Address the massive inequalities caused by negative gearing & avoided capital gains taxes?
Can’t do it

PhD working title “She ain’t going to be right mate! “Improving Retirement Outcomes for women 45+ using Data-Driven Financial Security Forecasting”

Women 55+ are the fastest growing group of homeless in Australia t.co/ihBchqgL52

Income, housing and life events are key predictors.

And I should thank @squigglyrick.bsky.social as his 'Nervous Laughter' substack newsletter told me it was time to 'block the AI bots.'

In reality, they are thieves who just steal other's work and don't even acknowledge the creator(s) as if it's their own work.

F AI.

Failed #NACC costing Australians

#auspol

Governments had a duty of care to citizens, to cause no harm #Robodebt to not misuse funds #budget #aukus, to ensure we have access to food, clothing and shelter and access to health care. We don’t seem to have public servants or politicians who truly serve the public. #itstime

Happy New Year’s Eve 🥂

Celebrating with friends and family saying byeee to 2024 and here’s to a sensational 2025

Let’s do our bit to Vote more independents in so we can have a moral compass in parliament

Oh look - Albo’s electorate data I’ve put together on renters in Grayndler

44% of those aged 45+ are renters - where will they live as they age? Why we are seeing older people the fastest growing group of homeless

See the mortgage and rent stress from 2021

Surely we can do better

What keeps me up at night - median super balances at age 60-64 🙈

Our superannuation system is broken when at age 60 the median super balance for men is $211k and for women $158k

Meanwhile superfunds congratulate themselves.

Three Aussie legends taking about the state of politics in Australia

Why are Australian super funds and in fact government investment funds investing overseas?

Why we have a housing crisis while we prop up other countries 😳 No no no

Politics

I’ve been around politics all my life - in the 1970s my parents ethnic branch stacked for the ALP.

How it changed from community minded, advocacy to corporate vested interests is beyond comprehension. We are seeing the majors working against the public they are meant to serve. #auspol

The housing crisis - we are beyond anything I imagined in Australia

The fanfare about rent to buy and new build is just that. Our governments aren’t serious about solving this. #auspol

Australian social media ban …

Started with a call to act by politicians wife.

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp media backed the ban .

TikTok says ban could push youths to ‘darker corners of the internet’

Australia’s in trouble
Our superannuation system is not fit for purpose and didn’t consider housing insecurity and casualisation of work.

I wrote a paper about it primelifepartners.com/wp-content/u...
