Same profit, different tax - the CGT's dogs breakfast.

My article in the @australian's Inquirer today quotes Chief Economist of the NSW Parliamentary Budget Office, @DerekFranc90653

It's hard to get your head around just how bad this is, because it is so counter-intuitive.

[Alexandra Marshall @ellymelly]

I don't think Australian understand.

If we hadn't spent a single cent on Net Zero.

And hadn't pursued mass migration from the third world.

Just those two things.

We'd be one of the richest nations, per capita, in the world. One of the safest nations. One of the most energy-rich nations. A nation where our own kids are first in every queue - housing, education, employment...

Two mistakes from politicians cost us EVERYTHING.

We’ve all had a few days to sit with @JuliaGillard’s declaration of whoops and as the minutes go by, the angrier I get. Not just at the admission that, basically, it was a “regret” to open up the legal category of women to men, but at the reluctance to admit it was wrong.

And the fact that it’s only now, after amazing UK women & men are putting on pressure by turning up to her events to remind of her of the whooosy, that she dares to say anything.

Not when @jk_rowling was getting countless r*pe & d*ath threat from the very men these kind of laws were changed to include.

Not when a man in his 50s took a pregnant woman (🙋‍♀️) to federal court, using that very specific Australian law change & institutional capture to his advantage.

Not when @ActiveLesbians were told by the Australian Human Rights Commission that heterosexual men who claim to be lesbians must be included in lesbian events.

Not when @martina came under attack for defending women’s sport, years after already battling for LGB rights.

Not when @KirralieS was dragged through courts for bringing attention to MEN who claim to be women in womens sport.

Not when that very league told the women in that sport if they so much as walk off the field because men are on it *they* will be punished.

Not when media started reporting on school girls not drinking WATER at school because boys were in the only unisex bathroom available to them & no adults would help them.

Not when women prisoners finally got word to the outside that they were in cells with MALE SEX OFFENDERS, locked up with them only because the Gillard amendments to the sex discrimination act (arguably) allowed it.

Not when Jasmine Sussex’s life was turned upside down for stating the fact that men cannot breastfeed infants, and because men can be women in law suddenly she’s the bad guy.

Not when the sex discrimination commissioner told senate estimates that men who claim to be women can have pregnancy protections in law but women can’t have single sex spaces, thereby interpreting the Gillard amendments to give men protections they don’t need while taking away women’s protections we do need.

Not when countless women in Australia and around the world were and are being punished for saying NO to this absolute bullsh-t that men can be women in law.

She said nothing until it started to interrupt her day in the mildest of ways. It’s pathetic.

Australian power bills have blown out by $23 BILLION since Albo was elected.

Wind and solar are not cheaper.

[Senator Matt Canavan @mattjcan]

The PM is upset today that people have "grievances" against Labor.

Under his government:

- taxes are the highest on record and going up more

- inflation and interest rates are the highest in the developed world

- energy prices have skyrocketed by 38%

- we have lost our nickel, plastics, flat glass and urea industries

- we are begging the rest of the world to keep supplying us oil

- young people can't buy a home because migration is running 100,000 people a year MORE than normal

- people that hate Australia have been allowed to stay and spread their hate with no sanction

Australia has been LOSING under Labor and the PM thinks that anyone that complains about it is being disrespectful.

If the PM wants more respect he could try doing a better job.

Now there are no climate reporters at CBS News; WaPo laid off fourteen "climate journalists".

Climate scam journalism is dying!

The Australian housing market is getting hammered, and there are two key culprits.

The first is the Albanese government’s shock decision to impose one of the world’s highest rates of effective capital gains tax on investment properties, while banning negative gearing on established homes – among many punitive new imposts, including an unprecedented 30 per cent tax on family trusts.

The second culprit is the Reserve Bank of Australia’s embarrassing decision to reverse its politicised rate cutslast year, which has forced the cash rate back up from 3.6 per cent to 4.35 per cent. The RBA has had to jack up rates primarily because of Canberra’s crazy spending spree and its monster immigration intake, which have created excess demand and driven an entrenched cost-of-living crisis.

The federal budget deficit is claimed to be $32 billion this year – but that is just the “underlying” number. The real headline deficit is forecast to be double this, or $64 billion. So despite the inflation crisis, the pollies are pumping the economy with even more stimulus, which is exacerbating consumer price pressures.

The ensuing price action has been ugly. Over the past three months, Melbourne and Sydney home values have been declining at annualised rates of about 10 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively. Nationally, dwelling prices have been falling at a 5.3 per cent annualised pace over the same period.

I really feel for the young first home buyers who were told by the government to get into a 5% deposit mortgage right before the government started crashing house prices.

It's not right to saddle young first home buyers with an absolute mountain of debt they wouldn't have gotten into without the government scheme.

The major parties are still in a spin over mono vs multi culturalism. I won't be changing my tune on this.

No matter what race, country or ethnicity you come from, we all need to aspire to be united under one flag and one set of rules. It's a shame that Anthony Albanese and Angus Taylor can't wrap their head around that.

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm.

He warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, saying that entire coastlines would have to be redrawn.

Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened, not even close.

Meanwhile, Gore has gotten very rich. While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. He became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k plus speaking fees and carbon credit trading.

Al Gore didn't save the planet, he monetized fear.

NAILED it @DHughesy 🔥
A lifelong @AustralianLabor voter and comedian gets it. These brutal CGT changes crush the next generation’s chance to build wealth.
Taxing kids’ modest share gains at 30%? Discouraging aspiration, investment, and the very mobility Australia needs.
This isn’t ‘fairness’, it’s economic vandalism that hurts young Australians most.
Time to reverse it. Stop this insane new tax #StopTheCGT #StopInsaneCGT #AussieDreamKiller

You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.

[Kat A 🌸 @SaiKate108]

Albo couldn’t wait to jump on the cancel Karl bandwagon.

Now Karl has fired back - rightly pointing out the PM lied to the people yet still gets to keep is job.

One man condemned for speaking freely and honestly.

The other lies to the entire Nation and stays in power.

The sheer hypocrisy of it all is astounding.

#BREAKING A large group of Middle Eastern men and woman brought Sydney to a standstill yesterday, disrupting traffic and pedestrians alike with a protest right down the middle of the Sydney CBD from Hyde Park's Archibald Fountain.

They screamed slogans "Labbaik Ya Hussain" and "Every land is Karbala every day”

This is an example of migrants not assimilating to Australian culture and would be a very confronting scene for everyday Australians just trying to go about their day in peace.

Albanese and Tony Burke have allowed this to happen.

They have betrayed Australia and its people.
