@oliverjanik @toiletpaperaus1 Not entitled at all. No one is blocking anyone from getting anything. How is it property investors are 'siphoning' money off anyone else hard work? Property investing has been a traditional way for Australians to save for retirement for over 50 years - now it is suddenly toxic.

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@Radguy1 @toiletpaperaus1 Plan is basically buy the property, spruce it up, rent it out at market rates, write off costs against income ( negatively gear ) pay the capital down as quickly as possible, hopefully pay it off before you retire, retire and sell the property, pay CGT and live off what is left.

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@GusLefty @toiletpaperaus1 Empty lots as opposed to empty houses. These numbers reflect land banking not property hoarding.

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@virgotweet You auote NOM which is the net figure - the number of migrant arrivals minus the number of migrant departures.
If you look at the number of immigrants the number is actually higher.
Total: 1,968,000 arrivals over three years, which works out to roughly 1,797 people per day.

@pcet2022 @maximusnv7777 @FranMooMoo •One Nation argues that high immigration levels drive up housing demand, depress wages, and strain healthcare/education infrastructure, so they vote against measures seen as ignoring root causes while supporting policies like immigration caps

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@FootscraysFine1 @DarrenBeale2 Billionaire support for political parties. One Nation runs a very very distant last. Teals (independents!) get more than ON

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@TheKouk So debt is running at 32% of GDP ( according to your data ) and you think that is OK? In fact a good thing?

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@oliverjanik @toiletpaperaus1 Research from AHURI found that more Australians still prefer owning around 20% of renters actually prefer renting

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@MercerLoL_ @toiletpaperaus1 A lot of people do not want to own property for many reasons. They are the people who will always rent. For many professionals their workplace is now global. Property is a hinderance to their career goals.
The hyped up image of investors paying way over market price is a myth.

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

and now they are after the family home - another promise broken?

[Australian Patriot. @JimThom90458694]

Superannuation was sold to Australians as a promise.

Work hard. Sacrifice now. Build your nest egg.
So you won’t have to rely on the government later.

That was the deal.

Now the moment people actually succeed… the rules change.

If you’ve spent decades building more than $3 million inside your super, the government now wants another 15%.

Think about that.

They encouraged you to take responsibility.
They incentivised you to plan ahead.
They told you to become self-sufficient.

And now they’re punishing the exact behaviour they promoted.

This isn’t about “taxing the rich.”

This is about trust.

Because once a government proves it can move the goalposts whenever it wants, every Australian should be paying attention.

Today it’s $3 million.

Tomorrow?
$2 million.
$1 million.
Whatever they decide.

Inflation will do the rest.

The dangerous part isn’t just the tax.

It’s the principle.

If you can’t build wealth, protect wealth, and pass wealth on to your family without the state reaching deeper into your pocket, then what exactly are we working for?

Superannuation was supposed to reduce dependence on government.

Now it’s becoming another pipeline back to government.

That’s not policy.

That’s confiscation dressed up as fairness.

Australians are waking up.

And they’re sick of being treated like an ATM.

@gwhiz192 @PaulBongiorno Wrong continent!

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

This why we need an audit because unless these were all new hires the staff would have already been in place "Case in point: out of a recent $40 million grant for the Alice Springs Camp, roughly half was chewed up by administrative salaries rather than direct aid."

[Malcolm Roberts 🇦🇺 @MRobertsQLD]

I recently questioned the NIAA at Senate Estimates on the ongoing failures of the Closing the Gap initiative. Case in point: out of a recent $40 million grant for the Alice Springs Camp, roughly half was chewed up by administrative salaries rather than direct aid.

When pushed for a genuine, independent external audit to see where the money is actually going, the NIAA pointed to internal reviews. ANAO does not conduct the deep financial audits required here. This is just the department monitoring itself.

Worse still, when asked if basic welfare payments are enough to survive on in remote areas, the NIAA directed me to the Department of Social Services.

How can we close the gap if the leading agency refuses to look at the actual baseline standard of living?

A One Nation government will demand transparency and independent audits, ensuring that funding goes to people that need it - not middlemen.

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@realRick_AUS Claude (Ai) shone a bit of light on the subject - speaking about the government’s push for a DDoC law and tech platform accountability, Albanese said hospital admissions for strangulation and anal tearing linked to extreme porn were “growing at an extraordinary, horrific rate.”

@ToonDazza @IanT15953741 @andyburnham Done

I 100% agree @andyburnham - let’s all retweet and help Andy out……

@tronim47736 @DarcyAmaroo An investor who buys any property - whether established or not - will not live in that property and therefore it is available for rent. A property owner who lives in his property that he owns will not rent it out. Investor = rentals! !

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@DarcyAmaroo There is a massive shortage of rentals in every major city. These rentals are provided by???? Do you want a hint?

[Richard Dodd @JenzRich]

@DarcyAmaroo So invrstors are to blame for the shortage in housing! Really! The fact that pver 12000 building have gone bankrupt is beside the point. The fact that only 110000 houses are being built each year ( of which about 20000 are replacements) to house a wave of immigrants! Really!
