A tax system full of loopholes rewards people who can game it.
A simple low-tax system with fewer deductions would be fairer, harder to dodge, and better for growth.
What would be the first tax you got rid of?
@MarkoMatvikov Voting for One Nation is basically guaranteeing Labor wins. Complete waste of a vote.
The ALP deserved to win but we also deserve a proper opposition rather than going full retard on ONP
The polling ahead of the South Australian election turned out to be accurate.
Labor won in a landslide, Liberals got decimated, One Nation is the new opposition.
The right side of politics is still fracturing - it hasn’t even begun the reorganisation phase yet.
@cmdibley@AlboMP Radical islamists like hamas and Iran, kill gays, subjugate women, shoot protesters and fund terrorism. Yet the loony left support them. You useful idiots will be the first against the wall if they ever take over
Just to be clear @AlboMP the people who booed you yesterday & told you to leave did so because they don’t like YOU. They’re not terrorist supporters as you claim, they are grieving people watching their families & fellow countrymen being murdered with support from YOU.
@KarenAldridge1@abcnews Really sorry to hear that. How about trying 730 for a week? My colleagues do fantastic work and I think you’ll find it thought provoking. Just my pitch.
Working for @abcnews is a privilege that I never take for granted.
But too many of my colleagues struggle with insecure work & little or no pay progression.
We're taking industrial action today to call for a fair Enterprise Agreement.

@BoyGeorge@JeffDye The kids might be gay but doesn't mean they were born in the wrong body. What's wrong with having a gay kid anyway? They don't need to be transformed. It's homophobic
@JeffDye Absolutely misinformed rubbish. No parent hopes or plans for their child to be anything but happy and safe. There have and always will be kids who are 'trans' and the kids always inform the adults. No Adult tries to make any kid 'trans'. Scaremongering crap.
Dear @AlboMP. I'm sorry you and Tony Burke were nearly lynched at Lakemba Mosque this morning. I guess issuing 3,000 visas to Gaza, recognising 'Palestine' and throwing millions of dollars at certain groups didn't pay off.
On behalf of the Jewish Community, I'd like to invite you to any Synagogue in the country tonight for the Friday night service. Sure, a huge number of the Jewish Community are deeply upset at you and disgusted by the direction of this country. Really, really upset. However beyond some murmurs from the crowd you won't be in any actual danger. None.
You'll even get a glass of wine and you can even leave your police protection detail outside. Or in the car as usual because they know you would be safer inside a Synagogue than walking through Bondi. Plus they will get to keep their boots on this time!
If you'd like, you can address the congregation. Perhaps a line or two about 'social cohesion' or perhaps the huge contribution the Jewish Community have made to Australia. Maybe something about Passover. That always plays well.
Or perhaps announce you're chucking another few million dollars at Jewish security, rather than chucking a few people out of the country.
Anyway, let me know what time we can expect you.
Good shabbos.

Every time there’s a war or crisis, the price of petrol, food, energy and housing go up - and so do the profits for the corporations that sell them.
That’s no coincidence. It’s the system working as designed.
Billionaires sent us to war, and everyday people are paying for it.
This week, I spoke at the AIIA on the global assault on journalism.
Worldwide we are seeing laws & courts weaponised to silence scrutiny, including in Australia. When journalism weakens, accountability follows. This isn't just about media - it's about democracy.
I've written to the PM offering to pass a 25% gas export tax in the next two weeks.
Rich gas corps are making billions off this war, get gas for free, and pay almost no tax. That's money better spent helping people.
No more free ride for gas corps while people go backwards.
@Ryandally08 He should adopt one nation's immigration policies like the danish social democrats did. This is what ppl want and if we ignore it we'll end up with nutbags running the country
#BREAKING Anthony Albanese says the rise of One Nation in the polls is due to its supporters wanting “Australia to go back to the 1950’s” and for “the population to look like that”
Before adding “that’s not going to happen”

Making public transport free, for as long as this crisis goes on for, must be on the table at National Cabinet today.
This would be immediate cost-of-living relief, and take the pressure off fuel supplies.
Billionaires took us to war, and the rest of us are paying for it.

Have seen some strange things but Gina Rinehart - who has amassed a $40b pile digging up taxpayer owned Aussie iron ore - singing about being a proud American whilst hosting Rita Panahi’s 50th birthday party on a boat near Mar a Lago is right up there.
It's almost impossible to imagine today, but 50 years ago, Beirut and Tehran were major stops on the hippie trail. They were bastions of freedom and creativity young people traveled to in search of themselves, while fleeing the constricting societies of the West...
Let me get this straight...
$ billions in subsidies for BHP and Gina is fine but...
...money for disabled care, pensioners, Aussies out of a job is "unaffordable"...?
