        The poor old Australian having to report the electorate has ‘defied’ its requirements. Again. This is much too good.

        Not “despite” you wallys. It’s good policy. The electorate are a bit fed up with the hypocrisy of the richest in the country. Payouts to the rich, Tax cuts for record profit making big business but cuts for schools, hospitals, pensioners, and the most vulnerable, as wages fall.

        HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. EAT SHIT YOU PLUTOCRATIC SHILLS. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You mean Labor reaches new heights, because of, not despite, tax plan. Taxing the rich is very popular. #auspol

        Rolling back a bit of Howard era middle-class welfare isn't a tax. They're just returning the imputation system to what it was originally intended to do, prevent double taxation. It wasn't intended to give handouts. #auspol

        You never know. Maybe it's "because of" their new tax plan. I, for one, have been waiting for federal Labor to show some gumption and this is a good step towards that.

        Yeah...fairness...it's a thing. Also, leadership. We may not always agree with policies, but the Aust voting public respects genuinely held centralist beliefs and rewards authentic leaders.
