I agree but the scars of the "no carbon tax under a Government I lead" still run deep for the ALP, and methinks the spectre of bRoKeN eLeCtIoN pRoMiSe has them properly spooked (not sure of what though, not like Dutton's ever going to beat them).
Excuse me, I was looking only at the investment options. My bad.
Don't underestimate the right wingers who feel no affinity to facts and have the entire media landscape running their lines and a cowed ABC. And a much much better understanding of the public than Labour who seem to keep trying to think the best of people..
Cool so 5-8 were negative beering, 9 actually owned the pub and several more in that city, and 10 owned the brewing company. All had complicated family trust structures.
Based on what? Twitter posts? Comments section of the Herald Sun? Albo getting booed at the tennis? There is no path back for the Coalition that doesn't involve them trying even slightly to appease the middle ground and appeal to all those teal seats they've lost. In Dutton they have just about the worst candidate to do this imaginable - and like the Conservatives in the UK and the Republicans in the US his party is only interested in stoking stupid culture war smokescreens rather than even pretending to offer a viable alternative and improve people's lives.
I think for most people, the additional money from the reduced tax will go on the mortgage, fortnightly budget- food/ utilities/ other expenses. This isn't the baby bonus, not one is going to run off and buy a new TV because of it....
Based on the referendum.

Never rely on people when there's nothing in it for them. Labor have wedged LNP hard enough that there's no way out without agreeing with the new cuts, going even further than Labor, or taking away from low and middle income earners and giving it back to higher earners.
yet they arent that far behind in the polls which suggests if they can come up with a single good hit on labor the election could be very close. The tax changes are popular so that wont be it, breaking a promise to do so could well be a factor. we still get replays of keating's L A W tax cuts as proof you cant trust any of them.
I don't agree with Jacqui on many things but she generally shoots straight and nailed this one.
Where political parties spend tens of millions of dollars on political strategy (marketing, advertising, staffing etc), this is putting it lightly.
He just oozed disingenuous slime…
Just maybe the Libs recognise just how big a stinking pile of slime Dutton is, and they put him in as leader as a way of getting rid of him - a sacrificial lamb basically. When they get their arse kicked again at the next election, they'll have reason to throw him into oblivion where he belongs, and appoint someone much more moderate.
Not sure they’re that bright…
