Policy Talk

A thread that defies reality. This government is a million times better than Morrison's and the anti-Albo tripe is way, way over the top. Open to criticism, yes. This nonsense, no.

There's always one.

But an even bigger thing to look at is debt recycling, which is particularly useful for someone who inherits a large sum or simply has some spare cash. Here’s how that works. If someone has a home loan and $500,000 in a bank account, they could take $499,999 of that money and put in their home loan. They could then redraw the entire amount and use that money to buy an investment such as a share portfolio. “That means that all the interest costs on that debt are then fully tax-deductible because it’s for investment purposes. And so you’re talking about a really significant tax deduction. If you think the average mortgage size in Australia is like $700,000-odd, then $40,000 a year of the interest on that could then become tax deductible,” Nash says. “It’s a great strategy. It’s one that we use quite a lot with our clients, particularly the higher-income earners.”

If you want to get just how rigged the tax system is for the rich, have a read of this tip from the AFR "wealth reporter"

Paywalled.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

This is insane. The ramblings of a madman.

And only believed by mad men and women.

The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me.

Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

Rex, your obsession with Albo, while giving Dutton a free rein, is not winning you any friends.

👇👇

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

ABC's #Insiders is now #SkyNews on Sunday. Smarmy Liberal Party fanboy David Speers blatantly uses the program to push the LNP agenda. It is not fair or balanced. It does not accurately reflect the current Parliament (rarely interviewing Teal independents.) It is not journalism. #auspol #AusVotes25

Rex shifting his bile from Albo to Malinauskas.

Worst paper in Australia.

Editorial: A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. In the past several weeks, the U.S. leadership has demonstrate...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Fuck Donald Trump
Fuck JD Vance
Fuck Marco Rubio
Fuck Lindsey Graham

Fuck ALL the spineless, hypocritical, lying, worthless, traitorous Republican bastards.

They're desperately backtracking. Losing subscribers.

So, I guess they’re not draining the swamp after all, but instead are filling it up even more. Do I have that right? 🤷🏼‍♂️

What a disgusting human being Donald Trump is.

One of the duopoly will govern. Constant criticism of Labor not solving every issue is why it's now line ball.

Enjoy Dutton, because you don't learn from history.

Why link to a paywalled article?

With him, forget the obvious bias, his incompetence and lack of understanding of political issues is appalling.

Yes, they haven't been perfect and solved my pet issues immediately, so vote for Voldemort.

Nose, spite, face.

News Corp and Dutton are LOVING the whinging “progressive” movement against Labor. They’re loving every minute of it.

Serious question for my followers. What’s your priority for the upcoming federal election? Railing against the two party system, or stopping Dutton becoming PM? And if your answer is “both”, you’re not being realistic about what it will take to stop Dutton becoming PM.

Yes, exactly! Boo fucking hoo.

Oh really. And in a free market, so what given the action now taken.

It's expected from the Coalition-backed MSM, but so disappointing from the ABC.

And journalists have a problem with the standing of their 'profession'.

Trump intervention suspected as Andrew Tate, brother Tristan leave Romania for U.S. despite rape charges Four British women who've accused Andrew Tate of rape are "in disbelief and feel retraumatized by the news" that he's been allowed to leave Romania for the U.S.

Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.

Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

The political report on the news is now the only part of the news that is opinion, not news.
