"The Labor machine is nefarious but it isnt stupid - they know trying to pass a massive bill through an ultra-compressed schedule is doomed to fail. So whats the strategy Labor is on the nose - immigration remains high inflation remains persistent productivity remains stagnant and they dont have an economic plan. Greens are obstructionist - rejection of policy that had support in the polls before it was drafted enables Labor to frame them as rigid and impractical. Teals are ineffective - similarly to the Greens theyll be able to frame them as virtue signallers who get in the way of moderate"

"I learned yesterday that the Liberal Party Constitution is almost double the number of pages as the Constitution of Australia. Ive also heard dozens of stories from those with experience dealing with the party structure - from young people trying to join met with hostility to former members who left jaded. Add this to their lack of talent vision policy and political performance - and I cant honestly draw any other conclusion than the party is fundamentally rotten. It saddens me to say this because whilst I have no loyalty to the Liberals its disastrous for this country to be dominated by one"

"Labor leading young people into homes with 95% mortgages with the promise of interest rates coming down only to see them remain where they are or potentially go higher is utter betrayal. This was their solution for desperate first homebuyers watching prices run away from their buying power and its turning out to be a poison chalice as many of us expected it would. This is way worse than the RBA making a forecast of low interest rates during covid and because these 5% deposit mortgages are underwritten by the government the losses will be socialised by every taxpayer"

"Its an oversimplification to say inflation is caused by government spending. But inflation is almost entirely within the governments control - excluding some global impacts at discrete points in time (which can also be mitigated with long term planning and good decisions in the moment). As a whole public spending should be judged by if its boosting productivity and increasing supply capacity to meet demand or hindering it and therefore creating an imbalance that drives up prices. And if the system cant cope with existing demand then non-targeted immigration and government interventions"

"Sometimes I wish Australia wasn't so rich in natural resources. Governments wouldn't lock us into long-term spending off the back of short-term commodity booms. Tax debate would focus on how to boost productivity rather than fixating on taxing resources more. We wouldn't have been able to afford to inflate the property market through demand-side stimulus. We would've had to figure out how to actually compete for talent and business. We've had it so easy for so long that our malaise over decades is crashing down hard and we didn't build a resilient culture to deal with our challenges"

"Concessions are reductions in taxes that apply - if there's no tax there's no concession against a tax. But that's a philosophical. Practically the CGTD is meant to compensate for inflation and it should just be pegged to CPI - and we can debate whether the CGT value is right (remember this applies to all assets not just residential property). Agree on banning overseas resi investment capping international students and stripping councils of planning. Abolishing negative gearing would inevitably lead to less rentals and higher rents because that's effectively subsidising them at the moment."

"Science is science - it's the pursuit of truth not what's issued as decree.

It's virtuous for wanting to curtail an irrational rejection of science but that'll never happen without acknowledgement from the individuals and institutions who trashed it.

We can prioritise our own national unity lest we devolve into the Middle East ourselves. https://x.com/markomatvikov/status/2021030712644935870s=46 I maintain this position - theres no good coming from the Israeli Presidents visit to Australia. Our leaders should simply enforce our laws without fear or favour against anybody inciting or engaging in violence. https://t.co/Ji6LZi9xv8 https://x.com/markomatvikov/status/2021030712644935870s=46 I maintain this position - theres no good coming from"

"I don't think that's quite right. That works if you don't want to prosecute an alternative vision and just want to do the same but a little better - where you're cynically nullifying potential attacks but not actually competing for direction. It can be a winning strategy but many of us don't want to win for the sake of winning. The problem is we've neither had an opposition effective enough to do this simple thing well for micro improvements nor one that goes big on vision. The former is easier so you're right that this is an effective strategy - but they've had so long to do this that too"

"It has go mate. It'd cost over $200bn and doesn't have a funding pathway - was dreamed up on the basis the state would fund 1/3 the fed 1/3 and the other 1/3 through 'value capture'. The latter means rezoning land around the stations to inflate values to then tax - but that won't work because it assumes there's demand and capacity to sell thousands of [--] bed apartments for over $1.5m. It literally doesn't work and we're awarding billions of dollars of works packages to press ahead so the government can say it's too late to stop without any regard for what happens next. Most people don't"

"Crucial words from the RBA Governor: The economy is closer to its supply capacity than we previously thought. Which means supply constraints are binding in some sectors and its not taken much of a pick-up in demand to generate price pressures. Years of weak-to-no productivity growth is a big part of that story"
