Good point

I'm sure I'm the eleventy millionth person to point this out but if the Rapture lifts all the hardcore evangelicals up to heaven and they're totally happy about it while the rest of us just get to stay down here and carry on without them it's a win-win situation. #GoTheRapture

Inequality has meant Australia collects less GST.

There are better ways to collect more revenue than just raising the GST, which would hurt poorer people more.

✅ Apply GST to private school fees and private health insurance
✅Tax the gas industry properly

And if the do take this line, it will be a shallow political game not backed by the actual beliefs and ideologies of party members.

Why the great productivity debate is totally unproductive Productivity is dominating headlines, but is it really possible to measure in Australia?

Interesting analysis of the productivity argument and its application into an economy like ours where 80% work in a form of service industry www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Good news and no surprises at the positive outcomes of the trial of the Basic Income foe the Arts (BIA) in Ireland. Time to give it a go in Aus hey #auspol?

Reality?

Thanks Denise. 😊

For those interested in the outcome in Grey, community independent Anita Kuss was eliminated from the full preference count end of Thursday last week, 1500 votes behind Labor. A great effort. #auspol @deniseshrivell.bsky.social
