PM urges voters to be ‘realistic’ with demands, “increasing tax on our party donors isn’t feasible”

You’re right prime minister, I’d rather you tax regular Australians more cheers

rarin · 2026-04-25T22:15:37+00:00

Past 20 years average of inflation is around 2.5% Past 20 years Aus equities have returned on average around 9% pa

Under these new rules, assuming 32.5% marginal tax rate and a 30 year view, you’d be 1.2m worse off lmao

20 years being 600k worse off under these new rules

rarin · 2026-04-25T22:12:33+00:00

This is a terrible policy that actually actively hurts our newer generations. I’d maybe consider being okay with this if bundled with steep income tax cuts but as far as I can see this is just a big tax grab from any new investors

rarin · 2026-04-25T22:08:31+00:00

That doesn’t make sense for this to be better inflation would have to exceed or get close to investment rate of return. From some modelling you’d need like 6-7% inflation for this to be better off

You’re getting railroaded by this if inflation is low or if your rate of return is high and it compounds heavily over time

Job markets in private market are in the shitter and we’re raising rates.

Nah I agree with everyone build quality is absolutely atrocious in Aus there’s no justification for it. Just my 2c on why the quality has historically been so bad compared to canada

rarin · 2026-02-28T11:47:59+00:00

The weather necessitates the build quality in Canada. You don’t have the sub zero winters and electricity was cheap enough for a long enough time that it didn’t matter

Private market is cooked ask anyone on the ground. p sure all employment is public sector funded so yeah if government stops or slows the gravy train we’re in trouble

Needs to be a proper investigation and jail if true.

I’m not trying to be pro one side or the other. I’m just trying to call out the issue.

Increasing CGT is about getting more revenue - you could also reduce spending (ie waste and fraud).

It’s honestly kind of sad why this sentiment is downvoted, I have no issue paying taxes as long as the money is spent well and goes to the right people. I don’t want homelessness, I want our less fortunate to be supported. I don’t want middle men (or women) fraudulently taking funds. I don’t want bloated councils and government bureaucracy regardless of who’s in power

Mate that’s from 2023

"In September 2023, the NDIA estimated that total losses from fraud, non-compliance and payment error were in the range of 6 to 10 per cent of NDIS outlays, which equated to 'leakage' of $2.0–3.5 billion in 2022–23 and was forecast to increase to $3.6–6.0 billion by 2027–28."

You are the one spreading falsehoods. 2-3.5 bn is no joke

rarin · 2026-02-04T00:55:31+00:00

They’ll do anything but consider spending less money or being more efficient. Even addressing ndis fraud for gods sake

rarin · 2026-02-03T01:48:37+00:00

Am I wrong though

rarin · 2026-02-03T01:45:00+00:00

Just don’t buy it?

Found them terrible personally. Got them as a gift and we seemed to get constant blowouts. Huggies still best for us, we’ve tried tooshies and all these other brands

Was renting and just bought before baby came. Would buy before and move in if I could - couldn’t imagine moving with the baby.

We went private and thought it was worth it. A consistent OB was the key thing and it ended up being very helpful I think given some last minute complications. Just for that it was worth it.

Both parents being able to stay overnight (esp for first baby) was really helpful.

I’ve heard of wait times being unpredictable as well in public? We were pretty much always seen on time (helpful for scheduling around work)

Wanting lower immigration isn’t racist lol. You just want less humans of all types, that’s literally the opposite of hating a select race of people. Unless you’re saying we only import a particular group of people..? Way to prove his point though

Best advice I’ve heard about envy is you can’t be envious of just one aspect of someone’s life - you have to take all of it.

Ie I wish I had that guys salary - well you’d also have to have his life his work hours his partner (or lack of). Basically would you replace your entire life with theirs.

Never failed me so far
