credit @jkalbrechtsen

@realRick_AUS 2 weeks post his election win he commssioned the treasury to start working on it.

He’s a bloody, incompetent sook ..

“Capital gains are uncertain and require the taking of risk. Employment income is generally predictable, certain and risk free. It’s like the difference between equity and debt, one is high risk but potentially high reward (or no reward) while the other offers certainty and thus no upside or downside. No economically literate person suggests the cost of debt should be the same as the cost of equity. The Albanese-Chalmers taxation principle ignores human nature. Why would any sane person invest in a risky venture if the taxman treats you the same as if you invested in a risk free venture? And yet the two most senior politicians responsible for the Australian economy are touting as “reforms” the proposal that real capital gains be taxed at the same rate as income. Without some incentive to take risk or to innovate by investing capital, new business growth dies, and the economy suffers. If you doubt this, talk to some of the venture capitalists and start-up entrepreneurs who are dismayed by the budget changes to capital gains tax.” Brilliantly written by @jkalbrechtsen

So true! #auspol

Labor is removing the higher private health insurance rebate for Australians over 65. Modelling from Private Healthcare Australia shows some retirees could face premium increases three times higher than younger members. A couple over 70 with gold hospital cover could be hit with an extra $1,614 a year. Over 900,000 of those affected earn less than $55,000. These are people who did the right thing and kept private cover to take pressure off the public system. Now they're being punished for it. Because when Labor runs out of money, they come after yours.

A few months ago #BillyEdward’s wrote about Tony Burke, Australia's Minister for Home Affairs and Immigration. •Given what has happened in the last few weeks it is worth revisiting that post and updating it with what we now know. For those who missed the original here is the summary. Burke owns 6 investment properties while telling Australians that mass immigration is the solution to the housing crisis. •In the weeks before the 2025 federal election his department took control of citizenship ceremonies from local councils and swore in 12,500 new Australian citizens across 25 ceremonies concentrated in Labor held and marginal seats. •21 of those 25 ceremonies were in Labor held or marginal seats. •Liverpool Council confirmed 700 applications were rushed through specifically in the seat of Werriwa. The local Liberal mayor said they were stacking marginal seats better than Woolworths stacks shelves. Burke denied targeting •Labor seats then went on an Indian media podcast and bragged about running mass citizenship ceremonies before the election. •On that same podcast he said he wants to give citizenship to all 2.9 million people currently in Australia on temporary visas. •When he took over as Home Affairs Minister in July 2024 he cancelled zero visas on character grounds in his first month. Zero. •His predecessor had cancelled 77 in about a year under public pressure. •His predecessor's Ministerial Direction 99 had also allowed 66 criminal non citizens including rapists and child sex offenders to avoid deportation because of a promise Albanese made to Jacinda Ardern. •Burke inherited that mess and made it worse. Naveed Akram who carried out the Bondi Beach massacre on December 14 2025 killing 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration grew up in Burke's electorate of Watson. •He was first investigated by ASIO in 2019 as an associate of Islamic State supporters, assessed and cleared, then travelled to the southern Philippines for weapons training before murdering 15 Australians. •Fifteen people are dead and Burke says there are things he cannot say publicly due to suppression orders. Hizb ut-Tahrir which Burke himself has described since his first term in parliament as a radicalising organisation causing nothing but harm in the community still operates freely in Australia. •There are currently 77,000 people in Australia without valid visas on his watch. — Now here is the update. The ISIS brides situation which was flagged in the original post has now moved from a warning into a reality and the full picture is worse than what Burke has been telling the public. •In early May 2026 4 Australian women who had voluntarily left Australia to join or support Islamic State in Syria and their 9 children landed in Sydney and Melbourne. •Janai Safar was arrested at Sydney Airport. Kawsar Abbas and Zeinab Ahmad were arrested in Melbourne. Burke maintained publicly that the government had not assisted their return. Internal department notes from a June 2025 meeting tell a different story. •Those notes record that Burke gave a commitment to find a way to bring more of the cohort back to Australia. •He then asked the departmental staff member to leave the room so he could have a frank off the record discussion. •The head of the Home Affairs department attended that meeting. •A letter from Save the Children included a blacked out list of individuals to be repatriated. •The women arrived. Burke still maintains the government played no role. •Now as of May 20 2026 six more ISIS women and their children are expected to arrive within days. •There are 18 Australian passport holders still at the Al Roj camp in Syria. •One woman has a temporary exclusion order blocking her for 2 years. •The other 6 have no legal barrier. They are coming. The question that Burke has never answered is this. These women all travelled to the same declared area in Syria for the same reason to support the same listed terrorist organisation.

To all the self satisfied “modern men” who think themselves superior for NOT protecting women & children from men who transgress our boundaries- You are garden variety cowards- and will be remembered as such. To all the *actual* men, who make it their business to stand up FOR us & WITH us- thank you 💜🙏

@OsherFeldman @BenFordhamLive This shits me to tears, politicians get life time pensions funded by tax payers, why dont they scrap these and leave hard working aussies alone, c u n t s.
