I’m shocked that Morrison would leave politics and immediately go to the defence industry, just shocked I tell you. I really wish they’d do something about that, like at least a token amount of time before they join a deep pocketed industry where they take down millions just for having connections in parliament. Unfortunately it’s another “the people who make the rules benefit, so they won’t change the rules” thing. Is usb drives of crypto the modern version of bagfuls of cash or is that just a fictional thing?

I wonder how much Morrison's connections in Parliament are worth to an employer. I was under the impression that he was not well liked within his party. Along with his well documented managerial incompetence it's not surprising that it took him this long to find a gig

It looks ok to me as someone in the first tax bracket and it also seems ok for the second tax bracket earners ie most of the population but I guess the argument that it could be more impactful for those brackets at the expense of the highest tax bracket still is relevant

Labor should never have supported it in the first place, and absolutely never should have promised to leave it alone. This entire saga is a completely unforced error on their part and if they'd showed a spine earlier they wouldn't be in the mess. The libs are right here, the ALP did say they wouldn't gently caress with it and now they probably are. The ALP deserve every bit of poo poo they are about to eat for this.

JBP posted:It's meant to be 12 months but lmao if you think someone is monitoring former ministers' phone calls to make sure they aren't doing deals. I looked it up, ministers have an 18 month lobbying ban in their specific portfolio after they cease to hold office, people who work under them have a 12 month ban and there's a general 12 month lobbying ban above a certain level "relating to any matter that the person had official dealings with in the person’s last 12 months of that employment". Attorney-General's Department posted:11. Prohibition on lobbying activities Scummo secretly appointed himself as Minister in the Health, Finance, Industry Science Energy & Resources, Home Affairs and Treasury (but not Defense) and his 18 month lobbying ban in those 5 specific portfolios ended in November 2023 and his general 12 month lobbying ban on "any matter that the person had official dealings with in the person’s last 12 months of that employment" ended in May 2023, as long as sitting on the backbench playing Tetris on his phone doesn't count as having "official dealings" on specific matters.

How am I supposed to find it in me to forgive Albo his perfidy when I can barely hear myself think over the sound of cash pouring into my pockets from this increased tax cut? It’s too much to ask of someone. He’ll have to go.

We live in a political landscape where optics are 100% of the game, and the fact is that Labor drew a line in the sand and are likely crossing it. What we will get is smug conservatives who will never shut up about the Perfidious Albo and Lying Labor who Won't Keep Promises and are Fuelling Inflation. All they had to do was not support the Stage 3 cuts in the first place OR not promise to keep them during the election. To further drive home the point - the ALP ran a reasonably aspirational platform back in 2019 which was shouted down with "Death Tax" and "Bad Economic Managers". It didn't matter how positive the platform was, or how little the average punter would have been impacted. Labor is in the position that they'll be taking a hit no matter what they do, so I really hope they make the most of it rather than doing a half-hearted thing.

Labor should have done this sooner, and not supported it in the first place, but I will give them credit for doing something good even if they did it in the dumbest way possible. Everyone knew the stage 3 cuts were dogshit, I'm glad that if they are going to do tax cuts they've at least rebalanced them to be not a massive handout to the rich. The economy will loving thank them as well.
