3 May. Temu Trumps first act is to cancel everyone's tax cuts.
He really has been completely wedged. Temporary reduction in the price of fossil fuel. Way to woo the teals
Can see why Albo is now clear favourite with the bookies

And the fuel reduction will do nothing. It'll come down for a minute then they will remember that they know what we have accepted paying for fuel.

Pretty decent budget i thought. Smart politically too.

Temu Trump's lack of any actual plan might hurt him. Which is a surprise in this country.

Like, christ, how is he the best the libs have to offer?

A functional democracy needs a worthwhile opposition.

Will we ever get out of the politics gutter that so many countries are in?

Right about the time politics goes back to being about public service, helping people and leaving the country better than when you arrived.

Who would you prefer Sussssan Ley or Angus? They really need to look at the best candidates they can get - not fall back on who went to what school or what happy clappy church they go to.

The Liberal party used to have moderates like Viner, McPhee, Steele Hall, Harry Edwards, Bruce Baird even Andrew Peacock. That was when they were a good Govt and Opposition. Amanda Vanstone was even a moderate at first until she was told she would lose her pre-selection unless she changed tune. So much for a broad church.

There are plenty of people in the Liberal Party that could do a much better job than those in Parliament but it is too much a matter of who you know - not your ability.

They have shot themselves in the foot. Without their lurch to the right there would be no Teals.

Considering the cost of living issues that Labor has been in power on it should be a walk in for Liberals but Voldermort turns off Liberals little own swing voters.

The tax cuts are useless and expensive. Terrible play. Especially moving the Medicare levy threshold as well. You want to improve Medicare but your stopping people from paying. They should of increased the Medicare Levy. Sure it’s a tax hike but you have to pay for it somehow.

The fuel excise as mentioned will provide more relief immediately but will be abused by petrol businesses. There are already 20/30 cent gaps depending on where you live and can jump 30c in a instant. So without regulation it won’t work either

The liberal leadership is terrible. The Teal breakaway is not helping but they are also tone deaf as well.

They are reaching on policies too. Saying your going to sack government employees and stop WFH is dumb. That’s a lot of votes automatically lost. If you want to do dumb shit like that do it in yr 2 and don’t tell the voters.

Will be interesting to see how close it actually is

i put the start as fox news and newt gingrich . as well as reagan's veto of the fairness doctrine

the only thing the greens have ever been good at was electing LNP governments .
see the ets act of bastardy

The thing about that was the ETS was bi-partisan before the election and Rudd changed it accommodate the Liberals to be more like the Howard proposed one.
