Yes I know someone who has used Self Managed Fund to buy property. They then roll-over the Capital Gains when they sell a property. It is set up to avoid Tax.

They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it. 10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged. They called it justice. We call it genocide. Now they’re banning books so you never find out. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they fear. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

No job is worth losing your self-respect & dignity. Reminds of the sycophants Trump surrounds himself with. GR obviously considers herself a female Trump.

I believe you should have retained your Ministry. I am very upset as is my family & friends that Marles (whom none of us like) has put his ambition first. Your support for the Palestinians was a lone voice 😢

Planes were briefly “flying blind” into Newark Liberty International Airport last week after a communications blackout occurred. Sources said the outage lasted 90 seconds on April 28th and shook up the on-duty controllers so much that some were placed on “trauma leave.”

Control Meltdown Left Planes ‘Flying Blind’ at Major Airport
Air traffic controllers lost contact with planes flying into Newark Liberty International Airport last week. A “fried piece of copper wire” may be to blame.

A lot of the reforms Labor had on its agenda were blocked in the Senate. Labor never gets a co-operative & cohesive Senate. So much could be achieved. The Labor left will be pushing a stronger social agenda as well as action for Palestine whilst balancing spending debt & inflation.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

I give up with people.
A selfie-style photograph shows Millie Bobby Brown and a young man, Owen Cooper, smiling at the camera. They appear to be at a Liverpool FC football stadium, as the background shows the red seats of a large, mostly full stadium and a green football pitch. Millie Bobby Brown is on the left side of the frame, and Owen Cooper is slightly behind and to her right. Both are wearing dark-colored jackets and white shirts. Millie Bobby Brown has her dark hair pulled back in braids. Owen Cooper is wearing a dark suit jacket and a black tie. A lanyard with the word "Anfield" is visible around his neck. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
Above the photo is a tweet from the official Liverpool FC account, @LFC, which reads: "Millie Bobby Brown and Owen Cooper here to support the Reds 🤩🔴". Below the tweet are engagement icons for likes (720), retweets (4.1K), quote tweets (183K), and views (20M).
Above the Liverpool FC tweet is another tweet from a user named Tom Nestor (@tomnestorcomic) with the text: "He literally stabbed a 13 year old girl".
Below the image is a tweet from Skylar Skye (@SkylarSkye14) replying to Tom Nestor, stating: "That was in a TV show not real life Tom".

Protesters to Rally in Brooklyn After Pro-Israel Crowd Assaults Woman
The police were investigating the attack in Crown Heights, where hundreds of pro-Israel demonstrators surrounded a woman and hurled slurs at her. More protests were expected on Monday.

After voting for the Independent candidate in the pre-polls I have since found out she supports the defunding of the Palestinian aid agency UNRWA. I was so angry. She & the Liberal candidate have the same policy on Palestine. It didn't all come out until 6 days ago.

What is happening at a number of pre-polls & not getting the publicity it should is the bullying & aggression by some of the LNP volunteers. I guess when your leader is a thug & a bully it filters down. I would say this is the dirtiest election I have known.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Majority of policies to assist women have been initiated by the Labor Party. DV requires a why & how approach. The reason the LNP are suddenly realising it is an issue is because they want to drag back the female vote. It is not going to happen.

I'm pleased/impressed to find that this quote attributed to the late Pope Francis (and dated just a few days ago) is authentic: "Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell."

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
