One of the most perverse aspects of capital gains concessions and negative gearing is it makes residential property a very attractive safe haven during instability and recessions, such as now ... delivering *more* expensive housing during downturns, along with the ever expanding bubble.
It's just so fucked up. Labor are cowards for failing to address it (although they did have a go in 2019) and the Coalition are just bastards 'cause it's exactly what they want.

Grandfathering negative gearing, ditching AUKUS, dental in Medicare - damn.
Seriously considering putting Greens first pref, especially in context of a hung parliament.

What the geniuses in the Whitehouse did not seem to factor in is that making enemies of your closest allies exposes you.
As long as you can keep them in line, good and dandy. But if you can't ... (looking at you, Canada) all your closely guarded bullshit suddenly goes into the wild.
Tactically and strategically, one of the stupidest moves made by any declining empire ever. But from this Whitehouse, would expect nothing less.

All that surveillance state apparatus we developed and enacted. All the rules and tools and fancy new agencies populated with dynamo kids on the spectrum.
We have a new target.

US Big Tech attacking Australian sovereignty via Trump Whitehouse.
Need to be told to get fucked in the strongest terms or we're effectively a province of the US Empire and it will never end.

'@mosseri just announced that #Threads users can finally follow fediverse accounts. Which means you can now reach 200M people from your Mastodon account without ever using Threads yourself. True decentralization happens on the fediverse!'
In my mind. Fuck head.
Dark Tingo
Do we have to go there? The months where you teamed up with the Meta fucker to promote Threads on the Fediverse.
Did you forget about that? This is embarrassing.
Dark Tingo
You know what you did question mark.
Dark Tingo
And I fucking hate being reminded of that shit, to the point of blanking it.
Dark Tingo
And then I did a deal with Meta and raved at everyone on the Fediverse for months about how cool it would be to federate with Threads
It would be awesome, I said

Australia's Prime Minister has had a single phone call with Trump, while its ambassador to the US, a former Prime Minister, is on the record calling the US leader a 'traitor', 'destructive' and 'village idiot'.
Australia is pushing on with backing Ukraine, offering up continued financial support and peacekeepers should a ceasefire eventuate, but has so far done nothing in response to tariffs.
The Australian people are pissed and embarking on their own boycotts, particularly incensed by the United State's treatment of Canada for who they hold great sympathy and friendship and in which they see a blueprint for their own treatment. Something's brewing and the status quo will not hold. When the 'relationship' breaks, it's going to break hard.

Meta so scared of former New Zealand diplomat's tell-all they're trying to have it banned.
And the name of that books is: Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism, by Sarah Wynn-Williams.
It would be unfortunate if anyone heard of or read it. For Meta.

Gratuitous plug for GOG. European. DRM free. Tons of great titles. These folk are the shit.
Ooo Kingdom Come: Deliverance on sale. Czech developer. Austrian publisher. Polish distributor. Don't mind if I do.

Smashing it through Cyberpunk 2077. So good with all the fixes, upgrades and DLC.
And as a good Polish game sourced from the GOG platform. No boycotts breached. 😊

Abducting protestors, labelling vandals 'terrorists,' United States embarks on dictatorship speedrun.

Unverified, but after checking a product and finding it's 'Made in USA', Canadians are reportedly returning it to the shelf upside to alert other shoppers. :awesome:
Let's make this a thing, Australia.

Target rich environment: Australian MAGA displays zero-self awareness while revelling in the excess won from stealing the nation's natural resource wealth.

Like the plot of a Tarrantino film. All it needs is long, swear laden bursts of dialogue.

'Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service ... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor,' - Senator Claude Malhuret, Fracais
