The super tax debate is divorced from reality – and more proof that Australia’s tax system is built for the rich | Greg Jericho
The proposal will affect only 0.5% of people with superannuation and yet you would think the government is about to seize the means of production

Worried you might one day have more than $3m in super and then might get less of a tax break? First off, seriously, you are worried about having $3m in super?? Secondly, as @grogsgamut.bsky.social writes, stop worrying you are not going to ever have $3m australiainstitute.org.au/post/dont-be...
Chart showing that even if someone starts work today aged 18 on $106,000 and gets a 3.7% pay rise every ever, they will still only have $2.1m in super when they retire

For those wondering, the last time the federal Coalition split was in 1987, under pressure from the Qld nationals during the failed Joh for Canberra push. The Hawke govt went on to win Labor's biggest HOR majority (until 2025). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joh_for... #auspol #qldpol #ozhist

Ok. I think we’ve had enough “why did the Libs lose” articles. Let’s move on to things that matter, rather than the trivial inner workings of a minor party.

Overhaul the tax system you say? OK. End the Capital Gains Tax discount... improve the PRRT... bring in a wealth tax.... also a broad super profits tax. Cheers, thanks for the suggestion.

i’m of the view that it would be genuinely idiotic for the white house to invoke the insurrection act if it wants to stay in power. if you are going to call out troops to confront throngs of protesters, you need to be extremely confident that they will obey every order given to them.

You know you live in authoritarian times when it’s acceptable to vilify/harass LGBT folk, migrants, Palestinians, disabled people but those who speak up for such groups are caged or deported. Bigots are free to speak while those who endure bigotry are silenced. This isn’t free speech — it’s fascism.

Dutton harbours dreams of Kirribilli, but Australians never liked a Sydney bias
In framing their Constitution, the Australian people rejected Sydney as the federal capital. Perhaps Peter Dutton needs a refresher.

Women don't choose to work predominantly in low paying sectors. The work predominantly done by women is under valued. And even in those sectors they earn less than men. And when women do work in "high paying" sectors, they earn less than men.
