OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Avenger]

so you will be about $100/week better of in July?

I was going to be nearly $200 a week better off. That’s my point.

100% Scotty and his crew also wasted that cash.

Scotty has apparently got a new gig in the States according to Triple J Insta, no idea what it is though

They said he's a lobbyist for a defence company involved in AUKUS. Merkins are blowing up because he has all the goss and apparently that's not on. IIRC Andrew Robb did the same, as did Christopher Pyne.

Hey as long as she gets her tax cuts she don't care! Which btw will be over 100 a few week...


It is funny I see Melissa McIntosh on the radio complaining about flight paths.. You would not hear boo if Scotty was still PM!

As if you need it.
f**king whinger.

This thread has been funny.
For a select few, one party can do no wrong. Unbelievable.
As much as I think Albo has made a decent decision re these tax cuts, he has lied. He has backed down from an election promise that he made. No excuses, however they are put forward can deny that. That is what is amusing because some here just won't admit that, regardless of what facts are put before them.
I'm neither a Liberal nor Labor s**t. I just expect the govt in power to do what is best for the country.
Both sides of the spectrum make terrible mistakes but at other times, make great decisions.

He lied. I agree its a good move. But let's not blame it on he wasn't able to predict the economy etc. Why did he say it in the first place? Imo to gain votes.

if Scomo was still in power he would have sorted all this shit by now

Well, If you were his policy advisor, what would you have recommended he do ? I have said this before, in politics it is common to set these ticking time bombs.

Scott Morrison and the politics of self-laid booby traps

The Prime Minister is laying traps that may one day snare him.

So if you get elected and find yourself with a booby-trapped economy, do you cut the blue wire or the red wire ? There is no easy answer. One way is to lie and avoid the hard questions until you are ready to reverse the legislation. The other is to deal with it head on, but that will mean that you face the scrutiny of the media about what you are going to do in 18/24 months time every-single-day. You’ll quickly become a government with no plan, no direction.

So he cut the blue wire. At the press club yesterday, he said that he sought advice from Treasury over summer and cabinet made the call on Tuesday. So it was only on Tuesday that they changed their mind to regig they tax model. That’s his line and he’s sticking with it. There’s an election September 2025. This is all calculated to the day, to the minute.

Just......... admit................. it.............................Gronkles.........


He lied, you can do it we all believe in you..................

 

[strider]

Hey! Albo doesnt lie ffs! ... his word is his bond.


Maybe he is a bit more clag than gorilla glue.

 

[Gronk]

People are hurting out there. I get it, but sometimes you have to take one for the team.

 

[Suitman]

This is one way to protest.
Lol.

First lie is his partner. He is clearly still hiding in the closet
