Michael Pascoe: Beware the next election budgethttps://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2021/07/27/michael-pascoe-election-budget/ Given current polling and the vaccination schmozzle, the odds are favouring the government hanging on to the benefits of incumbency as long as possible, hoping the vaccine bungles will fade, the shots work, peace breaks out over our internal borders, and the promises of opening up start to look more credible. That would mean a repeat of the 2019 timetable – an April budget ahead of a May election. Given the government’s denial, dissembling and deflection over blatant and systemic corruption last time, fasten your seat belts for even more rorting of the public purse for political purposes. And with Labor caving in on the stage-three tax cuts and reforming negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount, we could be facing the biggest vote-buying campaign since Kevin Rudd and John Howard were trying to outbid each other in the boom year of 2007. The joint Labor-Liberal tax ticket means that in 2024-25, if someone with a taxable income of $180,000 sells a few shares in their portfolio for a $20,000 profit, they will pay only 15 per cent tax on that – $3000. At the same time, someone on an average wage of $80,000 with no tax deductions will pay 30 per cent – $6000 – on the last $20,000 of their income after working for three months to earn it. Someone on a median wage of $60,000 (and unlikely to have much in the way of negative gearing or extra superannuation deductions) will pay $5450 tax on their final $20,000 of income that took four months to earn. (And as we’ve reported numerous times, the effective marginal tax rate for many people on median wages and lower is vastly higher, quite often much higher than that of people on seven figures and more.) ... |

It is a sure fire way to victory, tax hardest the people to stupid to realise they're losing because of it, while telling them you'll look out for them, it's the LNP way!

Alan Kohler: Allowing some families to be financially ruined is unforgivablehttps://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/finance-news/2021/08/02/lockdown-costs-alan-kohler/ Last year’s lockdowns were only briefly painful for the economy because of the JobKeeper program, at a cost of $93 billion. It was both great policy and a debacle: It saved the economy because of its speed and generosity, and saved hundreds of thousands of people and businesses from going under, but too much of the money was stolen from under the government’s noses. Almost every day a new story reveals more details about how the scheme was mismanaged and rorted. If any scandal ever deserved a royal commission, it’s this. |

Wonder if Scommo's assuming preaching duties in his Idol's absence?

I'm sure captain smug could step up and whip up a storm of god fearing evangelism, talk in tongues and bless the true believers.
On the other hand it is difficult to keep that smug face when sidestepping questions about car park rorts. Failing to answer the simple question "why did there need to be a list of marginal seats presented before funding was allocated?" he looked very trumpian when he stormed out of the press conference

Unfortunately, he’ll be unable to get home due to lack of flights. Despite his best endeavours, of course

No because corrupt practice is legal under current laws - we made damn sure of it.

Come on Bob there's little comparison between the two.
The Victorian Labor Party misused $388,000 whilst the Coalition corruptly pork barreled $660 million. |

Principles are the same. What's the difference between $388,000 and $660 million between friends ?

The essential difference?
Well Victorian Labor won perhaps one other seat in what was a landslide victory, whilst the Coalition arguably and some would say clearly won/retained sufficient seats as a result of its entirely bogus promises to win Government by the narrowest of margins.

never easy having to re-hash the intimate details in front of strangers...and have them revealed in the press... That is one of the main reasons a lot of women remain silent... I wish her strength... |

Though those well in in Canberra know full well who he is. A person who thoroughly enjoyed macho pisss-ups with blokes but who had zero affinity with females.
A spike 'em and abuse 'em type, who'll hopefully get what he deserves. Particularly if other abused staffers face their demons and agree to further attest his abhorrent behavior.

Agree. PT's post arguably implicates the the 250,000 Bruce's in Oz, and the scores of parliamentary staffers by the name of Bruce.

I can't recall an accused and formally charged rapist's name NOT being reported before. Why is this dude being treated different?
The deal is, they are only reported on we are only interested because we know who they are.

He hasn't been formally charged yet. He is being charged, and will appear before the court for that purpose in September.

"Mr Bleep was initially allowed to quietly resign from his position with the Liberal Party within days of the alleged rape before being parachuted into a cushy corporate lobbyist job."

Media complicit in the cover-up The list of people that the media have named before a police investigation or charges were laid is a mile-long such as actor Craig McLachlan, footballer Jarryd Hayne and former High Court of Australia judge Dyson Heydon who has never been charged. So why not Bleep Bleep? There is no legal basis for the media not to name Bleep Bleep and by not naming him the only people who are benefiting are the people trying to cover it up which includes Scott Morrison and the government. The media are happy to name anyone and everyone almost all of the time except in certain “special cases” such as this one and I have no doubt that Scott Morrison’s office has called in favours to make sure he is not named by the old media. https://kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2021/04/18/act-police-confirm-they-are-still-investigating-brittany-higgins-rape-allegation-but-refuse-to-answer-questions-regarding-alleged-rapist-bleep-bleep |
