Join your union. A good news story for NSW TAFE teachers. These wage theft cases for Union members take months to resolve, but help to ensure other teachers don’t suffer the same loss of income. join.nswtf.org.au www.nswtf.org.au/news/2025/09...

Changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing are not the only things needed to solve Australia’s housing crisis, but they’re the cornerstones of any approach capable of arresting the raging home price growth that is making a bad problem rapidly worse. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21465/...

The first intergenerational report prepared by Treasury was published in 2002 – all the problems that are now WERE PREDICTED “intergenerational bastardry”. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This Wed 3rd Sept 2025 is our opportunity to recognise and celebrate the efforts of TAFE students, teachers, and support staff for their contributions to our local communities, workforce and economy

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians? If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023. Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?

The Israeli Ambassador to Australia should not still be here.

The curious case of the disappearing smoking data. The Roy Morgan release was unequivocal: smoking rates among young adults are up after vaping ban which had "demonstrably failed". And then it disappeared and was replaced with something more amenable. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

🧵 What Zohran says.

"I'm furious on behalf of my colleagues. I'm furious about the way they've been treated and how it suggests we have to compete with each other. "But, we're sticking together." @nteunion.bsky.social members stand together against #ANU cuts.

Authoritarians depend on fear. Democracy depends on each other.

Very clever political cartoon about the top 1% loud scare campaign about paying little extra tax. @GoldingCartoons

This graph is remarkably straightforward.

Superannuation stoush “If we can’t even roll back tax concessions for which, everyone agrees, there’s no policy intent or purpose, that is only going to affect 0.5 per cent of Australians, then what hope have we got of getting more serious tax reform up?” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

After a landslide election win, a newly re-elected Labor Govt ministry has been sworn in. So the first topic of discussion for the panel on last Sunday's #Insiders? The Coalition! *sigh* 8min in and I may have to stop watching. It's insultingly irrelevant. 🙄 #auspol #AusVotes25

SkyAfterDark RWNJ Peta Credlin has called on Labor to stop their Tax on people with $3million+ in Super saying multibillionaire corporate magnate Gerry Harvey has labelled it “stupidity of the highest order” 🤣 I’m liking this tax even more now.

This is quite an extraordinary table from Streem showing how many seats each party would have won if their share of seats matched their share of media coverage during the campaign. You're not imagining it. The Murdoch press et al didn't shut up about Dutton. Lucky no-one was listening. #auspol

The LNP and the real hate media It should finally be recognised that Sky News and certain newspapers are no longer news services, and they are in part responsible for the resounding thrashing of Peter Dutton and his team www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

You will not be surprised that @PeterDutton_MP & his LNP COALITION WILL RIP $431 MILLION FROM TAFE students, teachers, support staff and local colleges We must continue the rebuilding of TAFE after the disaster of the last LNP govt #dontriskdutton

When will Peter Dutton visit a location where he is proposing a nuclear site? www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Is Peter Dutton’s leadership weak? Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has refused to say whether a Liberal Party candidate who apologised for derogatory social media posts should be disendorsed ahead of Saturday's federal election. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Over more than two decades in parliament, Dutton has assembled extraordinary personal wealth – routed through family trusts, investment companies and real estate deals, most of it invisible to voters. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

The ASRC has so far held 4 Federal Election Candidates Forums. All candidates are invited to each forum. Most importantly to give refugees attending a chance to ask each candidate where they stand. For a fourth time in a row the Liberal Party candidate declined to attend.

I’ve been working on Monday's election #4Corners. It's a bit spicy. A bit sweary. IMHO, a cracking good watch. Spent some time on the buses. It was... real. Or, to be precise, it wasn't real at all. But insight into a high stakes election in a high stakes world. #auspol

Liberal & Labor powerbrokers behind new dark money campaign outfit - adds to far-right Advance Aust - to hit Teals & Greens #auspol #election2025 Investigation by Wendy Bacon & @yaakov-aharon.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/labor-and-li...

Don’t Risk Dutton Another back flip. Duttons Coalition confirmed it would axe Labor’s tax breaks for electric vehicle drivers – just two days after he ruled out scrapping it. So tax break for purchasing petrol - no tax break electric cars. Can’t trust Dutton - can’t believe a word Dutton says.

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

#5: Close superannuation tax loopholes The Albanese Government proposed to reduce concessions on super balances over $3 million. This would only affect the top 0.5% of super balances and help restore fairness.

#4: Close tax loopholes for luxury utes Huge, American-style utes have increased in number on our roads, fuelled by tax concessions: exemptions from the Luxury Car Tax and loopholes in the Fringe Benefits Tax.

#3: End fossil fuel subsidies In 2023-24, the Federal Government provided $11.8 billion in fossil fuel subsidies, with increases forecast for future budget years.

#2: Reform negative gearing & the capital gains tax discount The combination of these tax concessions for housing investors has inflated house prices well beyond incomes and made it harder for people to buy a home to live in.

#1: End the gas industry’s free ride In 2023-24, just $1.1bn was raised by the PRRT. Australia collects 5x more from students repaying HECS!

Policy of the Day: Five ideas to make our tax system better. If we make the gas industry pay their fair share, reduce loopholes that benefit the wealthy, and stop subsidising fossil fuels, we can collect more revenue to build world-class services that a country like Australia deserves.

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

James Patterson just accused the Government of not releasing policy detail. Kept a straight face, too🙄 #auspol #AusVotes25 #abc730

I would like JD Vance to visit Donald Trump and bring Liz Truss along just to be sure
