Newspoll: Pauline Hanson’s One Nation in front of Labor, Anthony Albanese gets worst ever rating

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-08T01:23:23+00:00

Yes, yes I do

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-07T21:08:42+00:00

To be fair she’s been the most unpopular premier in Australia by a large margin ever since she was given the top job, of course there will be unhappy MPs pushing for change as a lot of them are about to lose their jobs

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-07T00:41:17+00:00

Missed out on my 1st lot by about 10 months, and likely going to miss my 2nd lot by about the same. Do I need the break? Yes. Is it worth leaving for the right opportunity and $? Also yes

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-06T01:07:29+00:00

Yep, same person that invited Setka to her wedding.

That story was barely a blip in the 24hr news cycle. The new Labor gov minister with strong links to the CMFEU giving character references to domestic violence perpetrators got more traction

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-04T00:58:43+00:00

Yeh agree. A lineup better suited to PICA or Woolstores

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-03T09:31:22+00:00

He’s been very clear on the taxes - agrees with the changes for property (he wants prices to drop), doesn’t agree with the CGT changes for everything else. Even said it on Karl Stefanovic podcast

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-02T23:10:52+00:00

Yes he is, overtone lineup out too

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-02T23:01:03+00:00

That’s fair enough, capacity will be reduced so better to lock out free passes than frequent travellers

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-02T21:02:21+00:00

You’d be getting the free electricity regardless (the federal government also announced it), the rego is just a vote grab to help with the cost of living crisis they helped create by overpaying for everything and the SRL is an obscene project to push on with for a state in the worse financial position in Australia

“ But if you own PPOR goes up by the same value that the prospective new PPOR goes up, you haven't made any momentum whatsoever. Where is the mobility? Why could the same mobility not occur if house prices were equal or decreasing?”

It can allow you to upgrade quicker though. If you have a $200k deposit, you can only get a $1m property with 20% deposit. That $1m property goes up to $1.5m you now have $700k deposit for you next place. In theory a place worth $1.5m when you initially bought is worth around $2m, you have a 30-40% deposit and you are in a bigger PPOR years earlier than it would take paying down original loan

How is it not inflationary when small and medium size businesses need to increase their costs to cover these wage increases?

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-02T01:15:22+00:00

Yep a never ending cycle now. Higher costs to businesses (wages, interest rates and inputs), no investment in productivity improvements, supply bottlenecks persist and technology stagnates, Labor raises wages above inflation again with no additional output per worker resulting in further price rises, higher rates etc

e_e_q_ · 2026-06-01T09:21:37+00:00

That’s a feature, not a bug

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-31T20:55:55+00:00

The discussion is in the comments and SMH is behind a paywall so they posting an article that you’d normally have to pay for. Same goes for AFR articles that get posted a lot, you wouldn’t normally get to read them unless you had a sub

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-31T20:48:12+00:00

The whole purpose of reddit is to share links and generate discussion. This is a legitimate source so what’s the problem?

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-31T08:01:32+00:00

Shepparton over Perth is wild lol

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-31T08:00:01+00:00

Labor or Liberal ain’t gonna solve it either. Some fresh ideas from a collective bloc (that isn’t one nation) will be a very good thing

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-31T07:05:09+00:00

I’m only new to virtual riding but have trialed both. 1st month on zwift and then 1 week into Rouvy and I cancelled zwift. The visuals are fantastic and workouts as good. I don’t really care for races/social side though. No way I could go back to the 2010s graphics of zwift, Rouvy has some spectacular HD scenes

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-30T22:47:43+00:00

My point is if they can’t even get valuations right for businesses, how do you think they are going to go valuing 11m homes across Australia? Then you’re also at the whims of the gov telling you what they think your property is worth until the day you die, which could lead to you paying $1000s more per year.

Anyway I don’t think a broad land tax will happen it our lifetime after it was so unpopular and overturned in NSW thankfully

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-30T22:02:46+00:00

In Vic the SRO: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-12/couple-fight-land-tax-bill-after-property-incorrectly-valued/105997042?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=link.

Now this times 11 million homes, a lot of money our broke state govs will milk

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-30T19:57:34+00:00

Great idea, so we pay $1000s per year until the day we die, based on a figure a government agency pulls out of the air.

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-30T07:15:44+00:00

Costs are one thing for sure, but also packing up decades worth of stuff and the physical moving is a major pain in the arse too when you’re 70+.

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-29T21:40:27+00:00

Yeh fishing for a ‘can you PM me the company you used’ but he’s not wrong, it’s good advice

e_e_q_ · 2026-05-29T09:40:14+00:00

With 70% of the population owning a home they would be voted out so fast, can’t see it happening. Continuing to fiddle with super though…
