Government ignores AUKUS 'very high risk' warning from the Admiral in charge - Michael West
AUKUS faces huge risks, and the Cabinet knows. But as the Government ships money to the US, with more to follow, the taxpayer isn’t told.

As a courier driver you have front row seats to how the economy is doing, works slows = economy slows, work gets busy = economy booming.

I see that Australia has a criminality score of 4.00 - which places us 152nd out of 193 countries.
But it doesn't include white-collar 'crimes' - and schemes like the Morrison government's unlawful Robodebt - which can have more victims and longer-lasting consequences. #auspol

Why doesn't Dutton ever say "I'm a property developer"?
He's been a property developer longer than he has been a politician or a police officer
Police officer was his shortest career of his 3 jobs but he makes it his primary career, it's not

My takeaways from 100+ voter conversations in Sydney and Central Coast in past months:
* Cost of living no1 issue but nobody really blames Albo
* Hardly anybody has heard of any of the solutions on offer
* People think Dutton = Trump
Coalition seem cooked.

If Dutton’s path to victory cuts through Sydney, he has problems
In conversations with voters from Gordon to Liverpool, cost of living and housing featured again and again – but few blamed Labor and Albanese for the price rises.

#MillionairePeterDutton indeed.💥 Extract from "The Saturday Paper" shows asset sales of nearly $12,000,000 between 2020 & 2023. Yet he brings his son out to say he can't afford to buy a home. Where is the almost $12M now? Hidden? Such deceitful tactics. Don't trust Dutton!

And this tbh is the best outcome - using Trusts, companies and superannuation can *really* muddy the waters on how much tax he might have paid.
Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500.
That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%
