@Macquarie who do we call when credit cards scammed? Your live chat not answering, your 24 hours emergency line not answering, your other numbers not answering. Not very helpful.

Successive governments have overspent, misallocated capital and treated taxpayer money as if it were unlimited.

Now Australians are being drawn into a false argument over who should carry the burden: capital or labour, investors or workers, business or households.

That is the trap.

The real issue is not simply who pays more. The real issue is whether the government spends wisely, disciplines itself, and stops asking the productive parts of the economy to fund waste, duplication and poor policy design.

Without serious spending reform, the debate becomes a zero-sum fight between taxpayers. Capital resists. Labour feels squeezed. Households lose trust. Business delays investment. Productivity stalls.

A country cannot tax and transfer its way to prosperity if the underlying system keeps wasting the money it already takes.

Australia needs a harder conversation: not just how revenue is raised, but whether public money is being used well.

Until that happens, we will keep arguing over the bill, while avoiding the real question: why is the bill so high in the first place?

@Quartermain10 @AFL Agreed; too annoying to go to live footy now with the crowd hyping and bright flashing ads.

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

@7NewsMelbourne @rochelleebrown1 Wow, got to pay to look at our own beach in Victoria now? Probably will only be seen by bus loads of tourists now. Such a shame.

@pwafork Straight to the post office is my experience

@GlenWillia48787 @kayosports Yep, it's not you, it's them

Hey @kayosports and @SkySportsF1 not sure who controls the sound mixer desk, but it's impossible to hear your commentary over the excessively loud engine noise. #Formula1

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

Hey @FOXFOOTY can you please get rid of this hideous animated, HUGE, "score bar". It is so distracting and pointless. @kayosports @AFL

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

Hey @kayosports great the @AFL footy is back, but why the massive score graphic taking up so much screen real estate?

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

@9NewsAUS @9NewsMelb Why do I have to watch a 30 second ad before I can see what you posted? 5 seconds in, shut down, move on. I didn't see your content and didn't know who the ad was for. Bit of a fail for you as you've now trained me not to click on your content 👋

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

@netflix How can I block it? 😂

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

@piersmorgan @englandcricket Agreed

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

Thanks @auspost for waiting 4 seconds before vanishing. Can you give people time to get to the front door?? Now we have to make a trip to the local PO. FFS.

I grew up here and I’ve been here many times but every time I come to QLD in summer I’m just flabbergasted that it’s full sunshine at like 4.45am. Why do they do this to themselves!?

[CCTV_IDIOTS @cctv_idiots]

Made me chuckle 🤭

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

@SkyNewsAust Ummm, VPN?

[Greg Furlong @gfurlong]

It's about time they cracked down. I've seen people getting on with 3 or 4 bags.

[Tom the whistleblower @blowingtom2]

Watching Qantas staff stopping people carrying on luggage over 7kgs is hilarious. We are now nearing 25 unhappy people who can’t be guaranteed that their bag will be on the same flight. One person was at 15kg for her bag and the Karen entitlement is killing me

Has the world gone mad?

A piece of conceptual art consisting of a banana, duct-taped to a wall, sold for $6.2 million at an auction in New York.

[Spike Cohen @RealSpikeCohen]

80,000 pounds of Costco butter was just recalled, because the label doesn't say that it contains milk.

It's butter.

News articles are telling people how they can return, or safely dispose of, the butter.

It's butter.

@fictillius According to Utopia, there must be an election coming! 😂
