The Albanese government

[PZ.]

Until the opposition goes back to the centre it won't regain Govt for another decade.

If it stays to the right it is merely preaching to the dwindling pool of the converted.

At 64 it's too late for Ley to ever be the PM. So expect a change of leadership in around 2 years

So now in addition to all the other BS we taxpayers pay for, we're paying 20% of left handed lesbian transexual dance degrees?

Just been reading that Albo The Elbow has capitulated to The Trumpet re importing beef into Australia.
Not only is the beef from the USA but also bought into their country from Canada and Mexico.
So out the window goes the safeguards of where the animal was bred, where it was slaughtered etc.
Looks to be an under the table agreement with little to no information available at present.

It seems pretty symbolic.

The Americans can't produce enough beef to feed themselves, so why are they interested in exporting to such a small market that produces enough beef for ourselves?

I doubt many Aussies would buy US beef when they can buy quality Australian stuff.

Trump just wants to look like a he man, and we have fallen for it.

SEN. DICK DURBIN (D-IL): Why do you say–? Give me an example of a boondoggle in medical research.

DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH: I mean, we’re talking about some stuff I shouldn’t say in public, you know, (PANTOMIMES MARBLE INSERTION) marbles in the rear ends of cats, tens of millions of dollars. Things that don’t have a connection to what you’re talking about. So I respect the–.

Trump Defense Hearing Goes In Stunning Direction — ‘Up The Rear Ends Of Cats’

Trump Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took his Senate testimony in a stunning direction when he cited "marbles up the rear ends of cats" at a hearing.

There is such a thing?

 

[wayneL]

Sure, along with Mesopotamian tattoo design, Wiccan potions and spells, Vegan cooking for Fabians etc.

Of course I'm slightly embellishing, but most the liberal arts and humanities degrees are not that different.

Bring Back the Beef

Bring Back the Beef

I saw some video if beef processing on the news. It was about 10% meat and 90% fat. If that was US beef, they can keep it.

The way McDonalds, Hungry Jacks etc sell, I think it will do great here. What's our obesity rate? Lol
Customers will be asking, " can I get it without the 10% meat".

I read online that in Japan, USA beef has been replaced with Aussie beef because of tarriffs.

They are loving it

Wait... There is beef in a quarter pounder?

Who knew?

My youngest and his wife have just returned from a holiday in Japan.
He is a meat consumer, and she is a lover of rabbit tucker.
He said what he saw on the shelves was beef from Australia in volume, but wasn't aware that the US beef supply was being curtailed there.

I got to talking to a couple of red meat producers today, whom I didn't know from a bar of soap.
Like me, when they heard that The Elbow had capitulated to The Trumpet's demand of Aust accepting the 2nd rate US beef and their imports, they just about were ready to demolish their TV sets.
Lack of traceability, (ie from birth to the table), unknown abattoir protocols, and diseases that could destroy our industry.
Wow The Elbow is right on the money with this decision.

 

[PZ.]

Yeah, Chinese warships, bad beef and Russian oil all coming to OZ. Gotta love it...

It's all in the name of a good cause, you just have to work out the cause.

Obviously, all of a sudden we have become flavour of the day, week, month and year.

Hmmmm The cause, struggling to find one that suits.

Sounds like a reasonable plan, tax the BIG earning companies a bit more, unless they spend more on growing the economy, clever.

Shareholders lose a little, the tax coffers gain a lot, les damage than increasing GST.

Chalmers faces ‘Keating moment’ as business slams company tax plan

The Productivity Commission has proposed a world-first approach to company tax reform. Business says it will hurt consumers at the supermarket.

www.smh.com.au

From the article, without the fluff:

On Friday, the commission released its recommendations to overhaul the company tax system under which the current 25 and 30 per cent rates would be sliced to 20 per cent for all firms with a turnover of less than $1 billion.
The cashflow tax would apply to all companies, but its impact would be reduced by firms investing more heavily in new technology, equipment and buildings.

While it would have a neutral effect on the federal budget, the nation’s 500 largest firms, including multinationals such as Netflix, Apple, Transurban, Amazon and News Corp, would pay more tax.
The commission estimates the tax switch will boost the economy by $15 billion and lift productivity.

Sounds like a fair deal.
But will the big boys then switch to a tax haven??
