@AvidCommentator George Costanza summed it up best! “It’s not a lie if you believe it”! The ALP actually believe their own propaganda.

@AvidCommentator @DFA_Analyst The question is why is the note secret? Doesn’t the Treasurer always say how “independent” the Reserve Bank is, when rates are going up anyway!

@GemmaTognini And it Howard and Costellos mistake was so large surely they should have changed the CGT rules as first order of business in May 2022!

[Ben Jordan @benfjordan]

@JEChalmers And when this proves to be a complete failure you’ll blame Treasury. It’s not your modelling, its Treasury’s modelling!! And release the modelling if it’s so accurate?

@antimoiannella might need to update the story in the Tiser! That is the Barrie Robran statue not Malcolm Blight.

@GrayConnolly 100%. Your previous posts noting if people have nothing to conserve they won’t vote conservative has been accurate as the Liberal party is as good as finished which doesn’t bode well for the nation as the ALP are on a permanent spendathon.

@beastieboy07 Here is a clip from the 1984 SANFL GF with similar physicality. Most of the GFs all through the 80s had a level of brawls. The last big one in the SANFL was 1991 which got completely out of control.

@DanielCherny Eddie didn’t have a problem with a compromised draft in 2005 allowing Collingwood to get Thomas as a priority pick and Pendlebury effectively as the pick two just 2 years after making consecutive grand finals.

@AvidCommentator Social Security and Welfare spending forecast to be at almost $300bn this year. Up from $180bn prior to COVID. It’s extraordinary

@AvidCommentator Migration dropped ~80% from its peak in 1989 to its low in 1993 as unemployment hit almost 11% in Xmas 1992. Could you really imagine immigration dropping to ~100K in the next 12-18 months, no chance!

[Ben Jordan @benfjordan]

@AvidCommentator Brilliant. Unfortunately today’s “leaders” just repeat talking points ad nauseam!

[Ben Jordan @benfjordan]

@andymcg_cricket Shades of the original 12th man when Greg Matthews catches one even through he wasn’t on tour!

@BenPicton1 Unfortunately was yet to arrive but my parents did but their first house in 1974 so some luck in the family!

@sorceror43 @kevinbonham Maybe they are prepoll absentee. But per the ECSA tally Morphett had 9,329 early voting but that have counted 6,849. Would seem to ve a high absentee number I would have thought?

@matt_barrie @DrewPavlou NDIS income is tax free as well. The tax payer gets slugged $70K when they actually earn $220K!

[Ben Jordan @benfjordan]

@matt_barrie The 2PP (bizzarly) always starts with who the electoral commission believes will end in the final 2. In this case historically that would be the independent (former Lib) and the Libs. However more likely the final 2 will be ON an Libs so it will take days for them to count!

[Ben Jordan @benfjordan]

@AvidCommentator Given the ALP are going to win in a landslide it makes even more concerning. They will win ~38 of the 47 seats!
