The Greens had options.
They could’ve demanded a higher income tax free threshold so workers keep more of what they earn.
They could’ve even pushed for the higher taxes raised to fund more social housing.
Instead, they fought to stop billions of dollars in savings that were meant to create room for future tax cuts.
This is the priority for a party that pretends to care about lifting people up.
@OsherFeldman The interesting part is that with the changes to negative gearing is that it will push rents up, making it harder to enter the property market as more money will be spent on rent each week rather than saving for a deposit.
The law of unintended consequences will bite this PM hard
🇦🇺 Two governments racing to out-socialist each other while Australians cheer.
Free stuff isn't free. Someone pays.
Kill negative gearing → rents rise
Slash CGT → investment dies
Tax ambition → capital leaves
It's not ideology. It's arithmetic.
The bill is coming.
The Dr of recession has struck again. Before you complain about rate rises think of the people you have to thank for them.
Poor economic management leads to this not bad luck.
@obiwanau78@MenachemV@theage@australian@theheraldsun@3AW693@2GB873@abcnews@SBSNews Or maybe the feral protesters should let the Israeli President speak with out fear of being attacked. I would suggest though this is more about protecting the Jewish community from those protesters who are just anti zionist of course, not antisemitic at all.
