Eslake says it’s "not true" that rents will rise as a result of Labor’s CGT changes. Calls the 1980s comparison a 'latter-day' Goebbels tactic: "If you tell a lie often enough...it becomes accepted as the truth."💥💯#auspol
@RobertR41518125@ellymelly Since you’re happy to bring up the school teacher stuff, I can honestly say the vast majority of kids I taught were reasonably intelligent and open to the opinions of others, but not all.
"Melbourne brothel owner among funders of ‘Ditch the Witch’ billboards against Vic Premier Allan."
Let's see now, whether @theage editor can bring himself to condemn this behaviour.
Also, #out the other creeps paying for it. #auspol

This meme relies on a common trick: make up a big number, provide no source, and hope nobody checks.
Refugees do not arrive in Australia and automatically receive $1,400 a week because they’re refugees. They can access the same Centrelink payments available to Australians in similar circumstances, based on income, family size and eligibility.
If a family with children receives Parenting Payment, Family Tax Benefit and Rent Assistance, that’s because they qualify under the same rules that apply to Australian citizens.
The comparison with farmers is equally misleading. Farmers affected by drought, floods and natural disasters have access to grants, concessional loans, tax relief and disaster assistance. Some support is repayable, some isn’t, depending on the program.
The real issue isn’t refugees versus farmers. It’s whether governments are providing adequate support to people doing it tough.
When a meme tries to make you angry without providing a single source, that’s usually a good sign it’s more interested in outrage than facts.
