4 coal stations. Same 90 day avg, 1 year apart. The 2025 line rockets up after 6pm - that's where coal made its money. In 2026 that peak is gone, flattened by batteries and wind. Rev down 30-40% in a single year. Nobody's building coal in Aus again @mattjcan. It's over. /2

How is she helping battlers? Rather than attack the messenger, defend her voting record. I’ll wait.

Policies like cutting pay for workers? I’m sure you guys have a lot in common. One Nation talks about fighting for battlers but they’re funded by billionaires and oppose every wage rise Labor has delivered.

Um investment doesn't necessarily create more jobs than consumption, it's just that investors think they have a right to be preferentially treated. Bringing taxation on income and assets into line is a great reform. Government just needs to ignore the bleating.

As the man wondered, what happened to all the "experts" who used to say CGT & neg gearing had no impact on housing... Westpac investor loans plunge one-fifth on federal budget tax shock afr.com/companies/financial-…

The government’s proposed reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax have triggered a 20pc fall in Westpac’s housing investor loan applications over the past 3 weeks afr.com/companies/financial-…

Good news. Bluefin tuna numbers are recovering after coming close to total collapse 20 years ago. Catch restrictions have had a dramatic effect - a lesson for other fisheries. sustainability.stanford.edu/…

Someone already earning more than $195k, ie top 5%, is complaining that their additional side investments will be taxed at the same rate as a worker on the same income…
Under Labor's CGT proposal, if you're on the top marginal tax rate of 47%, and there is 2.5% inflation, to make 10% after tax investing in shares you need a pre-tax return of 16.65%. You're better off putting money into the family home. Labor is killing share investing in Aus.

Would the people who run Pauline Hanson’s Facebook page from the Philippines and the USA be allowed to buy property in Australia under a One Nation Government?

Takes a lot of guts to take on the vested interests of the property lobby to fix the distortion caused by the Howard governments changes to CGT and negative gearing. #auspol

Tax expert Dr Mark Brosnan will be adversely affected by the government's new tax rules, but supports them anyway. He explains why he believes it's important to debunk the agenda-driven information being spread. thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2…

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson publicly opposed an above inflation wage increase for Australia's 3 million lowest-paid workers. Pauline Hanson: Talks like a Battler, votes like Billionaire. #auspol

Care work is often treated as somehow less "real" than making tangible goods. Nonsense. It's physically demanding, emotionally demanding, and often highly skilled. That's real work, mate.⁣

power generation & distribution should be owned by the public…privatising essential services has never worked…
A government-owned #power company that can sell electricity for 44 per cent less than market price is one answer to problems faced by heavy #industry.. reneweconomy.com.au/the-priv…

Ha ha ha… he says his “evidence” is from sky news😂 …but it gets even funnier cause it’s just sky news reporting what he said…a perfect circle of symbiotic irrelevancy…
