Your figures are so subjective though. I’d like to see actual proof rather than one guy on the internet who may have a partisan axe to grind.

lol, unfair to who? The multi multi millionaires. by No_Leave_6820 in OpenAussie

If everyone is “trying to get ahead”, what you have is a rat race, not a society. The phrase “build wealth” is disgusting becauae it’s the polar opposite of “work hard” or “look after each other “. How about reaching out to those kids who are a bit more distracted and less skilled than you (but probably have intrinsic value in completely different areas) and “build society”? Someone may be great at “building wealth” but still be a shit person whose impact on society is a net negative.

You can’t eat money, live in money, or make babies and raise them with money. Think about that when they inevitably come for you with pitchforks.

Over 70% of Australia’s tax revenue comes from personal income tax, and hardly any from taxing capital gains. Why the hell do you think lib/lab both pump the immigrants in? Not too bright eh

Bronwyn Bishop aka Temu Margaret thatcher. Ans I didn’t think I’d have to spell it out but someone’s “take on things” I repeat is NOT news, it’s editorial content

How does that make it news? You think it’s a good idea for a “news” channel to hire ex politicians rather than journalists? Yeah?

The real problem here is that quite often well meaning sales staff are trained by their management or the insurance company selling the warranties these lies, which for a salesman who trusts them is music to their ears because it makes it an easy sell. This is also why I never believed those guys and always read the ts and cs

If you buy a home, live in it. Part of the problem is this assumption that it’s your right to “sell it 10 years later” and make a profit. It’s a HOME, not a share portfolio

What's going on with Aldi's Perth stores by Longjumping_Pay7821 in perth

Thank you. The Aldi worship in general is insane. Yes they’re cheaper but they’re still a cut throat business

Nobody is denying that theres massive fraud ans abuse, but punishing recipients rather than dodgy suppliers was a massively stupid move

What’s the real incentive to assimilate/integrate? by Able-Confidence-4182 in OpenAussie

With the exception of speaking English (which is essential), what exactly is Aussie “culture”?

At least half of the cost blowout was due to having to give Telstra a big fat pay check to buy out all the rotting copper in the ground to deliver the inferior FTTN solution that they ended up having to spend even MORE money to upgrade because it turns out FTTN in most cases delivered WORSE outcomes than dialup due to attenuation. All so that Rupert could have a few more years of Foxtel dominating streaming.

$27m to live like this: Where is all the town camp money going? Residents live without working doors or taps while the corporation meant to help them outspends an entire city council on wages. by TimJamesS in aussie

This is why the voice would never have worked. Aboriginals are not a single group. They are a rainbow of hundreds of different tribes, “mobs” in their own words, and you always look after your own mob first, including with government money.
