The Libs are flooding the FB zone with shyte abt how much better life would b under a coalition govt. 😬Tried that for 9 yrs. Didn’t like it Almost 100% of what they’re pitching is an extension of a brain fart that Dutton/Gina are pushing or an attack on Labor I have to wonder who is financing it

This is an LNP ad on FB. This is how puerile they are. No policies, all bullshyte. With regard to the excise cut - it is NOT cost of living relief. It has also been proven to be statistically incorrect. Fuel prices are at the mercy of fluctuations & fuel co’s. We saw that with Morrison govt “cut”

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Dutton says he'll apply a national interest test to big new gas projects if elected. But he'll also extend the North West Shelf EXPORT terminal, when Aust Institute research shows we get ZERO royalties for most of the exported gas? Doesn't seem like national interest to us. @markogge.bsky.social

Halving the fuel excise is a bad policy for the environment, but does it even deliver the $750 benefit Peter Dutton suggests? @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social ran the numbers and suggests most will get nothing like that amount #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/fuel-ex...
Table showing the avge benefit form having the fuel excise is $466.75 a year and for someone who only fills up once a fortnight it is $357. Not quite Dutton's $750!

What is the point in having billionaires in your country if they are not paying tax and contributing anything? How are they going to avoid tax if you directly levy it on their properties and businesses operating in your country? Answers - 1. No point, 2. They can't.

The only thing that Spudnik could come up with as a grand gesture to save ppl money & combat Labor is a temporary cut to the fuel excise Exactly the same thing Morrison did in a desperate attempt to win support Dud will oppose longterm Labor benefits & tax cuts for a short-term copycat “sugar hit”

Back in 2022, amidst a cost-of-living crisis when the Coalition were in govt & they cut the fuel excise tax in an effort to score votes.. ..fuel prices rose to the point where the excise cut had virtually no effect.. Spudnik’s excise cuts are dependent upon the whims of global fossil fuel. Irony

Channel 9 are being hammered on FB for spruiking Dutton’s “big” cut to fuel excise. I think more people can see thru this con job than the RW pundits bargained on. I expect Spudnik will go into hiding for a few days. If a recycled Morrison “cut” is the best he can do, the coalition are fckd.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price. Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd. Tariffs are a tax. You're paying for them.

Wow, the American right wing-owned National Post newspaper here in Canada sure wants you to not like Mark Carney today. It’s no surprise — as usual, they’re not being subtle about their bias. That’s ok. Makes me even more sure he’s the right candidate to beat Pierre Poilievre. #CanadaStrong

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.
