@JEChalmers@karlstefanovic@TheTodayShow@abcnews And you made a hash of all of them. Future PM, dont think so. Lucky to hold your seat next election. Albanese is definitely making sure you’re not a threat that’s for sure.
These poorly thought-out tax changes are not reform — they are a rushed money grab, dressed up to look like policy. Conceived before the election and introduced after it through deception, without a clear mandate, they do nothing to solve the real spending problem. Instead, they paper over Government failure and leave Australians to carry the cost.
The reality is simple: almost everyone else will be substantially worse off. Ordinary Australians will face higher financial pressure, greater complexity, and fewer incentives to work, invest, save, build, and grow. Business confidence will be weakened, aspiration will be dampened, and the cost of compliance will rise, all while the tax system becomes even more distorted and harder to navigate.
The only people who are not worse off are those who brought in the changes — the very people insulated from their consequences. They will not carry the burden. They will not face the trade-offs. Everyone else will.
That is what makes these changes so damaging: they do not create a fairer system or a stronger economy. They make everyday Australians substantially worse off, while rewarding the Government’s own political calculus and leaving the real costs to be borne by the public.
Nothing was changing on Tuesday nite but after Hanson delivered at the NPC, there was a sudden turnaround. The changes to an already flawed major tax change has added confusing complexity with which the tax lawyers will have a field day. Heres my take, just go out and do what you want, in 2 years time this government will be punted and whether it’s ON or the LNP or both all of these idiotic and poorly thought out tax changes will be scrapped. Just a waste of everyone’s time.
@JEChalmers If people didn’t think you were full of shit before, they’d be convinced now. What’s next? Depends what the polls say, or Pauline Hanson by the looks of it. She’s got you and Albanese in diapers now cause you’re shitting yourself 24/7.
@BilsonhBilson Perhaps your name should be Karen as you seem to think you’re 100% right and everyone who doesn’t go along with your line of thinking is 100% wrong.
@JEChalmers And yet again Jim, you are getting your arse handed back to you on a plate. You keep putting up this bullshit, and the fact checkers are going to come back at you every time. If you were any good you wouldn’t have to self promote.
@JEChalmers Jim I see you are playing with statistics again. I’ll be like and just make shit up. Let’s say all of the new businesses you claim are from NDIS and are located in Sydney’s southwestern suburbs. See I can make up shit just like only I’m probably more correct than your claims.
@ravforu@SandraEckersley Radical Islam is what I heard she will remove if elected. She never mentioned that she wanted to send home any of those from the countries you have mentioned unless they didn’t want to abide by Australia’s way of life. You lefties are so fucked in the head.
@Ausbobsmit Have a look at that fat f$&king round headed c@&t. What a fucking imbecile. Watt like Albanese is shitting himself so much he should be wearing diapers. As an attack dog, he should rounded up and thrown in the Pound.
Geez, I don't think that sentence is entirely right (or wrong) either. Gorton retired his Senate seat on 30 Jan 1968. From February 1–23 in 1968, Gorton was the Prime Minister with no seat in parliament at all (which is constitutionally permissible for up to three months under Section 64). So yes, he did *govern* without a Senate seat or a House of Reps Seat. However, to your earlier point, there is nothing in the Australian Constitution that dictates which chamber of Federal Parliament a Prime Minister must come from. The role of Prime Minister isn't even explicitly mentioned in the Constitution - the executive government is formed based on who commands a majority of support in the lower house. If the members of the House of Representatives support a Senator to lead them, that Senator can legally be sworn in as Prime Minister. So whilst Gorton could have remained the PM from the Senate, he believed it was more practical to resign from the Senate and govern as PM from the Lower House. Happy to hear if what I have stated is incorrect, and how that would be so. Never too old to learn, you know.
