@MAKroscopic @FischerKing64 The first profession will be the last.

@GrahamY Sending getup volunteers to doorknock in farrer would be nothing short of disastrous. I don't know why they keep doing this or what anyone keeps paying them for it.

For an anti-capitalist crew GetUp sure know how to hustle. They'll let you know what they've learned from the Farrer by-election ($600K of failed campaign buys a few MBA's so it should be good), but you have to sign up to a trial subscription to the Saturday paper. I guess they get a commission.

@AvidCommentator Kicking myself I didn't buy more CF when it dipped to 115

Not hard to see Russian ammonia and fertiliser export limits getting extended or expanded.

@varuninvesting @JerryCap Don't bloody move it then. It gets right up my arse how Google ignores obvious glaring problems while shitting around with pointless interface updates

@JerryCap What a surprise…… We moved the plus button in Gmail when I was at Google and every customer panicked

"Changing our user interface is not what our customers want" $CSU

@disco___cat Also the cost of "addiction transfer", mainly to cheap cask wine and its attendant social consequences.

when the public health establishment has even lost Monique. This never needed to happen but they just could't help themselves push the policy from harm minimisation to outright punishment/prohibition. afr.com/politics/feder…

@ZaidJilani The elders of Doha pay me 500 riyals a week just to sit in the park and pretend to read the NYT

Israel is transfixed by deeply conspiratorial beliefs wherein the New York media is run by Arabs

@securitron_eth @NoelWhittaker not as good for asset protection either

@NoelWhittaker Section 100A still exists so you could run into trouble there because you then can’t ramp up distributions to someone with quite a bit of PSI. You also run into CGT problems there because you can’t dial up or down for changing circumstances (kids getting older etc).

The word in the street is it may be possible to reduce the impact of the punitive 30% tax on discretionary trusts by moving to a fixed trust. My tax experts tell me it was rather vague in the budget papers, and everybody's waiting for the next announcement from the government. Watch this space

@Potstirrer111 "it won't affect per say" - what midwit morons property investors are

What an absolute cunt some property investors are. No wonder everyone hates them. Tax them into oblivion Albo

@toy59496 I am pretty bearish on anything Australian, but if I had to, probably AR1 because the assets are already there, and I am genuinely excited for the Snow Queen prospect.

Two Companies for all your Wealth If you had to put all your wealth into two companies today on the ASX which ones would it be? Time scale 5 years. I'll do a deep dive on whatever seems to be most popular...

@bowtiedstocks @NoelWhittaker @hughriminton @OMGTheMess yeah but you should see how awesome the 19 year old is at book keeping. Her excel spreadsheet is easily worth 80K a year

@NoelWhittaker @hughriminton @OMGTheMess What do you mean strategy? Either they work in the business and get paid a wage or they don’t?

I'm running numbers on family trusts. If the trust owned by mum, dad, and 19-year-old daughter earns $180,000 a year and they distribute $60,000 to each the tax will be three times $9,000 = $27000. At 30% flat, it's $54,000. That's double - The only way out is to change distributions to wages, but they must be able to justify the wage. It's a shameful attack on business

@bowtiedstocks My sincere belief is that we will see Latin style favelas in Australian cities in the next 5 years. The tent cities will harden into shantytowns.

Many recent purchasers are about to be financially wiped out

@LouiChristopher The thing is poor people actually like going to some hole in the wall and paying $9 for a pack of Double Happiness - its one of the few opportunities they have to give the middle finger to the government.

Gov't fools think they can stop the cigarette black market by enforcement; using your money, of course.. People have been smoking for thousands of years, and they will keep smoking for thousands more. So keep the warnings on but reduce the tax. Reduce the tax rate enough and watch the black market crumble and aggregated tax revenues rise. It's that simple.

@IsraelMFA Who is the plaintiff? Who do you contend was defamed? An entire country? JFC, I thought you people had good lawyers.

Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

@bowtiedstocks Ive never voted Tory in my life, but this might be the first time.

Angus Taylor budget reply: - indexation of tax brackets - acknowledges the devastating impacts of reckless immigration levels on housing, infrastructure, services - will cap immigration based on number of homes constructed each year - immigration to be significantly below this limit for first few years to allow housing construction to catch up - will deliver one of biggest ever immigration cuts to this country - permanent visa holders requirement to learn English - will deport 70k visa overstayers This guy makes a hell of a lot of sense 👏 👏 👏

@john_macgowan @MickamiousG to be honest, with the turnover ASIS has the diversity is basically baked into the cake

@MickamiousG It is the agency that you actually need diversity in… you and I would look a bit out of place ordering a martini around Elysee SCBD in Jakarta…

Australia’s Secret Intelligence Service promoted “diversity” Wonder how this is going within their ranks instead of focusing on merit 🤔

@Iamwoma89798583 @Silverback_MD Its her right to get drunk, and her right to have the baby. She had fun. The baby may have FASD. If we cannot figure out how to prevent such behaviour through either social shaming or legal sanctions, we will ultimately be replaced by a culture more functional than ours.

@Silverback_MD What kind of doctor are you? This doesn't make sense. She's 5 weeks pregnant, probably didn't know when she was drinking. Now you're upset she chose to keep the baby instead of opting for the abortion you pushed for, because you and your doctor friends decided not to have kids.

Saw a patient. Woman in her 20s with an autosomal dominant genetic abnormality that has a 50% chance of being passed down. Newly pregnant. Had a bender over the weekend - over 15 drinks each day. Fetus only 5 weeks old. Highest amount of DNA damage at this stage. Undetectable with current tech. Explained that her genetic condition NOR alcohol fetal syndrome has no way of being detected prior to birth. The kid would potentially have a hard life. Stunted Neuro developmentally from birth due to the individual / personal choices of its parents. Will unlikely contribute to society She doesn’t have a concept of such hardship- there has always been a helping hand for her personal bad choices via Centrelink, DSP, NDIS Plans on having the kid. Father never attends appointments- is a drunk himself. Meanwhile… Entire group of doctors in my group chats putting off kids because we are simply too exhausted working 12 hour days and no “feeling” of getting ahead due to taxes, insurance payments, costs of running a practice. I wonder how many young professionals are in the same boat. Evolution is rolling over in its grave. Why are we promoting the procreation of the subpar in society while punishing our smartest and most productive? Where does this future lead? Is this an unkind truth that needs to be discussed? How long will we ignore the obvious staring us in the face ? Feels like some sort of collective societal delusion we are all going along with. This is how civilisations collapse I suppose.

@Aizenberg55 @nytimes @NickKristof This is like asking a human movement expert whether its possible for someone to shove an apple up their arse, when anyone working in an A&E ward could tell you that it is. x.com/theapedecays/s…

Two dog experts confirm it is impossible to train a dog to become aroused and anally penetrate a human on command. Medical journals only describe human initiated bestiality. The @nytimes @NickKristof did not fact check the story. This is how low anti-Israel discourse has fallen.

@Silverback_MD @vanessaghobson Dude are you thick or something. Read her message again.

@vanessaghobson Haha can't go out because we can't afford it. Can't flirt at work because it's "unprofessional". Such is life for millennials/gen X

lol My mates and I are doctors in our 20s/30s/40s starting off our careers. Absolutely everyone is gobsmacked at the budget changes. Genuinely feels like our generation will get punished for working smart or hard. None of us own investment properties yet - what’s the point now? How do we get ahead now? What was the financial incentive to sacrifice our 20s to train? It feels like all the worst aspects of communism with none of the benefits….. No incentivised housing/travel/childcare for doctors No one in my group is having kids Yet our alcoholic patients are on their 4th or 5th - supported via government programs What a joke Speedrunning civilisational demise

@JackoIsBack58 @ShackelWill Then it hasn't fallen. It just means that nuclear is growing, but more slowly than last year. He's either stupid or he's a liar.

@ShackelWill Silly nonsense Will. Clearly you don't understand the graphs. (They are showing the change in electricity generation by source from the previous year.)

Over half of the world’s nuclear power plants closed between 2024 and 2025 according to Australia’s Energy Minister. News to me.
