I'm into the GFC unionism politics & feminism with a healthy dose of crappy popular culture. I may b insightful but then again may not. Views not my employer's.

Gina Reinhardt took her own flesh and blood to court over money.

Her own kids.

You honestly think she gave Hanson $2 million in cash and a brand new plane and doesn’t want anything in return?

If you do you’re more stupid than the poor person living in a trailer park who bought a Trump phone believing it was American made.

Have Australians forgotten that One Nation tried to secure a $20M donation from the NRA in exchange for weakening Australia's gun laws in 2019?! Did everyone forget this?! Why isn't the media reminding Australian Mums & Dads of this?! Do we want school shootings here?! 😡 #auspol

In one of his first votes in the Parliament today

One Nation's new MP David Farley

Voted against income tax cuts for working Australians

[Toilet Paper Australia @toiletpaperaus1]

Just a reminder: when Barnaby Joyce joined One Nation, Pauline Hanson received a $100,000, 42.5% pay rise, due to One Nation getting enough MPs to be classified as a minor party.

Yesterday, she stated that she would not support a 6% raise to the minimum wage.

Patricia Karvelas is wrong.

Tony Abbott can't campaign. He can only go negative, offer nothing, and pine for a time that's gone.

A man dumped by his party and his electorate. There's nothing positive left to say about him, or his moribund party.

The White House just posted that aliens live among us and go to school with our children.

The most fascinating part about that?

Trump is named over one million times in the Epstein files.

Property investors claiming they will have to increase rents drastically because of the changes to CGT and negative gearing are taking you for a ride. The new laws don't apply to existing investors, only to new investors. This is just another lie spun by the coalition, and greed by the investors.

"I think you need to take a Valium, take a Bex and have a lie down," Mr Petre told ABC News.

A much-needed reality check for the ultra-wealthy crying about having to pay their fair share. Thank you Mr Petre. #auspol

The irony of One Nation supporters existing to rail against the establishment and status quo, yet their backer is an elitist billionaire. Yet, It is Labor who delivers intergenerational game changer budget for young people, workers, and families.

[Eddy Jokovich @EddyJokovich]

The 2026 Budget has triggered a political war over housing, wealth and who the Australian economy is really designed to serve. And it’s a political war manufactured by the mainstream media and vested interests.

[Dirtyleftie @CraigSarg73]

Outrage about the Budget

I’ve been watching the reaction to the Budget, especially the panic around negative gearing and capital gains tax changes. And the louder the outrage gets, the more it feels like Labor may have actually hit a nerve in the right place.

The biggest critics are exactly who you’d expect — the LNP, property lobby groups, and sections of the media that treat investor tax concessions like they’re untouchable. Yet despite all the hysteria, the housing market hasn’t collapsed, the economy hasn’t imploded, and most Australians won’t pay a cent more tax under these changes.

Funny thing is, I haven’t heard much from Pauline Hanson either. Maybe it flew under the radar, or maybe Gina told her to keep quiet. Either way, the silence says plenty.

What’s happening now was always predictable. Any attempt to reform tax settings around housing was guaranteed to trigger a fear campaign — not because the policy is necessarily bad, but because it challenges something the LNP has treated as sacred for decades: generous tax concessions for investors.

That’s why the reaction is so loud.

The strategy is simple — scare people into believing that fairness is dangerous, and convince ordinary Australians that asking investors to pay tax on real gains instead of inflation-adjusted windfalls will somehow destroy the country.

But politically, Labor’s timing may actually work in its favour. There are still two years until the next election. By then, the reforms will have settled in, markets will have adjusted, and the scare campaign will have lost momentum.

Most Australians are more worried about rent, mortgages, wages and the cost of living than whether an investor loses part of a tax discount.

So yes, the noise is loud.

But noise and real-world impact are not the same thing.

Angus Taylor tells Sky After Dark viewers it was a “mistake” for any Libs to distance themselves from Trump & MAGA at the 2025 election.
“You won’t see me doing it!”

Angus wants this to stay in the late-night Sky vault. Please share so mainstream Aussies also find out. #auspol

[Cath Davis @Cath0709]

Don't the defections to One Nation show how vile the Liberal/Nationals coalition actually ALWAYS were? Why Howard wouldn't denounce Pauline Hanson & why claims about the inherent racism in their policies were correct? Blaming migrants but propping up billionaires all along. Shame

[Aaron Dodd, Curmudgeon @AaronDodd]

@alcookster @abcnews @David_Speers Coorey, lol. What a stooge.

[Dan Fangirl 🤓 @ChristyDanFan]

Bless the Murdoch tabloids and their biased shite. How did they react when Tony Abbott and the Liberal Party broke major election promises? They praised it. Here is a reminder. Enjoy! Also, cry me a river!

[Tom the whistleblower @blowingtom2]

For all those conservatives banging on about broken promises. Go fuck yourselves.

[stranger @strangerous10]

Katy Gallagher takes Libs’ interjection complaining on Housing
“bcoz it’s important to let everyone know” that the LNP “didn’t even have a Housing Policy, didn’t have a Housing Minister.”
And that a big part of today’s problems are bcoz the LNP “did nothing”🔥
Sad fact. #auspol

[Simon Banks @SimonBanksHB]

Just your friendly reminder that the Howard and Costello Government still comfortably retain the record for the highest taxing Budgets in Australian history

With 24.2% of GDP in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Budgets
