@WheatWatcher Australia dodged the GFC so just about no impact here but in other countries the impact will last generations.

@Oscarthefarmer Great analogy Oscar. It’s not like we don’t know what we’re getting so I wonder if some voters through ignorance or bloody mindedness are actively stabbing themselves.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Mistadamage @Tedthekelpie @TheAustralian The focus is on CGT for investment housing. There’s been a lot of modeling showing this change would lower demand and hence prices. There’s no suggestion this change would be made retrospective. Should we be suspicious? Sure, but also not lose sight of the woods for the trees.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Mistadamage @TheAustralian Agree to some extent Mic. The discussion is about the removal of tax advantages that were introduced specifically for investors in the housing market thats contributed directly to the housing affordability crisis. Corps and super funds are a seperate, but important issue.

@WheatWatcher The comments are just appalling. It’s unbelievable that people feel it’s ok to think and talk like this. That is if they are people, probably some are bots. 🤖

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@RizviAbul So much of this so called debate on immigration is just plain bonkers stating with King’s misguided policy and then onto the “comments” from bots.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Oscarthefarmer It’s all she has to offer.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@beaugraham3 @Oscarthefarmer This is a long video but it clearly explains immigration into Australia. It’s easy for politicians and media shock jocks to say immigration and immigrants are the problem but it takes effort to understand how they aren’t.

@BrettPage72 @Mistadamage @AngusTaylorMP How about just skipping all this unnecessary politics and just put forward some alternative policies ?

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Mistadamage Sorry Mick, just reaching for a bucket ;)

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Mistadamage But even with those it’s still an each way bet as to which party increased debt and/or had surplus. Menzies et al ran constant deficits but debt fell as a % of GDP only because of growth.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@WheatWatcher Sadly I see it not only in production Ag but also associated agri business. Maybe we have to wait for a generation to die out to be rid of it.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@MSGCapital @GrainSurgeon @JBPritzker It seems that MSG Cap feels that the ends justifies the means. There is a way of dealing with people that are in the US illegally but that requires effort and apparently the individual people including those incorrectly arrested and even killed are not worth the effort.

@Oscarthefarmer @SpectatorOz I’ve had enuf of irrational wyners like Roan Dean.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Oscarthefarmer @AvidCommentator It’s so much easier to make the immigrant the problem than consider the complexity of why housing is unaffordable in Australia. Also ignoring where we would be without immigration.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@WheatWatcher I actually really like them as well as cauliflower cooked the same way BUT as a side to a nice medium rare steak or lamb chops.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Tedthekelpie @hasselljpb Date isn’t arbitrary at all Sam. It’s been chosen as it’s the day Australia was colonised by the British. Reenactments of the landing and raising of the flag have been a part of the celebration. I don’t think you have been really listening to what “they” have been saying.

[andytask @ap_tasker]

@Tedthekelpie @hasselljpb The current Australia Day represents the day the aboriginal people lost their land and human rights which is a big thing. Making it the day Australia became a nation, Federation Day, would be a lot more inclusive. So yes I believe it would make a difference.
