@joelmuzz @AvidCommentator Almost like it’s not negative gearing, and it’s entirely sentiment

We learn from Treasury Secretary, Budget 2026 won't increase housing supply and from Claire O'Neil, won't drive reduction in housing cost.

Reminds me of the Covid drugs, "Won't stop infection and won't stop transmission but inject the poison anyway." https://t.co/64IK9T15CS

As a German living in Australia the fact that Australia has twice as many public sector workers than France is hilarious.

The truth is called hateful in Belgium. Therefore speaking it is against the law.

This is more frightening than calling the truth "misinformation". They have stopped pretending completely. They are openly admitting that they have criminalized the truth.

It’s amazing the Budget did not flag smoothing of capital gains with changes.
Eg two taxpayers earning $1m over 10 yrs, assuming zero infl & 2027 tax scales
Taxpayer 1 $100k yr will pay $219k in tax over 10 yrs or 22%pa
Taxpayer 2 $1m CG in yr 10 will pay $435k in tax or 43.5%pa!

@tronim47736 @PeteWargent You have zero clue on market forces

[Brandyn @TrofYeah]

@tronim47736 @PeteWargent Exactly, I will pay more than the utility value to live at certain places over others.

[Brandyn @TrofYeah]

@tronim47736 @PeteWargent There is a reason why shelter will never be traded like a utility. Who gets to decide to live in the house at Mossman, verse the house at Broken hill

The gall of a university VC complaining about low productivity while they flood the labour market with hundreds of thousands of low productivity international students while pretending to give them a good education. Universities have become part of the problem

@John01011950 @WarMonitor3 You’re so so close, but it’s not the CCP. Definitely happening at the behest of a foreign government though

[Tarric Brooker aka Avid Commentator 🇦🇺 @AvidCommentator]

Statement of the obvious, but it should be the goal of policymakers not to need any overseas migration.

We should be targeting conditions favourable for replacement fertility rates, educating our own populace to do skilled roles and paying those doing low skill work decently.

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history.

> Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM.

> A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it.

> That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code.

> A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X.

> 21 million people have seen the thread.

> The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up.

> Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it.

> That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up.

> He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year.

> His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine.

> So he did what any engineer would do.

> He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise.

> Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub.

> A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it.

> The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history.

> He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust.

> It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks.

> Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down."

> The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back.

Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.

Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogoulas just released the most damning piece of investigative journalism Australia has produced in years.

Minnesota’s disability fraud broke the internet. Australia’s makes it look small.

The NDIS is a $52 billion/year program, the 3rd largest expense on the federal budget and larger than Australia’s entire defence budget.

In Lakemba there are 1,300 registered providers. Statistically, 1 in every 3 people is running one.

The investigation shows 9 providers sharing a single building address. Every door was locked across multiple visits. Phone numbers disconnected, websites broken or gone entirely.

They then set up a cleaning sting by hiring an NDIS registered cleaning provider; the kind billing directly out of disabled people’s government support packages.

Two cleaners show up to a staged Airbnb with zero equipment. They clean with the room’s own tissue box and leave in 25 minutes. Invoice: $236. That includes 2 hours labour at $116 and $120 in “travel costs” claiming 60km when the actual distance was 30km.

When confronted, the provider reissues it at $24.80.

Then there’s M&F Disability Services. They received a lifetime ban from the NDIS in September 2025 for fraud.

Within weeks, Sunny Days Care opens at the exact same address, on the exact same phone number, with the same accountant connected to both entities through ASIC records.

When Drew and Pete walk in and ask questions, staff physically assault them, smash $800 worth of equipment, and scream sexual harassment allegations on a public street.

The NDIS integrity chief told the Australian Senate that there are literally not enough judges to deal with the known fraud cases (we’re talking tens of billions).

Out of 7,000 fraud tip offs from participants reporting their own providers, only 16 prosecutions have been completed.

16 out of 7,000.

So you know those “strategic oil reserves” held in the US?

Labor sold it off.

Hasn’t declared the income or action yet.

@matt_barrie Where are you getting the 11% number? I’d like to understand better
