This is why your healthcare sucks. Most of the money is being used to create fake jobs for parasites.

@Matt_Camenzuli In a lot of countries the highest tax bracket goes up to 1M+ AUD

$49,296 is not a middle income. Yet in Australia it is taxed as though it is. It is in fact, the minimum wage. The tax brackets at the lower end are not set high enough, and it was never the intention of the creators of the progressive tax system, to punish the lowest income earners in this way. To give this context, the average rental in Australia costs $33,800 a year. It costs about $5,896.80 per year to fuel the car once a week on today’s prices. That is $39,696.80 before tax is even considered, and then there is the small matter of food and incidentals like clothing. A person earning minimum wage in Australia today will pay $6302 in taxes and Medicare levy. So, after rent, fuel and taxes, there is just $3297.20 to live. That’s $63.40 cents a week - better pray that rental has free electricity. Back in the 80’s, the minimum wage was closer to $12,000 and the tax-free threshold was closer to half that amount, the rest of the wage fell into the next bracket not the middle bracket like it does today. Back then we refined our own fuel and had the cheapest electricity in the world. Purchasing power was much higher, and a family could live on that single income. Today, a household wouldn’t survive on one wage. Even a couple, both earning minimum wage would struggle to rent in a capital city. After living expenses and tax, there would hardly be enough left to put a bung in a flat tyre. Heaven forbid the fridge packing it in. No wonder we have a birthrate crisis. No wonder we have a loneliness epidemic. No wonder people are just so sad. The greatest insult to the worker on minimum wage, paying tax as a middle-income earner in this impossible environment is - without a doubt - watching the government waste the money. Watching Ministers blow their travel allowances and funding the waste in the NDIS is just too much to take. It isn’t fair. The Parliament must urgently address this problem. Tax brackets need to be completely redrafted, especially on the lower end of the spectrum where every single dollar counts. The big borrowing, big spending Dr. Chalmers must learn to live within his means and find savings – just like the rest of us. It’s tough. I just want Australia back.

It's funny how AI has made white collar work 10x faster already but there's been basically no economic impact from it. The reason is quite simple: 1. Most white collar work is bullshit, so speeding it up by 10x still equals a pile of bullshit at the end 2. Most white collar employees are using AI to do all their work for the week in 4 hours instead of 40, whilst telling their manager the deadline is still 40 hours away We have been living in a fake economy for the better part of two decades. It is all a fugazi. People who do real jobs in the real world get paid comparatively crap, and people who do fake jobs in the fiat Ponzi world get paid just enough fiat currency to pretend they are important. None of it amounts to anything productive nor valuable for the world though. An entire generation doing fake email jobs, slide decks and excel sheets for corporations who ultimately produce nothing.

Someone is using AI to make babies do stand up comedy. We are cooked.

Bugger the $275 , this halfwit Albanese reckons you can charge your Chinese EV at night with solar.

No amount of propaganda has radicalized me more than old archived footage. Looks like heaven compared to now

🚨 VANCE JUST ASKED THE QUESTION EUROPE IS TERRIFIED OF 🚨 JD Vance skipped the fake smiles, the diplomatic fluff, the “shared values” slogans… and went straight for the jugular. How can Europe pretend it stands with America while throwing people in prison for what they post online? His line hit like a hammer: “Do you really think American taxpayers will tolerate it if someone gets jailed in Germany for a mean tweet?” Exactly. You can’t claim a partnership while: • Arresting citizens for saying the “wrong” thing • Criminalizing border debates • Canceling elections you don’t like • Silencing voters instead of trusting them Call it what it is: not democracy — insecurity dressed up as policy. Vance said the part every diplomat is too scared to say out loud: Real alliances require real values. Free speech isn’t optional. It’s the foundation. America didn’t shed blood defending Europe so Europe could jail its own people for their opinions. And that’s why this moment hit so hard: because every word of it was true.

They want to ban your car, tax every breath you take, and kill industry…🔥 While China & India drown the oceans in plastic and pump endless coal smoke. “This whole Green Deal is one giant scam for power & profit.” Slovak MEP just went nuclear in the EU Parliament Who else is sick of this hypocrisy?

Here’s a reminder of the BOM’s previous handiwork of upgrading their website. Back in 1924, the remote Western Australian town of Marble recorded the histories longest recorded heatwave. For 160 days, from 31st Oct 1923 to 7th April 1924 the official temperature at Marble Bar reached or exceed the old century mark, 100°F (37.8°C) - something that has never happened since anywhere in the world. ThIs record used to be (up until 14th May 2013) celebrated on the Bureau of Meteorology’s website in the section “Climate Education". It was more than a historic climate record, as it stood as a tribute and testimony to the endurance & spirit of Australia‘s pioneers that helped develop our nation’s mineral resources that underwrite our prosperity today. However a record heatwave back in 1923/4 is sacrilege to religion of the climate cult - so the Bureau of Metrology set to work to remedy this situation. How can you convince people to engage in acts of self harm to stop "global warming" - when the world’s longest heatwave occurred back in 1923/24 ? From a desk in Canberra in 2013, 90 years after the original temperature measurements were recorded at Marble Bar, just like in a scene of the Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s 1984, the BOM set about rewriting our history by tampering with the historical record. The BOM went through the daily temperatures original recorded at Marble Bar and using their secret "homogenisation" process tampered with the data to reduce the average maximum daily temperatures from 1910 to 1944 by -0.52°C. The world record for the longest heatwave of 160 days over 100°F (37.8°C) was extinguished because the BOM magically adjusted the original temperature of 38.2°C recorded on 8th March 1924 - and recalculated that it was only 36.5°C, some 1.7°C cooler. So someone sitting in their air-conditioned taxpayer funded office in Canberra decided that the person who was record the temperatures back on 8th March 1924 got it wrong by 1.7°C And after re-writing history, the BOM quietly deleted their Climate Education page - and the record heatwave of 1923/24 was sent down a memory hole. Winston would be proud. And yet the Liberal Party shut down an inquiry into the BOM when Tony Abbott won office (breaking an election promise) enabling the BOM to avoid being held to account. And today some wonder why the BOM thought it could get away with paying $ 100 million to mates for a website upgrade. web.archive.org/web/2013051402… bom.gov.au/lam/climate/le… joannenova.com.au/2020/02/acorn-… 2gb.com/outback-austra… ipa.org.au/publications-i…

The Labor Government just signed an agreement to "transition away from fossil fuels" - that is to end Australia's second (coal) and third (gas) largest exports. Net zero is a plan that will make Australians poorer. Worse, they signed this agreement with just 24 countries (see map), which make up less than 10% of world GDP. None of the co-signatories are in the top 15 of Australia's trading partners. Why would Labor put us so out of step with the rest of the world on the use of our energy? If you work in or rely on the coal and gas industries, Labor is happy to sell you down a river to burnish their green cred.

This tiny white square is man-made CO2: 0.0016% of the atmosphere. They’re taxing you, robbing your income, and enslaving your life over something essential for plants and a greener planet. Climate alarmism isn’t science, but a global scam. Wake the fvck up already!

E-safety commissioner Julie Inman Grant has been ordered before US congress, accused of being a zealot and her online safety act directly threatening American speech. Will the USA just take her back from us? We don’t want her here! 😡😡

They lied about Oil running out! 🤬 They lied about the Ozone layer 🤬 They lied about the Ice shelf melting 🤬 They lied about the "Great Barrier Reef" shrinking 🤬 They lied about "Fossil Fuels" 🤬 They lied about Chemtrails 🤬 They lied about Geo-Engineering 🤬 They lied about Stratospheric Aerosol Injection 🤬 They lied about Polar Bear numbers reducing 🤬 They lied about Sea Level Rises 🤬 They lied about Antarctica 🤬 They lied about CO2 🤬 They lied about Man-Made Climate Change 🤬 What else are they lying about? Do you still believe them on NET ZERO! 🤔😀🤣

Australians today looking just to buy a Home have really no idea how different it was…. The problem is - who is responsible for what was then to what is today ?! We had it all…

Australia’s productivity growth is not only the 2nd worst in the OECD, it’s going backwards. 🔴But what do you expect when we have clueless politicians "picking winners" and directing investment into wasteful projects in the name of Net Zero ? 🔴What do you expect when we are only nation in world closing down our base load power and attempting to replace it with weather dependent intermittent generation (solar & wind). 🔴What do you expect when we have surrendered our nation’s competitive advantage low cost energy from coal. 🔴What do you expect when 80% of new jobs come from government spending 🔴What do you expect when we have the largest and fastest growing government bureaucracy in the world. 🔴What you expect when had one of the highest rates of covid injections in the world, injuring and disabling so many people. 🔴What do you expect when we’ve developed a culture hostile to entrepreneurship. 🔴What do you expect when so many people vote for whoever will promise them more "free stuff" But at least we beat Mexico. afr.com/policy/economy…

List of countries with no capital gains tax: - Singapore - Switzerland - Hong Kong - New Zealand - Turkey - UAE - Malaysia - El Salvador - Belize - Thailand The Australian mind is too cucked to comprehend this.

If wind and solar is so cheap, why does every country that install lots of it end up with higher power prices?

Can someone please explain how deindustrialization of the UK and Germany will save the planet? I really struggle to understand why they sacrifice their industries and jobs only to outsource production to China which causes more global emissions. Does it make any sense to you?
