Once called the worst audience participant Cirque du Soleil has ever seen. Also talked shit about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on a very public podcast.

The term “rich” is being used a lot in the classist elements of the tax debate. Ok that’s fine. But such a person say on $200k can not, even with a 20% deposit, borrow enough to purchase a median priced home in Sydney. Is that really rich or is housing just far too expensive ?

The great housing paradox: Everyone agrees that housing affordability is one of Australia’s biggest economic problems, if not the biggest, but promising genuinely to fix it will ensure that you don’t get elected.

How is it that the very wealthy consistently end up paying less tax than young workers?
This excellent video from @jack_toohey explains how our tax system is rife with loopholes that asset-rich wealthy individuals are able to exploit.

So if you fail to book on the @Qantas website for obvious reasons, and are forced to phone 131313 to wait over an hour for help, you're now charged $70 for the convenience of talking to a human. @mrjoeaston putting this on your radar. #costoflivingcrises #Qantas #QatarAirways

When Australians are on average spending an extra $5,400 a year to cover increases in the cost of food and bills, a $3,700 increase in their earnings puts them $1,700 behind.
Jimmy boi, this isn’t news to you, so either you’re being intellectually dishonest or you’re morally bankrupt. I’ll let you pick.

The average full-time worker is earning around $3700 extra per year since the @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Government came to office - getting wages moving again is a key part of our plan to ease cost-of-living pressures #auspol #ausecon news.com.au/finance/work/new…
Community note
When wages rise at a slower rate than the rate of inflation, real wages decline. Wages in Australia increased by 3.6% over the last year, however the inflation rate during the same period was 6%. Wages may have gone up, but they didn't compensate for the cost of living.

Minimum rental standards are not worth the paper they’re written on if a tenant can be evicted for simply asking that their rights be met.
These tenants have been asking that Ray White Oakleigh bring this property up to the minimum rental standards for 2 years. When they sent Ray White a breach notice, they were evicted less than two weeks later.

We have a cabinet minister making a protectionist trade ruling for the purpose of subsidising the long-delayed capex bill of Qantas.I mean, what planet are we on here?The idea that Qantas needs further government assistance is risible @mrjoeaston afr.com/rear-window/minister…
