"The people in charge of our country are idiots... and they treat our money like they found it in a sack by the river and they've gotta spend it before someone finds out"

Here is my advice for avoiding 47% CGT on shares.
Step 1 - Take all your money, put it in the bank, and collect 5% interest.
Step 2 - Get a doctor to diagnose you as autistic, and register for the NDIS.
Step 3 - Buy a PlayStation 5, sit on the couch, and punch cones.
In 2009 Australia’s top marginal tax rate of 45% kicked in at $180k
If this had been properly indexed to inflation, today it would kick in around $280k
Instead, it hits at $190k
This is a dishonest and stealth form of theft
We don’t hate these politicians enough !!
Grok does a decent job of tracking Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Lies… Did it miss any?
Here we go:
Broken promises, backflips and lies by Anthony Albanese since 2022:
• Promised household power bills would be $275 cheaper a year by 2025. Prices rose instead.
• Promised second stage power price cuts after 2025. Pulled the plug on rebates at end of 2025 with no further cuts delivered.
• Promised to keep Coalition’s stage three tax cuts exactly as planned with no changes. Changed and restructured them.
• Promised no changes to superannuation. Introduced new tax on balances over $3 million.
• Promised real wages would grow and rise above pre-election levels. Failed to deliver.
• Promised 450 gigalitres of environmental water under Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Delivered only 27.5 gigalitres.
• Promised 50 urgent care clinics by his own deadline. Missed the deadline.
• Promised new Pacific Engagement Visa by his own deadline. Missed the deadline.
• Promised Makarrata Commission for truth-telling and treaty. Abandoned it after Voice referendum failed.
• Promised no changes to negative gearing. Now pushing or allowing changes.
• Promised long-term immigration planning locked in. Walked away from it.
• Promised 42.5% Commonwealth funding of hospital costs by 2030 with no caps. Walked back and added funding caps.
• Promised to deliver on every single election commitment. Broke multiple as listed.
• Backflipped on removing sexuality, gender identity and sexual variation questions from 2026 census.
• Initially refused royal commission into Bondi terror attack and rising antisemitism. Backflipped and announced one.
• Backflipped on hate speech legislation by splitting the bill to get it through Parliament.
• Lied about falling off the stage during 2025 campaign event. Video showed he tumbled off; he repeatedly denied it and claimed he just stepped back one step and was fine.
• Removed the RMIT ABC election promise tracker amid scrutiny over broken pledges.
• Promised to buy back Darwin Port from Chinese ownership before 2025 election. Still in Chinese hands, promise not delivered.
• Promised a royal commission into the COVID-19 response. Delivered a watered-down inquiry instead and blocked calls for a full royal commission.
• Promised a new era of transparency and open government plus FOI reform so laws couldn’t be flouted. FOI refusal rates nearly doubled to 23 per cent and full disclosures hit historic lows.
So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy … a pound of sliced turkey in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment? 🙄😂
I’m DONE.
50 FUCKING YEARS of sweat.
Two trades.
Diploma engineering
Busted my ass.
Raised good kids.
Paid every damn tax.
Obeyed every law.
Voted like they told me to.
And for what?
A system that laughs in our face.
Politicians who lie straight to our facess.
Promises of “better days” that were just bait.
While THEY cash checks and WE get the bill.
They mollycoddle their chosen voter base with exorbitant government grants, NDIS and assistance.
Regardless how vile their statements against Australians and their celebrating of the most evil regime since hitler
They blow 15 souls on bondi beach and this piece of shit takes guns from aussie farmers
We built this country.
We carried it on our backs.
We’re the suckers who still believe in “hard work pays off.”
Newsflash:
It doesn’t.
Not anymore.
Not for honest, humble, middle-class hard working Australians
We’re not “slaves” anymore.
We’re awake.
We’re pissed.
And we’re not shutting up.
Who else is fucking DONE being exploited?
🚨 Dinesh Karthik exposed Nasser hussian and Mike Atherton. 🔥
DK said, “You both said during the Champions Trophy that India won because they kept playing at one venue. Now Pakistan did the same — and still they didn’t win. What about that?”
I’m not a doctor, but.. who came up with the idea that gender dysphoria would be cured by injecting the OPPOSITE hormone to your gender and not the hormone that produces YOUR gender?
Many men with low testosterone and gender depression or dysphoria would be cured with controlled doses of testosterone.
Injecting an opposite hormone is POISONING your body and creating mental imbalances that develop in mental illness and psychopathy.
The Democrats want to castrate the population chemically.
INSANE!!!
Bitcoin is a neutral, open-source public utility. Like fire, water, or the internet.
It is not a person. It is not an institution. It has no secrets.
Corrupt people do not get to rob humanity of our chance to fix the mess we inherited. Bitcoin is the solution, not the problem.
I truly believe that Michael Saylor is one of the greatest visionaries of the human race and humanity will be eternally grateful for the contributions he is making.
When Bitcoin’s price is low I enjoy listening to this speech and I always feel inspired.
We’re looking at an asset that almost everyone bought because they believed it would do certain things, go up with inflation, protect purchasing power, act as a store of value. Over the past year, it has done none of them.
That’s potentially very dangerous. When a widely accepted narrative breaks without a replacement, prices can fall much further than most people expect.
I’m not shorting Bitcoin, and I don’t claim to know how or when anything happens. But it’s an important observation.
It’s also important not to anchor to price or past movements. Today is a new day, and the narrative appears broken.
