In Labor's mind 'patriotism' is handing over billions in public funds, defence & foreign policy to the US. And being 'progressive' is gutting funding for people with a disability and veterans healthcare to pay for it. If this is 'Labor Left' god knows what Labor right is up to.

The root cause of $29B in Defence blowouts over the last decade is Defence’s inability to appreciate project risk. The Govt can’t announce a believable Defence procurement shakeup without cancelling #AUKUS - our most costly and risk laden project. #auspol

When contacted by SkyNews.com.au at the time, Ms Wilcox unleashed an extraordinary expletive-laden rant.

“Why in God's name do you think I would answer the questions of Murdoch's petty little propaganda operation, to give them more fuel for their campaign of hatred?” she said.

“The irony of me having to answer to charges of hatred when your grubby outfit gives not one shit about what you do to people you target.

“Remind the boss about how much they cared about free speech when one of theirs was in the spotlight.

“Political correctness gone mad, eh? You and your hit squad goons can fuck right off.”

A 10% fall in house prices would take affordability back to 2023 levels. So let's stop the fricking scare campaigns that the CGT changes will destroy the economy. They are the start of a very long road to recovery www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
Twenty-six years ago, the average dwelling price in Australia was equal to nine years and four months’ worth of per-capita household disposable income. In the first three months of this year, the average dwelling price of $1.11m was equivalent to 17 years and four months of current average household disposable income.

If dwelling prices were 10% lower, they would be equal to 15 years and seven months – or where it was three years ago:

Just a reminder why taxing capital gains is a good idea: as asset prices explode across rich economies, the CGT is the closest thing Australia has to a proper wealth tax. Why should people making money off shares or investments pay a low rate of tax than a nurse or a plumber?

We're constantly told we need new oil and gas developments because of shortages in the east coast gas market in Australia. The reality is that Japan is buying our gas and onselling more of it every year than we use on the east coast. Japan has created an industry out of selling Australian gas.
