Jim Chalmers destroyed Tim Wilson in Parliament over Capital Gains Tax—cited Wilson's own book against him on intergenerational inequality. Labor supporters celebrating the takedown as budget vindication. 🧵2/3

Katy Gallagher takes Libs’ interjection complaining on Housing “bcoz it’s important to let everyone know” that the LNP “didn’t even have a Housing Policy, didn’t have a Housing Minister.” And that a big part of today’s problems are bcoz the LNP “did nothing”🔥 Sad fact. #auspol

Jim Chalmers shreds Tim Wilson following his anti-migrant questioning, warning that when he “blows on the dog whistle they can hear it in Goldstein too." And when he said he was “prepared to be in a govt with One Nation they heard it in Goldstein.”💣💥🔥 #auspol

So... we're coughing up millions for something the government have fears will never eventuate. #AUKUS #Budget2026 #auspol #opinion www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“This budget, the government has chosen not to care about a lot of things – jobseeker, for example, remains 42% below the poverty line ($291 a week below the line if you want to get really specific).” #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

One Nation now represents two of Australia’s biggest renewable energy regions – despite campaigning against wind, solar and net zero policies, Rachel Williamson writes. #auspol #energy #renewables

With this pointed critique of the #Budget2026 tax reforms in mind, Croakey Director @AlisonVerhoeven provides an overview of what the Federal Government hopes its strategy will deliver. #AusPol

Pissing off Mark Fkg Bourarse is all the confirmation I need that Labor nailed #Budget2026. 👏 #AusPol

#Auspol Credit to the Independents in Federal seats who regularly push for changes that helps the working class and young. They are in mostly wealthy electorates yet have been pushing for changes to Negative Gearing for years. As have the Greens

David Rowe, from January 2024. Still works. #auspol

So it can be done with the right people in office. Opinion to the contrary is merely capitalist propaganda #auspol

Opinion | One thing the interim report makes clear is this process does not justify a royal commission, @marquelawyers.com.au writes. www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/30/a...

God yes do it, it's only fitting that Tony is the guy in charge when the receivers turn up to repossess the furniture.

What the Liberal Party should do now is continue sending Jane Hume out to do the interviews because that's worked extremely well for the past five years.

Commissioner Bell challenges Frydenberg-led Dor Foundation CEO Tahli Blicblau on credibility of their research questioning if they ignore fact that spikes in antisemitism coincide with Israel’s wars, calls out Dor’s surveys that use “Zionism” as “proxy for being a Jew”💥 #auspol

#Auspol had to share this, it’s so on point. Why their supporters can’t see this baffles me. Must be the promise to hurt other people their supporters hate that drives them. Regardless One Nuron supporters are dead ☠️ to me for that reason alone.

We all know that when news reports claim "Many are unhappy with the CGT changes", they mean "those who use the CGT discount to reduce their tax liability" are pissy. Same investors will probably pay their accountant a fortune to work out how to get the $250 for salaried employees 🤦‍♀️ #auspol

Our Budget makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations. We're responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities.

This would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. As I’ve said many times before, Murdoch media is producing propaganda, not journalism. The country’s biggest “news” organisation is a publicity platform for the right wing of politics. It’s power being used to accumulate power on behalf of the rich. Gross

It has been a long while since The Australian represented the views of Australians! Johannes Leak also displaying why he would not get a job anywhere else, crude and unfunny. #auspol #Murdoch

Says the leader of the party that permanently locked an entire generation out of the housing market, increased HECS debt to lifelong financial burdens and ideologically sabotages climate action for future generations to come Think it’s pretty clear who the “fraud” here is

Jane Hume was feeling the heat, insisting she & Angus Taylor haven’t had time, denying she’s blaming Ley, and saying Libs now need to “reflect” Ferguson “You’ve already had a bit of time.” “I’d like to some more clear reflection from you, not just the notion of reflection.”🔥

Jane Hume’s refusal to rule out a One Nation alliance has to be the loudest ‘Yes’ in Aus politics right now as she is shredded & cornered into an admission of deceit. Hume “That’s not a question we’re prepared to answer”🙄💥 This is why they’re dying. #auspol

Because @amyremeikis.bsky.social is without peer, the PointLive is already up and running live.thepoint.com.au

On the proposed changes to housing tax concessions; Tim says “we won’t be supporting those measures”. So adding his signature to the Liberal party’s suicide note. #Budget2026 #abc730 #auspol

Toxic, the perfect word to describe Donald Trump. #auspol

Jim Chalmers not having any of Sky host Peter Stefanovic’s agenda-driven intro on his budget this morning. “You didn’t mention that the budget actually saves more than it spends, it’s got a big net improvement..we’ve got the debt down.”💥 #auspol

CGT and negative gearing benefit the 1% and this chart shows it

"Anything touching CGT, trusts, or negative gearing-adjacent territory becomes a holy war in Australia. The government says new builds keep more favourable treatment, but the broader fight will still be sold as an attack on aspiration by every vested interest with a microphone." #auspol #budget

The Australian literally found a guy with a Porsche and a property portfolio to be the voice of the 'victims' of the budget

And now for some good news 😂 ...

Maybe the wealthy Senator auntie could have helped get the child out of the camp? Thats what decent families do, they help. #auspol

The idea that the Libs can replace the Nats with One Nation in the Coalition and swan back into government as the senior partner, without changing policies, is extremely delusional on so many levels. #auspol

#auspol MSM journalism - force leaders to absolutely rule in/out necessary reform that every economist recommends before an election. Afterwards sweat on the ‘bRoKEn pRoMiSe’ lines. Our ABC chief among them. We wonder why meaningful reforms get kicked down the road for decades. #RNBreakfast

Breaking - right wing conservative party wins traditionally right wing conservative seat in regional NSW #auspol Right wing msm calling it a new chapter

“This wasn’t a by-election, it was a bloodbath for the Coalition”🔥 Jim Chalmers with a brutal reality check for the LNP, says now that they’re hostages to the far-right, their only hope is to merge with the fringe “There is no future Coalition…without One Nation in it. #auspol

When #Liberals #Natrionals announced that they would direct their preferences to One Nation in #Farrer Election they were seen by all to have publicly passed the baton to them as new leaders of #Conservatives. It was an act of crude stupidity.

🍊🛢️➡️🌬️☀️ Trump spent years sneering that clean energy was a “con job.” Then his Iran war made fossil-fuel dependence look like the real scam. Nothing says “stable genius” like accidentally turbocharging the industry you hate. #GreenEnergy #EnergySecurity #Climate ➷ www.rawstory.com/trump-green-...

Tim Wilson denies CGT discounts are tax breaks & quickly pivots to promoting his new data-harvesting site - asking ppl to sign up to fight a ‘tax raid’ on a benefit he won't admit exists. Franking Credits playbook is back. Same salesman, same grift, diff tax break🙄 #auspol

“In inner-city areas such as Southbank, entire apartment towers have been described as ‘ghost towers’. For instance, at 18 Moray Street, a 38-level building containing more than 100 furnished apartments has remained entirely vacant for years.” Radical change is needed, now. #auspol #politas

Let’s put the #Farrer vote into perspective FFS. The last idiot they voted in was Sussssan ….. #auspol

😂

Breaking: Tim Wilson open to Libs joining One Nation, after One Nation wipes them out in Farrer. I put it to you that this has long been the plan. #insiders

Every election, the Liberals do badly and they earnestly say they need to change - and then they double-down and offer more of the same. Consumers are not buying their product. If they were a business, they'd close their doors. #auspol

😂

Sky News Aus had a winge about Australia's Night Parrot last month. It's a great laugh to watch these 3 idiots trying to talk about something they have no idea on. This little bird managed to evade humans for 100 years. www.skynews.com.au/opinion/rare...
