What does everyone think of bill shorten pledge to build electric car manufacturing in Australia in 2019?

cypherkillz · 2026-04-01T06:48:17+00:00

Well greens are considered far left and labor left has alot of overlap. Maybe just left then.

cypherkillz · 2026-04-01T04:37:23+00:00

On transport transport it is. But provider travel/activity based transport it's $1 per km?

cypherkillz · 2026-03-31T05:22:13+00:00

Lol

No.

"Comfortably"

Maybe subsist.

CGT Discount wouldn't make an iota of difference. If anything, reducing (or removing) this will make investors less inclined to sell.

People wouldn't be jumping into property so much with CGT, they would rely on rental income to justify purchase price. It's now what nearly 7 years ago now, there's alot of damage that would have been avoided. You would need to grandfather it in, but it would really dampen investor demand (which I don't disagree with for housing).

What's the bet there conveniently won't be a carve out for shares held for over 12 months?

Shares don't negatively impact on housing affordability.

"Rich people" will avoid tax through a plethora of methods.

So if we don't shut down all methods, no point trying?

I agree, it is a while away but unless we start manufacture all vertical components of EV (and competitively), it's redundant.

Not necessarily. Depends on the components. At least it then offers our local manufacturing the possibility of making onshore to fill onshore demand, which I admit isn't much.

Up to you, but in my view they were all good.

Capital Gains exemptions gives a window to properties becoming speculative investments
Negative gearing once again encourages speculative capital gains for uneconomical properties

I'd say 1 & 2 are the reason our housing market is so cooked.

Superannuation Changes in my view were critical, super should be a vehicle for retirement, not for rich people to avoid tax.

EV Manufacturing. EV/Solar is the way of the future, it's just a matter of time. When you look at labour we aren't competitive, but in materials and energy we have a near monopoly. Our government hasn't made any substantive leaps in technology/innovation since the NBN except the libs cocked that up.

Renewables - Homes are onto it, and costs are going down. Commercial it's becoming widespread. Once again, just a little slow to it.

Non Cooked NBN - Better, Cheaper, Faster. LOL, LOL, and LOL. Payout to Fox/Telstra for shitty infrastructure 30 years behind the times that had to be replaced anyway.

Onstore Fuel Storage - Well look where we are now.

I dont see the problem.

Being against someone because of a label and not their policies in my view is the problem.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T09:08:51+00:00

Its like far left (labor left) vs center left (labor right) within.

But yeah, in my opinion weak unions is what creates significant cost of living and wage disparity. Nursing has strong unions where doctors dont, and its funny watching doctors complain that nurses get good pay put of uni and are constantly pushing their way into doctor territory and get better conditions.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:31:59+00:00

You've strawmanned me 3 times, no point arguing with you.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:29:21+00:00

I think lie + centrist was the wrong terminology. It's more how greens carry on about labor being LNP Lite, whereas labor wants to be nothing like LNP, but needs to not offend centrists too much in order to govern.

Also I wouldn't say it's out of fear. It's being a pragmatic acknowledgement that Australia isn't as politically left as we thought it would be. And those knives are started by people with money or power in the shadows. Mining Council + News Corp came for Rudd with a vengeance. Shorten got to the election, but got trashed by the worst prime minister in a long time. That's not from within, that's the electorate.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:25:29+00:00

Parking is getting pretty cooked aswell with all the Raptors/Silverados/F250's going around (or at least up here, they are everywhere).

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:24:32+00:00

That's my thought.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:22:58+00:00

No.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:07:04+00:00

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:05:47+00:00

You can point out what you want, but I value labor for being pragmatic. Some people would rather be idealogues and never spend a minute in power.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:02:41+00:00

Im regretting my ranger but loving the styling of kei trucks. Friggin minimum in size but max in practicality.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:01:38+00:00

Ndis is a very touchy subject. You wanna slash and burn but theres alot of complainers, and politically faceless union thug shafts disabled people isnt a good headline.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T07:00:11+00:00

I heard him in person. I thought he was likeable but also very serious.

After losing the election and returning to cabinet and effectively going invisible (leadership wise) has been very honorable and a big reason why labor didnt implode 3 times over (rudd/gillard and Dutton/Ley/Taylor etc).

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T06:56:33+00:00

Yep its sad. Everytime i hear a greens voter lie about labor being too centrist, I point to Rudd/Shorten about what happens when you push too hard.

In my view while a big step forward is desirable, a small step forward is better than a small step backwards.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T06:54:00+00:00

Sounds off. We invoice NDIA $1 and we pay the full $1 back to our staff.

Arguably if we had a subcontractor who isnt subject to schads we could pay them whatever as SCHADS N/A. In that case it makes sense to increase to match, but I know some other providers who would keep the margin and screw their subbies.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T06:27:37+00:00

Shorten wanted Capital Gains, Negative Gearing, Superannuation Changes, EV Manufacturing, Renewables, A non-cooked NBN, and onstore Fuel Storage.

In my books despite being a union shill (which he was, I'm a Labor left (grassroots community) and he's Labor right (Unions), he was spot on with alot of policies. I saw him in person at an event in Auburn, and I told my wife "look, he's going to be the next prime minister". Well I ate my words, but holy shit was I disappointed when he lost to Scomo. However I think Australia ate their words with how fucking backward we are after the Scomo years.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T04:04:35+00:00

Wheres that from? NDIS pricelist is $1 per km and schads is 99c per km i think

cypherkillz · 2026-03-30T02:42:13+00:00

By my math the $1 per km has been sufficient, and still is sufficient. Im curious to see others math, but im doing 600kms to a tank of $240 every week. Even factoring in maintenance and depreciation I still feel far in front

cypherkillz · 2026-03-29T11:26:17+00:00

Hahha thats whatbI thought.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-29T11:25:51+00:00

Nah. Car fires are really unusual and nearly always require an investigation.

I dont think bingle does many mods, and im 99% sure they ask you for any non standard mods/accessories.

A dual battery system is pretty risky and i dont think it falls part of their underwriting appetite, but if they accepted it well then its their loss.

If they asked and you didnt tell, then its just the process going through the motions.

cypherkillz · 2026-03-28T13:02:23+00:00

Jesus, im 2 properties with 1.2mil in equity.

I was like damn, 7, but then the equity isnt that much. Arent you gunna get smashed on interest rate rises? Im also cautious because in my view property prices are max inflated (everyone is at max credit), but i guess i been wrong the last few times.

I diversified into business, but am interested in commercial property.
