something to look forward to tonight... Sarah Ferguson does another round with a liberal party lightweights, this time Angus. He's never had anything but waffle to offer and that never changes.

Maybe when they bother to turn up to vote.

My guesstimate is 4 & hopefully Tim Wilson isn’t one of them.

🚨 CALL OUT🚨 Are you an Aussie under 30 who's renting or looking to buy your first home? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the government's planned changes to CGT and negative gearing. My DMs are open! #auspol #callout #journorequest #casestudy #renter #firsthomebuyer

They don't seem to join the dots

Is anyone running a book on the number of Liberal party MPs there'll be after the next federal election? Be fun to have a flutter.

If the RW keep proclaiming they'll repeal these updated investment laws the young will NEVER vote for them

The Libs are getting more and more like Trump, their inadequacies becoming a joke to taunt in public initerviews

Investing in renewable energy is common sense.  We have some of the greatest natural resources in the world. Our sun and wind are powerful and are our own, separate from international crises.

Btw does One Nation have a party solidarity voting rule?

Bill Shorten was visionary in a way that was before his time. The visionary amongst us were right there with him, but sometimes the rest of the world needs time to catch up. Sometimes your ideas are great, but it’s all about the conditions and timing. #auspol

ASPI wonk on the ABC this morning was embarassing. US State Department & defence contractor talking points with 0 acknowledgement that it's the US who's pursuing wars of aggression that is directly responsible for the disorder that is being used to justify billions in spending. #auspol

NEW VIDEO: Greens candidate Jess Lane, who's running in this weekend's Stafford by-election, has hit out at the Queensland LNP's hate speech laws, describing them as part of a "fascist creep" that encroaches on freedom of speech WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqDI...

I'm afraid of the radio today. All I hear are Wilson or Taylor gabbling boilerplate nonsense.

If a shark had a voice, it would have that nasal quacking sound that Tim Wilson's has.

So Tim Wilson can only speak in slogans .... not terribly convincing #auspol

Treasurer Jim Chalmers just abolished negative gearing and the 50% CGT discount in the 2026 Federal Budget. The Treasury projects a drop in housing supply but an increase of 75,000 new homeowners. #AusPol #HousingMarket #Economy #RealEstate blazetrends.com/australia-ab...

dear libs etc

Jim Chalmers says when the LNP introduced the CGT discount in 1999, they “fundamentally distorted how investment happens” by “encouraging ppl to pile into existing housing” which pushed prices up & locked young ppl out.💥 The 27-year free ride is finally over. #auspol

Finally. The most progressive #budget in years tackles #wealthinequality in #Australia at its source - #negativegearing. That’s what leadership looks like - well done Jim #Chalmers ! 👏👏 Watch for the backlash from vested interests tho.. #auspol #ausecon #EconSky www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

We're sooooo lucky to have such a good government and brilliant Treasurer. Think of all the terrible governments currently wrecking the world and we've lucked out with an intelligent thoughtful one. I could wish certain things were different (e.g. the dud NACC, Gaza bravery etc)

How did Sen Price actively campaign against the Voice to Parliament (an advisory body allowing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives to inform Parliament on laws and policies affecting them) without fore-seeing a possible outcome like this: www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2026/05...

More confected outrage over "broken promises" Vast majority of people are not affected by negative gearing concessions. Grandfathering will protect current investors. Winding back these tax breaks is well overdue #auspol
