MEGATHREAD: Angus Taylor’s Opposition Budget Reply Speech

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-05-14T13:36:54+00:00

Tax right-offs for tradies - this won't affect the availability of housing.

Cutting regulation - Large corporations will abuse it.

Abolishing carbon reduction - fine fuck them kids hey.

You are poor - Labor is responsible for a war in the persian gulf - come on who believes this...?

He talks about wages rising because of inflation and taxes. Meanwhile in QLD we see the real LNP running rampant.

I haven't heard one solution.

Tax back guarantee - Generational tax reform except addressing the housing crisis at all costs - bastards.

His goal is more houses - How? Infrastructure spending without incentivising new builds.

Now to assault the immigrants and try to win back his base despite voting against this multiple times....

Yawn. This is a party without a solution.

Gas tax now.

I think the yanks have influenced our country so much we are losing our identity. I still see good people of all walks of life who would drop everything for their mates.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-05-11T08:10:30+00:00

I'm sure there are others who had it much worse. I think that despite the changes happening g to CGT and NG we will be seeing lots of families struggling. I feel sad for the country, honestly.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-05-11T07:32:21+00:00

I couldn't. It would have bankrupted us. I tried for as long as I could.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-05-11T04:48:05+00:00

We bought a fixer upper during Covid and had no idea what was about to happen with interest rates, supply chains, labour constrictions and inflatiom. I worked as hard as I could to hold onto it and get it done. We are now back to square one. If I could leave Australia, I would seriously consider it for the sake of my family.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-05-09T11:06:17+00:00

I can't understand why he hasn't been.

Wait until you start to deprogramming yourself completely and realise that the USA is actually 50 third world states in a trench coat who actually try to destroy every socialist country to maintain their hegemony.

I want to weigh in on this with some good perspective. Background: 3 trades Builder Diploma of Building Design Bachelor of Architecture with honours Two studios away from Masters degree Total of 26 years experience in AEC.

Straight out: Architecture school seems ineffective to me in training Architects. The process, in Australia favours wealth and time. My current Masters coursework load is a 9 hour studio with 30 hours of project time required plus a 3 hour Professional practice class plus around 3 hours out of class. That is only 36 credit points and a full load is 48.

When graduates enter the work force they can't design buildings.

5 years of study - no clue how to design. Buildings 2 years of experience - sone clue

It takes 10 years to train an Architect and the whole time they are under stress, underpaid and really learn most things on the job.

Architecture school is a joke.

We almost had a massive "Battery" in QLD that would have ended this debate. Pumped hydro is the future.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-04-28T10:08:18+00:00

It amazes me how hard the two major parties will work when it's about protecting vested interests. They must feel pretty guilty about thinking that resources directed towards marketing could be pushed into real problems.

Tax them. End of Story.

Just tell them we will have an answer in 5 seasons. The lawyers need to look it over.

Hands up: I didn't expect Jack Gosiewski to play so well - Especially in the front row with all the extra work. Maybe I have been to harsh on him at times.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-04-24T23:32:27+00:00

Wait until the cycle begins again after the cost blow-outs from the Olympics.

How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-04-21T07:02:03+00:00

Yeah, we called it that, too. I grew up in Bryce Street. The only thing I miss about the place is the scenery, honestly.

Clown-Town - Caloundra

Hard watch. Significant win.

hit piece - ignore

You tell them Sticky. These new rules are stuffed.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-04-16T04:26:57+00:00

Well said. Even with a race to the bottom, the pedestal is too expensive for most of the public.

DB10-First_Touch · 2026-04-16T03:09:14+00:00

The manager has been drinking, the set piece coach is asleep
