@DrewPavlou @PeteZogoulas These fuck wits are very quickly forgetting that they work for us, not the other way around.

Mehreen Faruqi called the police on @PeteZogoulas when he asked her why she voted no to investigating NDIS fraud 😭😭😭

@Matt_Camenzuli Honestly... these politicians can fuck right off.
They are on the public titt for life yet the average Joe/Jane cant work hard to improve family wealth.
Productivity will hit the skids very very hard soon.
Cash & Precious metals will become very important again.

Do you support the idea of a 27% death tax on your estate?
English
@1Swinging_Voter At what point are do they become an illegitimate government?.
None of the upcoming taxation changes were voted on at the last election. In fact they outright lied to the population.
Does the government general now have to act?

This is why Albanese and Labor hate social media.
WE HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS.
#PERTHNEWS When Albo gives his little speech in WA today .... someone remind him of this.
#AUSPOL He is a LIAR.

@DirtMccGirt @ellymelly Simple.
Remove CGT discounts and negative gearing from property.
Lower company tax rates to 20%
Encourage private industry productivity.
Very simple but will work very well.

@ellymelly What’s your plan, if any, to boost home ownership rates?
Whinging without solutions is easy.
English
Message to Jim Chalmers:
Stealing from people's home-ownership profit, investment portfolios, superannuation, and income tax does not 'solve intergenerational wealth gaps'.
It means parents have nothing left to give their kids - because the government took it all.
It means young people have no reason to buy a house or invest in shares - because they know the government will take it all.
And it means the retirement plan forced upon them by the unions will be gone before they die - because the government wants to take it all.
Labor is CREATING INTER-GENERATIONAL POVERTY.

A deadly new flu strain is coming for Queensland, but just five per cent of people under 50 are vaccinated. Our top doctors say leaders need to roll up their sleeves to help protect a state, lagging behind the rest of the nation.

@ShackelWill It should be illegal to rig initial estimate numbers for public construction projects.
English
$42 billion for a battery, but nuclear energy is soooooo expensive it should stay illegal?
You could build around 4 large reactors or 8 small modular reactors from the money spent on Snowy Hydro (based on even the CSIRO's numbers).
One's legal, the other isn't.

NDIS RORTS AND FRAUD: Only now has health minister Mark Butler discovered that NDIS has blown out by $13 BILLION DOLLARS since DECEMBER! Are you kidding me!? How incompetent do you have to be to miss that! Who got sacked? No one. It’s all fraud and rorts for Western Sydney votes.

@matt_barrie Id strongly recommend an oxygen intake tax.
Like why not at this stage....

let’s crash the stock market too

short term investing in stocks and crypto just got a lot more expensive in Australia. you will own nothing and you will eat the bugs.

I think there are some chicken-littles that owe me an apology. This is what I just paid for Diesel, and prices everywhere are improving rapidly.
Its taken a little longer than I expected but I predicted from the start we would get through this without any of the 'doomsday scenarios' coming true, and here we are, through the worst of it, still intact.
The fuel shortage is serious, yes, and its yet to have its full knock-on-effect on the economy, I'm not saying it was trivial or that it didn't hurt, but it was NEVER worthy of the fear-mongering and predictions of doom we've seen from some quarters.
Comments are open for apologies below.

@Sauronlordking But remember..... its the disabled recipients that are the issue yeah.
English
I sold half today at 0.093.
Can’t pick the top.

@MurrayWatt Is this additional to normal shipments or just all that we can secure atm?
English
BREAKING: The Albanese Labor Government has secured another 100 million litres of diesel for Australia.
50 million litres of that, or 300,000 barrels, is heading straight to Queensland communities.
English
To save the NDIS, we have to stop the rorts, waste and abuse.
The scheme must be limited to the severely physically disabled and the care they need.
Original forecasts said the NDIS would cost half what it is today. It needs to be returned to that before it sends the country broke.
English
@stephhodginsmay 160000 people off the NDIS so that the service fraud can continue
The money is not wasted by recipients as they dont get cash, but an allocation of funding to go towards specific approved services
Its the rort in the middle, the providers, case managers which need attention
English
Labor kicking more than 160,000 disabled Australians off the NDIS is absolutely shameful.
Vulnerable people should not have to pay the price for a system left open to exploitation by this government.
English
@katwatchesfilms Oh, but they have $6m for a little India building in Ipswich.
English
Labor will literally kick 100s of thousands of people off disability payments rather than tax the rich appropriately
English
Everyone saying that UBI will destroy meaning are revealing they don’t know a single wealthy person with a bond fund
RAMZPAUL@ramzpaul
Rich people already have an equivalent of a universal basic income. They don’t work for their money. They can sit around and collect on their passive investments. Any work they do is optional and for personal enjoyment. They seem to do okay.

@cryptorover Are you finally seeing the issue with voting for a previously bankrupt business man......

🚨THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCAM OF THIS CENTURY
Last year, President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs.
The US government started collecting massive tariffs, amounting to over $160 billion.
Meanwhile, businesses who were paying tariffs passed on high costs to consumers.
This led to more households facing high inflation, even though the official number is around 3%.
Trump said these collected tariffs will be used to give a $1,200 dividend to every US household to make their finances better.
In Q1, the Supreme Court deemed that US tariffs are illegal and they should be returned.
Now, the US government is opening a claim portal to refund $166 billion in tariffs.
And guess who's getting all these refunds?
The businesses who passed all their costs to consumers.
So, the business passed all the tariff costs, and now they are the ones getting the refunds too.
Meanwhile, US consumers faced high inflation, and now they'll get absolutely NOTHING.

Imagine that over those 10 years, you and your family never drove on a road, saw a doctor, went to hospital, flew in a plane, had their children educated, took prescription medicine, had an aged parent looked after & receiving the pension, relied on the police or fire brigade, worried about Australia's defence, used a well regulated bank, relied on childcare ... to name a few items funded by tax?

Jim Chalmers is about to utterly fuck small business owners. Imagine for a moment: - you start a small business by building a website, some equipment, and buying a few supplies - it cost you ~$5,000. - over the next 10 years you work incredibly hard (you survived the GFC and COVID19) to grow your business. - you then have an opportunity to sell it for $3M. - you think you've now got a $3M nest-egg that will allow you to move onto the next stage of your life (possibly an early retirement). - But in comes Jim Chalmers, who changes the CGT rules, and now you're going to have to pay the top-marginal tax rate on $2,990,000 ... so you lose ~$1.4M and now only have half of what you thought. This is an appalling act of bastardry and will utterly destroy small business and entrepreneurship in Australia.
