The 5% deposit guarantee has done what everyone expected to housing affordability. But fixing the capital gains tax discount would be a great move

No one cares, this is just a repeat of a failed sit com, same old characters dragged out, spouting the same old bullshit, all forming a circle to stab each other in the back, boring.... I will never understand why people find this garbage exciting, just bury the lot of em.

For those just now deciding to never vote Labor, I decided that in 2024.
Last election I used Langer's vote & focused on no one getting a senate majority.
We need proportional voting in the H of Reps

I stopped in 2022, when they decided that those receiving social security payments would got back to abject poverty, and allowed the bashing of poor people to continue, among other lazy, stupid policy, they became just like the LNP, in some ways worse. No respect for genocide supporters either.

CBA has raked in $5.4bn in profit in half year results while ANZ's profit rose to $1.94bn & the average mortgage is up $70,000 in last 12 months. It's no secret that in a housing crisis the big banks’ obscene profits come directly from mortgagees & renters.

It's about propaganda to gain control, these politicians and business spivs want control so they can make more money, and have more power. Greed is at the core of this, like everything else in this world, and these people want to murder to achieve their goal of money and power. I won't be silenced.

I'm of Jewish ethnicity, I am NOT Israeli, I do not support Israel's genocide, murder, theft of land and violence. Herzog is a war criminal, NOT my "head of state". Politicians and corporations want control not cohesion, this is all about greed for money and power. Politicians can get fucked.

Thank you to all those marching, I can't be there, but I sincerely appreciate all of you for marching against this Herzog the war criminal being invited to OUR parliament. We need to start voting for people who don't support war criminals and genocide. Labor and the LNP/ON are genocide supporters.

It's a game of words for Penny Wong. Platitudes galore! This Labor government is a massive disappointment when it comes to upholding humanitarian principles. Inviting Herzog is a huge miscalculation, it demonstrates where Labor's priorities lie, not with the oppressed but with the oppressors.
