@DrewPavlou Huge difference to the colonisation by the British back in the late 1770’s vs today. Nobody is being killed and taken away from their families so they can move in and make it a new country…
@clearticulation@Telstra It’s a government requirement and not the telcos. This is because with the 3G networks being taken offline approximately 500k handsets cannot access VoLTE which means they cannot properly access 000.
@AussieVal10@Ausbobsmit Out of 193 countries Australia has the 13th most powerful economy. Out of the 180 countries below Australia a lot of them have greater populations than Australia. Example. Bangladesh has 170m people with a GDP less than 1/3 of Australia’s.
@JakeBeer11@GutlessScomo@Ausbobsmit So if your boss said they were going to give you a $20k annual pay rise you would refuse it? BUT your decision too would be what every other employee gets (if you accept they get a raise if you decline they don’t). Don’t hurt yourself thinking what to do.
@CruisingCrypt0@Ausbobsmit He’s also conveniently missing out on Singapores leader with $1.61mUS per year. Many countries their leaders get paid more. But it’s easier just showing 4 countries and saying we’re tops (America is normally good at that)
@AussieVal10 But the whole point of preferential voting is. I prefer candidate a. But if they don’t get many votes my second preference is candidate D.
This means if your candidate didn’t do so well your vote goes to your next in line.
@TheERoseKing87@Sargon_of_Akkad All those immigrants who gained citizenship arrived here before the 2022 ALP government came in…you need to find a stronger blame.
@craigkellyXXX Wow! Bet you’re all crickets when $1AU=$1.08 back in 2012….just trying to put my finger what government was in back then 🤔 the ALP maybe? The US $ has nothing to do with who is in power here.
@mattgaetz But yet you are also tariffing countries who don’t have any tariffs on US goods. For example a reciprocal tariff with Australia would be 0%.
@GuntherEagleman Because not all those 170 countries have placed tariffs on the US. Australia has a FTA with the US so a reciprocal tariff would have been 0%. But that’s ok, only 5% of Australias exports go to the US so it won’t hurt Australia but instead hurt Americans (beef is the main thing)
@JerryOlson1@aginnt Countries not being tariffed? Hint, they’re North Korea and Russia…but yet the penguins get tariffed. Open your eyes and realise that the American people aren’t being looked after and are being taken for a ride P3
@JerryOlson1@aginnt Will the US federal government penalise US states who charge a sales tax to anyone purchasing goods in those states? If not, that’s hypocritical saying a countries sales tax is a tariff (which is isn’t as that same tax is on Aus made goods too). But have you noticed two P2
@garysharp55@absolomNL@RepMaryMiller It’s ok, many Aussies are planning of following the winter Aussies (Canada) and boycott US. Won’t be taking advantage of them if we don’t support them. Problem solved! 😂😂
@RepMaryMiller Australia doesn’t tariff the US. We have a free trade agreement with each other 😂😂 that 10% is GST which is a sales tax on everything regardless of country of origin Australia included 😂😂
@RepGregSteube So is the US federal government going to be placing penalties on states who charge sales tax? I think that’s only fair when alleged tariffs aren’t tariffs but are sales taxes. Australia doesn’t tariff the US. That 10% is the GST that’s paid on ALL goods and services.
@LiberalAus Choosing $9/week in fuel excise relief is a trade off for the $35 you will pay extra in income tax. You will be $26 on average worse off for 12 months then $45/week worse off after.
@mattgaetz Can you at least tell people the true on these “tariffs”. For example the 10% Australia charges is called GST, this is applied to pretty much everything sold in Australia, it’s not a tariff it’s a goods and service tax. Why aren’t you punishing your states for charging sales tax?
