OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Twizzle]

Actually I don’t Twiz. You mean in my local electorate?

yeah, that one

so these local issues you mention are they on the to do list of your local member ?

if so then that's all I was asking, its very different up here, our local issues change a lot

 

[Chipmunk]

Actually I don’t Twiz. You mean in my local electorate? If so it’s blue ribbon Liberal and all I want is a tunnel, high speed ferry or light rail linking Cronulla to the eastern suburbs. The M8 is a start but stage 2 won’t commence from Miranda until God knows.

So you want the Commonwealth to pay for your State responsible issues?

They’ve been promising that road forever. Stage 1 from Ramsgate will be finished this year but the one connecting that bit to I think Helensburgh is decades away.

 

[Comfy]

I know your views and have no issues with you submitting your opinions

I know, never said you didn't!

 

[Comfy]

yawn

Still not an argument

 

[Avenger]

So you want the Commonwealth to pay for your State responsible issues?

I don’t care who pays. Both my local (state and liberal) members are Liberal. I just want the Liberal party to go back to old. Christian values and kick out the garbage. We also need to be less woke.

I’m not going to bite. However maybe you should try another few posts, by then I’ll be home and be on my first course of afternoon rakija shots.

I also just got off the shitter. Need to get back to work.

All the best Cumfart.

To help Albo.

Gee, it’s just bad luck and a lack of resources for poor Albo.

 

[Gronk]

To help Albo.

If they were planning on helping Albo, it would have already been happening throughout 2024

This is ultimately the issue for Australia going forward. We've been pork-barrelled to the bejeesus that everyone just expects constant 'gifts' for your vote in a rolling cycle.

The reality is, no one wants to give up the 'welfare' benefits (both personal and commercial) they also receive, or pay any more tax, so where is this money coming from without a substantial increase in the tax base?

I already pay the highest tax rate and indirectly pay for at least a couple of single mums in Airds for their lifestyle which includes a daily dose of Horizon 50’s.

 

[Bandwagon]

My biggest issue with Albo is his limited presence and the fact that he lied about our tax cuts. He owes me.

I'm f**king glad he lied about the tax cuts. One of the few things he's done that takes a bit of balls was f**k off the LNP top up to those that are better off and redistribute it to those that needed it.

The original plan from Scotty was dogshit, and they only ever supported it because the dogshit part was f**king years away.

Do you need it?

That's all really state government anyhow, feds might promise a whack of cash to win some votes, but ultimately it comes down to the state government wanting it done.

You've got the same problem as me though, if you're in a safe safe seat, your vote in the house of reps might as well be drawing a cock and balls on your ballot, it don't change shit.

 

[Bandwagon]

Do you need it?

I don't, I would've ended up with the whole 11k theoretically, now it's about 4k I think.

But I minimize my tax as much as I can anyways, so the way my shit is structured it's not that simple, and in the end probably ends up making little to no difference.

 

[Bandwagon]

Why would there be a rate cut with inflation at around 2.5% and unemployment at 4%?

GDP number must go up

I'm still backing they hold.

 

[Bandwagon]

To help Albo.

You mean like they done with all the rises?

That it "helps Albo" or more so that it might be seen to be helping Albo is more a reason why they won't.

No merkin on the RBA board wants to bring in to question their independence. Jump that shark and the whole thing is a shit show.

It’s f**ked mate. The amount of debt these young people are in is ridiculous. I just cannot bare to to see my own kids go (long term) in silly debt for some dog box with rising strata levies in a dodgie building. That’s why I have to help them whilst I’m still here.

They are lucky I can.

 

[Avenger]

Even my brother who went through a messy divorce lost heaps so I have already bequeathed my share of our mum’s future estate to him and his son.

I don’t need it. He does and he deserves it.
