New data shows property investors buying almost twice as many homes as first-home buyers thanks to government tax breaks. Average property investor loan is ~ $100,000 larger than the average loan taken out by a first-home buyer, which guarantees investors a leg up at auctions.

I don’t know when Labor governments stop trying to please conservatives and learn that even by adopting their talking points and agreeing they’ll still get slammed - SO WHY NOT STAND FOR THE ACTUAL TRUTH AND WHAT’S RIGHT but it’s not today. This goes for appointments too

You're STILL approving ecosphere-destroying fossil fuel projects.

Sit down.

All the sycophants, apologists, & enablers that applauded @australianlabor.bsky.social's EPBC 2.0 are about to find out just how much they've been duped. Can't say it wasn't obvious what was going to happen. Passing laws without really solid national environmental standards was never a good move.

Fuck Ethan's mum.

Poor Ethan.
He didn't stand a chance.
