"PM and Treasurer, in what world is putting your heads in the sand, while organised crime makes a motza from illegal cigarettes, in the Australian interest? Are you really persisting with the fiction that it's delivering better health outcomes?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians
A complete policy SNAFU.
Pig-headedness on excise from the Federal Government, and a complete whiff on law enforcement from the states.
Time to severely cut excise levels.
"Prime Minister / Opposition Leader, on what basis can you possibly continue to give lobbyists preferential access to the halls of Parliament House, if you truly care about representative democracy? Why should we trust you, when you do?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians
This is absolutely astonishing.
The tentacles of lobbying go deep *inside* Parliament.
You want to know why I want people to vote for independents and minor parties?
Watch this to find out how democracy is sold to the highest bidder, and what happens when you call it out.
"Treasurer, why would it be good for our young people and our country to let house prices steeple when rates start coming down?
"How would this be in the national interest?
"Why will you let first home buyers get smashed, again?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians
Giving this one another shove, on the basis of today's inflation numbers.
It would be a travesty, bordering on negligence, if the Treasurer (and/or Shadow Treasurer, if there's a change in govt) allows lower rates to be capitalised into even-higher house prices!

"Treasurer / Shadow Treasurer, will you tell us what spending cuts, additional tax revenues or greater deficits / higher borrowing will be required with each new spending announcement, and why that's justified? Or do you not think it's important?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians
"Treasurer/Shadow Treasurer, MYEFO forecasts a decade of deficits and worsening govt debt.
Why shouldn't a structurally-balanced Budget be a priority for the country, and what spending cuts or new taxes are you proposing to fix the problem?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol
Here's a question to ask your state and federal governments.
After the catastrophic bushfires of 2019/20, what has changed, policy-wise, to address that risk.
You won't need more than the back of a supermarket receipt to write down the answers.

"Federal and State Treasurers, (except WA), you're all planning to grow government debt to extraordinary new highs. Can you please tell the people of Australia why that's not risky, and why you think higher inflation is a price worth paying?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians
"Treasurer, what material steps have you taken to remove demand from the economy, helping the RBA, and relieving the pressure on inflation & mortgage-payers?"
"Shadow Treasurer, what specific policies have you advanced that would have done the same?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians
"PM, Opposition Leader, what are your plans to make Australia a more prosperous, happier and healthier nation over the next 10 and 20 years? What are our biggest opportunities? How will the gains be shared? What obstacles need to be overcome?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol
"Treasurer and Shadow Treasurer, Norway has had a #SovereignWealthFund for ages. *Ireland* has just announced one (and with almost no significant national mineral wealth).
Why do we care less about our kids?"

"Mr Albanese, Mr Dutton, on what basis did you decide that rents and royalties from one-off resource extraction should be spent, and not used to fund a Sovereign Wealth Fund?
"Why was that the most responsible course of action?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol
"PM and Treasurer, if the level of household formation continues above the growth in dwelling supply, won't homelessness, rents and house prices increase?
"And isn't that something you should be pulling out all stops to prevent?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol #Inflation
"Prime Ministers, past and present: where is the joined-up planning document which specified how fast the population could/can grow, using evidence-based building plans, infrastructure capacity/projects, and environmental impacts?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol
"PM and OL, why is it more important to have some way to undermine your political opposition than to make sure consumers get a better deal?
"Why will you run a joint protection racket for pharmacy businesses, rather than promote competition?"
#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol
"Shadow Treasurer, in which markets has added demand resulted in lower prices?
Why should our kids have to choose between Super and a home when you and I didn't?"

"Shadow Treasurer, will you give the government political cover to do the right thing for the economy in the Federal Budget and cut spending / increase taxes to put downward pressure on inflation? If not, why not?"

The @TMFScottP #QuestionsForPoliticians are generally excellent. #Ausmedia should take note. @MichelleGrattan @AnnabelCrabb @KarenMMiddleton

"Treasurer/Shadow Treasurer, can you please explain why our economic health is better measured on 'total GDP' and not 'per capita (per person) GDP'?
How is it a win if the overall economy is growing, but the average Aussie is worse off?"
#auspol #ausbiz #QuestionsForPoliticians
"Treasurer, can you please explain specifically *how* your upcoming Budget will reduce pressure on inflation.
"And if the RBA does have to hike rates, won't your Budget be partly responsible, if it's not contractionary?"

"Mr Albanese, Mr Dutton, on what basis did you decide that rents and royalties from one-off resource extraction should be spent, and not used to fund a Sovereign Wealth Fund?

#QuestionsForPoliticians #auspol
@yendor67 @TMFScottP Unemployment below 3.5% (no matter what the RBA, lost in the 1970s, thinks) and underemployment below say 6% ...? - Hmmm, now thinking about education 🤔🌱
#QuestionsForPoliticians indeed.
