Well done labor! Keeping on doing the job!

Buttigieg: This isn't happening because of Covid. The gas prices aren't happening because Putin started a war. Gas prices are happening because Donald Trump started a war. Mortgage rates are over 7% because the Trump administration decided to give away $1 trillion in tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest people in the country, blew up the deficit while doing so.  It's not even that they tried and failed to lower costs. It's that their choices have actively, directly increased costs. And as you can tell from the president's performance today, they don't care.

Oh gawd. @DHughesy had a crack at the great @ALeighMP, comparing what Andrew earns with what nurses earn. We've plonked his clip with some commentary below, which exposes the absurdity of #Hughesy's rant. He's fkn lost the plot. Oh, DAVINA. #Hughesy. You do realise that when you start lecturing people about fairness and nurses' wages, somebody might actually examine YOUR earnings? Let's have a little look, shall we? FIRSTLY, THE TWO-MILLION-DOLLAR COMEDIAN. In January 2018, Radio Today named you among radio personalities reportedly earning a couple of MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. That's TWENTY TIMES the $100,000 you say nurses earn, Davina. And approximately 5.7 TIMES Andrew Leigh's $350,000. You weren't even funny. ▓ ⛐ 𖧀 So, if that's your filter, HOW'S THAT FAIR ON NURSES, DAVE? PLEASE TELL US. SECONDLY, THE JUNGLE MILLIONAIRE. In 2025, Pedestrian.TV reported that you had allegedly negotiated $250,000 to appear on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS. Not for a year's work. Not for a full-time job looking after sick people. FOR APPEARING ON A FUCKING REALITY TV SHOW. That's TWO AND A HALF TIMES the annual salary you just attributed to nurses. ▓ ⛐ 𖧀 So, if that's your filter, HOW'S THAT FAIR ON NURSES, DAVE? PLEASE TELL US. THIRDLY, THE $1.65 MILLION MAN. WHO magazine published an estimate of your annual entertainment earnings in 2020. $1,650,000 A YEAR. That's 16.5 TIMES your nominated nurse's salary. And approximately 4.7 TIMES Andrew Leigh's salary. For telling jokes, Davina. Some of which, we're assured, were intentional. ▓ ⛐ 𖧀 So, if that's your filter, HOW'S THAT FAIR ON NURSES, DAVE? PLEASE TELL US. AND NOW, THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO. Remember that $3.07 MILLION investment property you purchased from The Block? In 2017, property journalists reported that the purchase could potentially generate nearly $2.4 MILLION in depreciation deductions over time. That's potentially millions in tax deductions, Davina. Not proof you claimed them all, of course, but an interesting little detail when you're lecturing everyone about tax fairness. And you've been enthusiastically defending capital gains tax concessions. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS FOR NURSES, DAVE. PLEASE. FUCKING. TELL. US. FINALLY, A LITTLE MATHEMATICS LESSON. You said Andrew Leigh earns $350,000 and nurses earn $100,000. Then declared that Leigh earns THREE TIMES what nurses earn. $350,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3.5. THREE POINT FIVE, DAVINA. Not three. ▓ ⛐ 𖧀 You couldn't even get the fucking arithmetic right in your own lecture. Your little attempt to attack Andrew Leigh becomes a fizzing mess when we apply YOUR OWN MEASURING STICK to YOUR reported earnings. You introduced nurses' salaries as the benchmark, not us. We simply applied it to you. And apparently, by your own standards, you've got some explaining to do. You're not very fucking bright, are you? (Rhetorical, Hughesy. Rhetorical.) Thanks for the material Dave. You make our lives so much more fun.

What our dishonest unethical immoral right wing biased propaganda media are not mentioning What any decent small business should be aware of instead of screeching anti-govt propaganda Budget 2026-27 Small businesses are set to get a COVID-era-style tax lifeline from the government. Under the scheme, businesses will be able to reduce the profit they reported in the previous two years because of recent losses. That means a smaller retrospective tax bill in those years, and in many cases, a refund from the Australian Taxation Office. The policy is known as a "loss carry back" and will become a permanent fixture for companies with up to $1 billion in turnover, and kick in from the income years after July 1. It's expected to benefit up to 85,000 companies and cost the budget $2.3 billion over five years. The government's productivity package also includes some sweeteners for small business, including making the small business $20,000 instant asset tax write-off a permanent fixture. Small startups will also get access to a refundable tax offset.
