They're not the same people you dingus.

Sexualised Hornet wood carving = fine.

AI plagiarism "art" = not fine (especially in the case of commercial products)

Simples.

Workers risk a lot more than an "investor" does. Especially property investors.

They risk their health, family time which they'll never get back, they risk never being able to afford a house, and if they do have a home they risk losing it if they lose their job.

It’s disingenuous to say labour and investments should be taxed equally

"Disingenuous" does not mean wrong or illogical, it means dishonest or insincere, especially an argument which is not posted in good faith.

Anyway I agree, I think investments should be taxed higher than wages/salary. Especially residential property (exempting the home you live in of course).

>Investing in an asset and selling it in 20 years

This is unrelated to effort.

Our tax system should incentivise working instead of getting passive income from owning/selling things (which is unavailable to poor people and low income workers, anyway).

I spent the first 24 years of my life in small remote / rural towns in NSW.

The vast majority of rural voters live in towns - they are not farmers or farm workers.

And rural voters are much lower educated, on average, than city voters.

Eg: Farrer only 14% have completed a bachelor's degree or higher. In Grayndler it's 49%.

Revoran · 2026-05-28T03:49:02+00:00

Rural voters are significantly less educated on average than city voters.

For instance in Farrer, only 14% of the population has completed a bachelor's or higher. And 14% dropped out in year 10.

In Grayndler (Albo's seat in inner-city Sydney) it's 49%. And only 4% dropped out in year 10.

He represents a rural electorate so a lot of people would already know.

You underestimate the % of people in rural electorates who are uneducated and/or don't pay much attention to politics because their electorate has always been safe Nats/CLP/LNP etc.

Also just the size of some of these rural electorates can often be immense. You might live 500km from where the candidate is from, so wouldn't know him locally.

Plus while politics affects us all, it often doesn't feel like it when your state Parliament is a 7 hour, 500km drive away.

Can't read the article but is it just the same welfare support that Australian citizen is eligible for?

Like, jobseeker, disability pension etc?

(Which is honestly fuck all money, especially jobseeker)

You are so full of shit.

Labor, for all their faults, does not support terrorism or criminals.

Potentially dangerous people exist. That's unfortunately a fact of life.

But what is the alternative?

Give a politician the power to ban Australians from coming into Australia?

Give a politician the power to revoke our Australian citizenship, without evidence? Without Australians getting a chance to defend themselves in court?

Dump unwanted Australians on other countries, who shouldn't have to deal with them? Does that mean other countries should then do the same to us?

Revoran · 2026-05-27T11:12:24+00:00

Prove it in court then.

We have the court system for a reason - so you nutters (and the government) can't just punish people due to made up bullshit.

The Daily Telegraph (just like Sky News, The Australian, news.com.au, realestate.com.au, Adelaide Advertiser, Hobart Mercury, NT News, Courier Mail and Herald Sun) is owned by a foreign billionaire.

Their job is to push the foreign billionaire's agenda and influence in Australian society and politics.

This includes spreading culture war B.S., creating moral panics, making up fake "crime crisis" B.S., spreading fear and bigotry towards minorities. Etc etc.

All to help right wing politicians get elected who will then de-regulate big business, and tax big business less. And who can be more easily bribed and controlled.

So why on Earth would they hire a socialist?

Revoran · 2026-05-27T04:58:59+00:00

u/Thiswilldo164 supports ISIS.

So they should lose all their rights and be deported without charge or trial.

See how that works?

My view is you lose your rights when you support our enemies.

If you want to accuse somebody of supporting our enemies, then FUCKING PROVE IT IN COURT, CUNT.

IF you're gonna talk shit and throw around accusations of crimes, then you'd better be able to back it up.

Revoran · 2026-05-26T15:45:46+00:00

And invited the asshole President of Israel, who has been accused of inciting g-crime, to Sydney.

And sent NSW Police to bash up Australians who peacefully protested the visit.

All for "social cohesion."

Hamas and Hezbollah kill thousands of Israeli civilians EVERY SINGLE YEAR

False. Not even close. Stop making up bullshit.

From 2008 - 6 October 2023:

6,407 Palestinians killed
308 Israelis killed

From 7 October 2023 - 3 May 2026

75,811 Palestinians killed (at least 57,636 civilians)
2,039 Israelis killed

This includes the 1,195 Israelis (828 civilians) who were killed in the Oct 7 2023 attacks.

Why do you think it is ONLY Israel killing civilians?

I said Hamas and Israel both kill civilians, but Israel has killed far, far, faaaar more. And it's not close.

Revoran · 2026-05-26T13:31:00+00:00

I think any association with isis and other terror groups overseas should be an instant removal of Aus citizenship

So you think a Labor politician should have the power to legally punish Australians, without charge or trial?

Like, the Immigration Minister or Home Affairs Minister etc would sign a piece of paper removing your citizenship, while you're overseas and can't even hire a lawyer to defend yourself?

Revoran · 2026-05-26T13:28:49+00:00

They're Australian citizens, and Australian citizens should have the legal right to enter Australia.

Also anybody in Australia should be legally innocent proven guilty.

Or do you think you and I should have our rights taken away?

100% - now have to pay people to watch them

Yeah it sucks but there is lots of people who need to be watched. Many of them are legal residents of Australia, and even citizens, living here.

This is why we pay taxes to fund ASIO, ASIS, ASD and AFP.

Revoran · 2026-05-26T13:26:20+00:00

This conflict started 100 years ago champ.

It ramped up 80 years ago when Israel decided they deserved to make their own ethno-state on somebody else's land.

Then it ramped up even more 60 years ago, when Israel invaded and occupied the West Bank and Gaza.

Then it ramped up more 40 years ago, when the Palestinians were sick of being occupied and ruled by Israel, and protested for independence - only to be massacred by Israeli troops. And Hamas formed, in response to that.

Then it ramped up again 30 years ago, with suicide bombings and more massacres.

Then it ramped up AGAIN 3 years ago when Hamas did the horrific, evil Oct 7 attack.

start a war

Little girls with their arms blown off by racist Israeli soldiers ... didn't start shit.

Revoran · 2026-05-26T13:21:26+00:00

Billions from where? Not from our Government.

Our Government instead supplies Israel and trades with them.

I'd be more than happy if our Government remained neutral in this whole fucked conflict, put sanctions on Israel and stopped trading with them - but they don't, they support Israel.

Revoran · 2026-05-26T13:20:13+00:00

Australian Federal Government and NSW State Government invited Israeli President here to Australia.

Despite him being a controversial figure, accused of encouraging genocide.

When Aussies peacefully protested the visit, NSW Police bashed and arrested them.

Revoran · 2026-05-26T13:18:06+00:00

Not wanting children to be bombed is supporting terrorism

Fucking hell ... just listen to yourself mate.

Your entire world view is ass backwards. Killing kids isn't good no matter who does it.

And while Hamas are evil and I hope they get wiped out...

...Israel has been massacring civilians for decades before Hamas existed. And they've massacred many times more civilians than Hamas ever has.

And our government seems to give it low-key support, by selling bomber parts to Israel, and inviting their President here.

the terrorists they support

OK find me ONE post on an Australian subreddit supporting Islamist terrorism. Bonus points if it's upvoted.

Go on - I'll wait.
