Elon Musk's net worth: $805 billion. That's more than the bottom 53% of Americans combined. His effective tax rate: 3.3%. A truck driver pays 8.4%. Tax the rich.

@AlboMP Really? Where was the 90+ days of strategic fuel reserves? Where was the covid Royal Commission to better prepare for the next pandemic? Where is the investment in oil extraction and onshore refineries? Where is the protection of key manufacturing capacity? Come on man.

The latest NDIS announcements: Growth target of 2% per year until 2030, then 5% per year from there (currently running at 10% per year). Participants cut to 600k by 2030 (from 760k now), mostly by diverting the 160k to the new Thriving Kids program. Tighter rules, a shift to functional assessments for permanent and significant disabilities, and more plan reviews. Plans to have clearer funding rules, shorter periods, total caps, and reduced spending on non-core items. Stronger provider registration, fraud crackdowns and pricing controls. My thoughts: Obviously a big step in the right direction in acknowledgement of the massive systemic flaws, rorts and ballooning cost. It shouldn’t be growing at all until the cost per year is actually reduced - until the issues are resolved, the growth rate should be negative, then 2-3% in perpetuity. The 5% growth rate from 2030 makes no sense and undermines the short term intentions - it just comes across as backloading cost in the budget beyond the short-term. These numbers are meaningless without the Thriving Kids program budget given the cut in participants will mostly just be shifted there. The integrity measures and rules changes sound genuinely positive - let’s see how they play out in practice.

You lost me at “racists.” That attitude is exactly what’s wrong with this country right now. Wake up and read the room - One Nation is surging because it’s winning support from everyday Australians of every colour, every background, and every suburb. The silent majority has had enough of being lectured and smeared.

So the Libs and Nationals are going to preference the Racists in Farrer against Independent @michelle4farrer I shudder to think what former MP late Tim Fischer would think of this move. Where is the outrage from John Anderson? If anyone is still struggling to understand how America under trump has collapsed this will give you a glimpse of how to start the slide in Australia.

@Katherine_deves @Kon__K The 2011 Productivity Commission modelling (used to design the scheme) projected the NDIS would cost under about $15 billion per year once fully implemented. At that time, the system was expected to support roughly 400,000 Australians. It is now out of control.

@Kon__K They should be cutting $40B In 2013 disability expenditure was $6-8B Taxpayers should not be forced to fund everything for everyone who wants it all the time - especially gardeners, servants, drivers, rent-a-friends

Utterly shameful, 160,000 Australians to be cut off the #NDIS, with $15 billion to be cut by 2030 from its annual projected budget. While we don’t tax foreign gas companies which would raise at least $17-$18 billion annually with a 25% levy. Help it make sense!

#BREAKING Energy Minister, Chris Bowen, says that “coal assets” are the most “unreliable part of our energy system” “And the most expensive” It’s worth noting that our electricity bills have tripled since Chris Bowen switched from coal to renewables.

@ESPNNBA @KendrickPerkins @PatMcAfeeShow Jacking up a lot of threes when they are not falling seems an odd strategy to me. Even Jordan had nights when his jumper was off but he quickly pivoted to plan B. He attacked the basket, got fouled, shots some FTs, and then got his pull up going.

@DrewPavlou It had an initial budget of $12b, not $55b. Right now the country cannot afford it at $12b. We are about to have a $1T national debt. That’s a massive problem. . . We need some grownups in charge.

Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John says its ''terrifying'' that the Australian government plans to spend $52 billion on the NDIS next year rather than $55 billion. Lol.
