Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”�� #auspol
It's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad in Australia.
Companies can't lie about their products, so why can parties lie about their opponent's policies - or their own?
Australia needs national truth in political advertising laws.

@BilsonhBilson@c_s_wallace@profesterman@AlboMP The political silence around everything Covid has made for an uninformed public. The health minister, prime minister, aged care minister etc are silent; msm media are generally not reporting.
Vulnerable people are being denied boosters and antivirals.
The Australien Government has made an ad about its whistleblower protection laws, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I asked about this in QT today; the Health Minister's response was disappointing. My comment on the issue is here, for those interested: https://t.co/m9UmaxVeBC

@VicGovDH Government should mandate clean air in public spaces and work environments.
For minimal investment, the benefits are enormous for everyone: better health, cognition and productivity.
