So why has the average price of Unleaded Petrol dropped from a high of $2.57 March 31 2026 to an average price today of $1.75?
Must be that nasty communist ALP.

@AFL Dusty?

How the fuck do we live in a country where the media insisted negative gearing didn’t increase house prices but now house prices are falling the media are insisting it’s because the Labor government stopped … negative gearing?

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

It’s like a meth family moved in….

[Jim Penman @Thejimpenman]

I bought my house and the one next door 23 years ago for around $3 million.

If property had only risen with inflation, they'd be worth a bit over $5 million today.

They are worth more than double that.

That difference is a gift from the government to me, a multi-millionaire, paid for by every young Australian trying to buy their first home.

A question written by Gina Rinehart, read out by somebody owned by Gina Rinehart, answered by somebody owned by Gina Rinehart, reading out an answer written by Gina Rinehart.

@skyeliner If Nat doesn't understand the policy and what grandfathering means then she either needs to educate herself before conducting an interview on the subject or just not conduct the interview at all and leave it to someone else...which probably rules out anyone else from Network 7.

[Jeli 💉x 7 ….. VOTE YES ......... Schnauzer mum.❤️ @skyeliner]

She’s is deliberately confusing,
the already confused, ch7 viewers.
He couldn’t have made the explanation any clearer.
Jane Hume not saying a word, for once.
Sitting there looking like she’s had too much Botox. 🫪

@GiantMinority @AussieVal10 FFS - NO, only if newly established AFTER the budget.

Pre-Budget existing arrangements ARE NOT IMPACTED IN ANY WAY.

It is so stunningly simple to grasp.

[Battling Lefty @murzo_4]

Is Nat Barr deliberately this daft?

It. Could. Not. Be. Clearer.

[Battling Lefty @murzo_4]

@WhoKnew53531000 @BenFordhamLive @briez63 Table some evidence of how you’ve been impacted. Happy to standby.

@church53384 @BenFordhamLive Income tax paid on income. What’s the problem?

[Battling Lefty @murzo_4]

@myneedtovent @Donalds25647148 @BenFordhamLive Facts is facts though, right?

[Donald smith @Donalds25647148]

@BenFordhamLive Try some real economics and real journalism.
'Death Tax' be buggered.

Barr misstates the policy then says there’s a “messaging problem”. Sounds like a “journalism problem” or a “reading comprehension problem”

🚨 JUST IN:

​Trump’s sons became partners in a Kazakh mining company.

​Right after the company received a $1.6 billion government contract in the US!

​Are we having fun yet, America?

Huge concern in New York that Zohran Mamdani is spending $122 million on schools and hiring 1,000 school teachers when that money could be buying bombs for Israel

[Battling Lefty @murzo_4]

@SquizzSTK Loved the hearty laugh from Dr Jim and the little bit of Dick on the side too. 😘

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal

This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research
