@Matt_Camenzuli “A place of health that cares for…” Why all the redundant pseudo mystical waffle? Like they are casting a spell. We know a hospital is a place. “Health care for…” maybe more to the point?

Don't worry Australia, they've fixed the name of the hospital in Adelaide. It prevents ambulance ramping.

@Ryandally08 “the biggest hope that they ever have is to work hard and buy a home of their own”?! People have all sorts of hopes and dreams. Who is he to state what their biggest hope “EVER” is? Nauseatingly presumptuous.

#BREAKING Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered a feeble defence of his Government’s tax policies, doubling down after days of criticism to declare the reforms are necessary to ensure “aspiration for all” Speaking at Victorian Labor’s annual conference on Saturday, Albanese doubled down about the need for controversial changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax and death taxes that were unveiled in this month’s federal budget. There had been speculation that Albanese was looking to backflip on some aspects of the budget, given how poorly it was received but last night, he signalled that Labor would plough ahead with the tax package overall and rubbished the broader backlash by saying that trusts were not an option for most Australians “working their guts out” So penalise the ones it is an option for? Albanese then spluttered “These Australians, millions of hardworking people, will never be able to access a trust. Never sat around a kitchen table and thought, have we thought of setting up a trust? I mean, seriously” “The biggest investment that the majority of Australians ever make and the biggest hope that they ever have is to work hard and buy a home of their own” Seemingly oblivious to the fact his new tax changes make that dream almost impossible. He then delivered this whopper to a few chuckles in the crowd: “Labor is the party of aspiration” Bizarrely, he then began to weep as he described how young people were going to auctions and competing with bidders who could afford to spend an extra $30,000 on a property because of the deductions they could claim on their tax. Again trying to justify himself. He continued “We will not allow Australia to become a country where aspiration is only for some” Well, Anthony I think you’re talking about yourself as the proud owner of 4 homes. The hypocrisy of this man is staggering.

@TheKouk They all are funded by taxpayer money; it’s absolutely reasonable and within our right to question and criticise. It’s not a private company that we can walk away from and buy somewhere else. They have a monopoly on our money. The they need to do much better, thank you very much.

We've helped 250,000 Australians buy their own home with a 5% deposit, and we're building 100,000 homes set aside just for them.

@MadsMelbourne Seems like enough though, to have their own trans-olympics. Every time and distance will be trans-records and achieve trans-first place. The way society should have been from the beginning. No losers, no winners. Just transistence.

"I think you need to take a Valium, take a Bex and have a lie down," Mr Petre told ABC News. A much-needed reality check for the ultra-wealthy crying about having to pay their fair share. Thank you Mr Petre. #auspol

@RightsLGBTI Transgender is just a feeling that hardened into a belief. Biological sex is not a feeling. It is the building block of human existence. Therefore it comes first ito rights and protections.

@RachaelWongAus @AFL The safety & fairness argument has merit, but it has been undermined by feminists who insist women are equal to men in all regards. The reality: women and men are unequal biological constructs. On physical matters, segregation is axiomatically proper, good & healthy for society.

@Matt_Camenzuli This is the result of an education system that teaches everyone is a winner. Where every little action is applauded. Where merit, mixed with mediocrity becomes meaningless. You balanced on one leg? Wow, you can be an astronaut!

@Lisa9Sophia Pathetic that she abuses her position to emotionally manipulate voters - some, even many will fall for it. She has not been elected to talk about herself and her family. She has been elected to represent voters: be honest, transparent and listen. Then act, less noisily.

Why is it Labor always try to pull in the heartstrings by banging on about their family’s trials and tribulations - but don’t care about other families suffering? Like the thousands of homeless families and veterans living in tents this winter because of Labor’s mass immigration? In reality is this some subversive way of bragging about how successful they’ve become? Or an attempt to make them more likeable? I’m not interested in your past @JacintaAllanMP. I’ve seen enough. All I want is for you to call an election

This photo was taken just before Dad lost his job. He started at the State Electricity Commission as a 19-year-old trainee liney. Back then, getting a job like that meant security. The way Dad puts it – it was a job for life. Not because it was easy, but because if you worked hard and learnt your trade, you could build a good life for your family. He worked storms, fires and floods. Long nights keeping the lights on for Victorian families. People looking out for one another. I saw all of that growing up. It felt permanent. Unbreakable. Until one day, I came home and Mum quietly said: ‘I think your dad lost his job.’ The Liberals had privatised the SEC and were cutting workers – and my dad paid the price. He was sitting in the back room on the fold out couch. Cordless phone in hand. I'd only heard him cry once before. That was the moment I understood what a secure job means to a family – and how quickly it can disappear if nobody fights for it. I’m still fighting for it. Today, I announced that my Labor Government is creating Australia’s first publicly-owned apprenticeship academy. 2,000 new apprentices building our energy future. And every single one of them will be employed by the State Electricity Commission. The Liberals switched the lights off on my dad's career – now, Labor is training young people to switch them back on. Like dad always said: if you don't fight, you lose. It's why I'll always fight for workers like him – for their dignity, for their future.

The 2026 Budget has triggered a political war over housing, wealth and who the Australian economy is really designed to serve. And it’s a political war manufactured by the mainstream media and vested interests.

David Bird (ASX Trader) B.Ed, CFTe
For decades, Australian house prices and wages moved fairly closely together. Then the capital gains tax discount came in around 1999. Since then, property prices have absolutely detached from income growth. People who already owned assets saw their wealth explode. People relying on wages got left behind. That’s why the divide today feels so big. It’s not just “work harder.” It’s asset inflation vs wage growth. And if you didn’t own assets during that period, catching up became dramatically harder.

@matt_barrie @OMGTheMess It’s projection. They are actually referring to the government’s aspirations. Which is like a see-saw: as it goes up, the aspirations of voters are pushed down.

Jacinta Price accusing the Prime Minister of using a grieving family for a “photo op” is a pretty extraordinary claim when the reality is she reportedly wasn’t invited to the funeral and community leaders had already made it clear she wasn’t welcome there. You can’t repeatedly position yourself against the views of many Indigenous organisations and communities, align with political movements that dismiss or attack Indigenous concerns, then suddenly present yourself as the spokesperson for cultural respect and community sentiment when it suits a political narrative. No Indigenous person speaks for all Aboriginal Australians and that includes Jacinta Price. Grief shouldn’t become a political performance from any side. But if community members themselves are saying who was and wasn’t welcome, that matters more than media outrage or partisan talking points.

@ellymelly They create solidarity among the population by dragging everyone down in the name of quality. People feel part of a big “in this mess together” tribe, taking their focus off politicians who continue to foster tribe cohesion while entrenching their power and benefits.

Labor won't be punished for burning millions on lavish travel expenses. Communists are never punished as long as they scatter loose change in the streets.
