John Howard introduced the CGT discount in 1999. The decade before, house prices tracked income. After, they decoupled - Howard used the tax system to make investors richer at the expense of first home buyers. A simple correlation that even Karl Stefanovic could understand.

Roy Keane on Turkey losing 2-0 to Australia national soccer team in their World Cup opener: 🗣️ “I don't want to hear excuses. Before the match, everyone was talking about Turkey as if the three points were already in the bag. Well, football doesn't care about predictions. Australia looked like a team playing for their lives. Turkey looked like a team waiting for something to happen. That's the difference. One side competed, the other side expected. What annoys me most is the attitude. You can forgive mistakes. You can forgive missed chances. But you cannot forgive a lack of urgency at a World Cup. Australia won the physical battle, the mental battle, and in key moments they won the football battle too. That's embarrassing if you're Turkey because they were supposed to be the team making the statement tonight. Some players will look at the tactics, some will blame luck, and some will point fingers elsewhere. Nonsense. Start by looking in the mirror. World Cups are not won by talent alone. The harsh reality is this: Australia arrived believing they could win. Turkey arrived believing they should win. One mindset creates history. The other creates headlines like this.”

Gareth Evans: "AUKUS is a military threat to Australia, it was misconceived from the outset."

A Must Read. Mike Gilligan on just how much of a scam the AUKUS lemon is cc @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP and why it is an unprecedented disgrace and betrayal of the people of Australia. The PM should take this opportunity to WITHDRAW. The Public Enquiry will be excoriating. You dont give away public money in this way. ‘The Virginia class submarine is not a general-purpose vessel such as our Collins class. It is designed for supreme acoustic invisibility for a specific purpose – to find, track and attack submarines seen as a nuclear threat to the US mainland. That is the job which the US expects Australia’s submarines to do – effectively embedded into US military command – against China’s growing capacity to annihilate continental US from under the sea, anytime. Why this role is of utmost priority for the US requires some explanation. Nuclear armed submarines, such as China possesses, present a uniquely difficult threat to the US homeland. Unlike the readily discernible launch locations of hostile land-based missiles, or from aircraft or sea-surface vessels, the submarine’s habitat and mobility make it largely invisible and impregnable across the vast ocean approaches to the US. The US attempts to deal with this risk using specialised attack submarines (ie the Virginia), which can locate, track and destroy China’s nuclear submarines as they move into and around Pacific waters. This is one critical part of a mosaic of US self-protection measures, the effectiveness of which is eroding as China’s submarine production expands. So, the hefty sacrifice which Australia’s taxpayers make to acquire new submarines is not for Australia’s benefit, but for defending continental US. Australia’s submarine needs are quite specialised and different, but simply ignored by Minister Marles… the evidence is incontrovertible this government has forsaken independence in protecting Australia. And deceives its people on how it lets the United States controls our priorities to its own benefit, damaging our own defence capacity. The implications of such betrayal are profound.’ We are just vassals to a fading hegemon who wants to be able to keep goading our biggest trading partner because its economic growth presents a threat to the US lording it over the world. FFS time to grow up and stop supporting a bully. pearlsandirritations.com/pos…

Prof Jeffrey Sachs, American economist and public policy analyst. Columbia University: "AUKUS is designed to bill the Australian taxpayers and enrich the US military industrial complex. You have been had Australia, sorry to tell you. And your politicians should own up it."

“AUKUS will prove to be one of the worst defence and foreign policy decisions ever made by an Australian government.” Not my words. Gareth Evans’ words. AUKUS isn’t defence policy. It’s a blank cheque written on Australia’s future.👇🏽 theguardian.com/world/2026/j…

The biggest threat to our lives is not the brown people living next door - it is the blood sucking bullshitting tax free billionaire grifters who own our politicians. So of course “The Age” bury that mind blowing inconvenient truth somewhere past page 20 in the business section.

Did you know Australia's antisemitism envoy, Jullian Segal sits on the Board of Israel's Weizmann Institute. EVERY drone that ELBIT & Israel uses to kill Palestinians comes out of Weizmann research labs, Tel Aviv. Aust's antisemitism envoy profits from killing Palestinians!

Raf Epstein calls out blatant favouritism media gives Pauline Hanson “She could never say ‘show me the good Jews” “She says that about Muslims” “If she said that about Jews there’d be a discussion on this couch whether or not she should be prosecuted under hate laws”💥🎯 #auspol

The voting age is 18 right?So why are we taxing 15-17 year olds who work? Isn't that the very definition of "taxation without representation"?
