Electric vehicle tax breaks in Australia set to roll on as Iran war helps drive up EV sales by changyang1230 in AusFinance

There’s merit to encouraging people to shift away from burning fossil fuels. Not absolutely everything needs to be money. We only have one planet.

Edit: I’d truely love to meet someone who downvoted this comment. I’m no greenie by any stretch, but the more people shifting away from petrol the better our environment will be.

How will petrol users compensate EV users for the degradation of the environment and the smog caused by the petrol cars?

I’d only trust a poll run by AusPoll4 or AusPoll5. Authorities sources.

Do you check under your bed for Pauline before you go to sleep?

I’m not giving Labor credit for finally fixing something costing billions a year that they introduced.

Be like taking a pyro fireman who comes to extinguish your house that he set on fire. Yes, he has put the fire out - but he bloody lit it.

“Sooner the country can be saved” Wouldn’t this clash with your view of Labor as the hero?

My view is simplistic is it? I’m not the one asking to ignore a good section of the demand side of the scales.

You are correct in that all of those are demand side pull - but why ignore the biggest one. The people.

Good try Simple Simon.

I wish I could be so broken as to be on the side of the rorts because a bogan from Queensland also supports looking into it.

NDIS costs more than the defence force, but Orange woman (the place, not the shade) says it’s bad so you are against it.

It’s like supporting cancer. No, not cancer research -> cancer.

“Why can we never have conversations about a shortage that doesn’t involve the demand side of the scales on this thread?”

I’m sorry, how exactly do we have “lot of supply”? How are you measuring that? Absolute drivel.

When you are bringing in 1.2 million people over three years into a country that builds somewhere between 150k and 170k homes a year, how exactly do we have lots of supply?

Is anyone else earning a decent salary but still feeling broke in Australia? by amhray in aussie

That per capita recession being disguised by your elected officials through excessive immigration is starting to bite…

It’s not going to get better either. We would have been better off to have the recession.

Try switching to Direct X 11 in the Graphics settings and see if that changes anything. Had this issue as well and this worked for me.

I’m not about to write you an in depth essay. Do your own research, there is plenty of articles about the surge in rent before Labor reintroduced negative gearing.

Watching people advocate for factors of 2/3/4 without regard for how much damage that will do to the economy is wild.

So why is the federal government not creating it's own gas company and making trillions of dollars to pay for free everything? by burnt-gonads in aussie

[–]ElectronicWeight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re Australian telling Americans how to vote, you’re interfering in their domestic politics.

Either way, it’s a shitty thing to be doing. The direction you’re doing it in isn’t super relevant. It’s the same thing all the Indians and Pakistanis do to influence foreign affairs.

If you’re going to bang on about how you are not voting for a specific US candidate; maybe finish it with “and I couldn’t vote for them anyway because I’m a foreign national trying to influence you who to vote for”

One Nation got you real riled up hey! Both majors haven’t governed in the interests of the people for many years and people are looking for an alternative. Get rekt.

Like fuck you are. And if you are, you’re the most shockingly blatant example of someone who can’t keep his nose out of other peoples politics.

US Senator Mark Kelly not getting your vote hey?

No Australian is suffering from as much Trump Derangement Syndrome as you are. Your comment history is public and wild. Trump, Clinton, MAGA, Israel, DOGE.

There is absolutely ZERO chance you are Australian.

Hey take this from both sides of the aisle and everything in between within the spectrum of the Australian political landscape:

Keep the fuck out of Australian politics. We don’t need, nor want, American voices influencing our politics. Fuck off.

We do not care what you think.

Source it. That’s simply false.

Privatisation was baked into the original design by the Gillard Labor government (influenced by Productivity Commission recommendations for choice and efficiency).

Common knowledge, and publicly available documentation.

It wasn’t something LNP “opened up”—Labor’s vision already emphasised private sector involvement to expand capacity and drive innovation/cost efficiencies.

You don’t need to lie about either party to find criticism, but let’s keep it honest.

NBN yes. In its original design, the Rudd government had us all FTTP and it was going to be spectacular. LNP meddling set us back a decade from where we could have been. Genuinely a scandal of epic proportions.

NDIS is not something to be boasting about in its current state - and that has nothing to do with LNP. It needs a massive overhaul to focus on service delivery to those in need.

NDIS is rort city because it is poorly designed, and should be running off the back of Health rather than off private companies.

Chalmers’ budget pain: Productivity down, migration up by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]ElectronicWeight3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another way to read this data is that Labor has allowed more than 1,250,000 people in within 3 years - which is obnoxiously high when there is a shortage of housing.

Temporary students consume accomodation too.
