I mention Hobart as it’s my capital city. We would also get hammered in our state’s health, aged care, disability, building, tech, etc. labour markets.
It’s silver bullet thinking an no policy depth.
PHON is a lubricated delivery system to insert billionaire oriented policy into the working class.

Absolutely. Well aware of it and it’s not identical to here. Canada shows cuts ease rents short-term, but doesn’t fix affordability. Building slowed, labour shortages grew, and prices stayed high. In Hobart’s tighter market, you’d likely get a brief dip, then supply constraints push costs back up.

It’s base populism with no understanding of the economic reality. Very PHON.
The economic reality is they won’t be able to buy a house because, with the exception of limited easing of immediate rental pressure, there will be a halt to new stock coming online, and increased building costs.

On Ben Roberts Smith war crimes, it’s a major problem in this dumb country that the wrongheaded views of Gina Rinehart are reported on as they are. She inherited a mining fortune. That’s it. She’s irrelevant. Or should be. #insiders

Gatekeeping and golden megaphones have inflicted endless harm on the working class.
We are lucky we don’t have the US’s shit electoral system or we’d be even more fucked than we are.

The one way it does help is that it reduces the overall reliance on fossil fuels. Imagine if the ALP didn’t have the subsidies on EVs and home batteries in place so far, and we were in exactly the same global environment. We would be worse off than we are, including those still using ICE.

Autocorrect changed Waleed to Walked which is apt given the subject so I’m leaving it.

Walked. Infrastructure was literally just raised in the interview, and Speeeersy wanted to move back to the tax breaks. Dude. Were you playing Candy Crush or what?

FFS Speers trying for a gotcha on EV purchase incentives and road user charges. Not a fucking word on DIESEL subsidies propping up the fossil fuel regime by billions !! #insiders

If I cut back my neighbour’s hedge by a metre inside their boundary because I want to create a buffer, I’d be a cunt.
If I poisoned their lawn a metre inside their boundary to create a buffer, I’d be a cunt.
If I murdered my neighbours children…
Hey it’s complicated.

To be fair, Speeeeersy, I don’t reckon anyone will be happy at the bowser paying a toll to Iran OR the US.
This is the USA’s toll gate.

Apparently, Rowan Dean of Sky News has taken great offence to an old Alexei Sayle quote where he called Israel the Jimmy Saville of nation states and I would like to thank Sky News Australia for bringing this absolute cracker back into the light of day.
I will use it whenever possible.

Dear Humans,

If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire.

Thanks,

God

I find Trump refreshing, as much as it is possible to feel anything other than horror at the evil that he represents.
The USA has long delivered such threats of war crimes against sovereign nations, just more diplomatically & massaged.
This will be a They Live moment for many.

I’m no expert but I’d have a go at the budget.
Tax resources.
Reduce concessions on wealthiest.
Nationalise essential services, including fuel refining, grocery, housing, public transport, etc etc.
Then prepare for the US to invade I mean “liberate” us.
Easy.

Did Sheridan just say the quiet part out loud in regard to his failure to write columns about Trump’s insider trading? 😆

Sheridan is emblematic of the problem with politics today.
Presents as sophisticated and considered but it is shallow and emotive, it is not founded in fact or historical context…
Rhetoric on parade.
If Hastie is a leader, we are done.

An exposition does not a factual analysis make, Di.
Hastie made several easily challenged comments about renewables, batteries, the political background to the refinery closures, even how those decisions relate to core centre-right ideology.
But apparently he’s leader in waiting.

On today’s #insiders Andrew Hastie demonstrates that he’s no good at relaying the glib lines of others.
He totally stuffed the ‘home batteries are dodgy ‘ section.
I wonder if #welldoneAngus Taylor told him to say it.
Cringe! #auspol

“We can’t keep bailing out assets when they’re not cost-competitive” but Gillard, following a govt enquiry into the closures, saying the closure of two major refineries being a commercial decision is apparently a crime of some sort.
Hastie missed his true calling. Jazz musician.

Hastie sounds an awful lot like a socialist when it suits his narrative and an awful lot like an idiot when it doesn’t.

BTW, there’s a lot of talk about putting stricter controls and raising taxes on our natural resources in order to improve social welfare, lift Australians out of poverty and put our national interests first.
What would be a good Aussie word for a US supported coup?
Chucking a cooey?

Watching ABC Insiders (so you don’t have to) but it’s a perfect illustration of the vacancy of Australian politics. Interviewing Barnaby Joyce in a big hat and then Matthew Knott and Jane Norman trying to explain energy policy. It’s embarrassing
