Just imagine the outrage if those reports showed a more detailed breakdown of the expenses. I wonder what the drink charge for the flights/hotels are.

What are some really marginal LNP seats that would benefit from a thorough examination of their claimed expenses?

So if we threaten them enough they'll put it back up, yeah?

Rougey posted:Witnesses also claimed he was shouting "the government is after me" when doing doughnuts earlier. Early reports that the cops had been chasing/monitoring him via the air for quite a while so he wasn't exactly wrong.

open24hours posted:Mr Sukkar said the government would not countenance changes to negative gearing, but voters could expect a "big, multifaceted approach" that could extend to "serious tax reform" in co-operation with the states. So this means they'll just give developers massive tax cuts. Cause if you aren't going to get rid of negative gearing or capital gains tax deductions then that's pretty much the only option.

norp posted:The sad thing is that because existing housing is a non productive investment it would be a significant economic stimulus to remove the tax incentives associated with it. And the cheaper houses are for owner occupiers the more money they have to spend on other stuff.

Watch them push for deregulation of state planning systems while giving take breaks to developers. Then watch it not work and the quality of housing fall even further.

Solemn Sloth posted:Next years campaign is going to be fun if they don't replace him before then If Labor hasn't figured out how to paint his as incredibly incompetent or corrupt by the next election then Vic Labor is as stupid as The Greens Renewal. Between the Fishermans bend rezoning, Ventnor and whatever else he has in his closet it can't be that loving hard can it? You Am I posted:It's only his cheerleaders in the Herald Sun that try to make him look good that's kept him as leader. Otherwise Dandrews is the man, no matter how much Murdoch and the State and Federal Liberal Parties hate him. Yeah, Andrews has far surpassed my expectations of a Labor run government. The only real slip up he's made is the whole CFA thing which was probably a lose/lose for him no matter what he did. (and the kids in adult jail thing but most idiots probably have no issue with that). The LNP will almost certainly push a law and order 'tough on crime' campaign given the current crap show going on but it shouldn't be too hard for Andrews to do something similar while also having other things to work with. Unlike the Libs at least he can point to a bunch of stuff that he's done or is in the process of doing since he got in. A MCG/Richmond station development seems like an easy sell for the next election. More level crossing removals would probably work as well.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:CFA thing wasn't even a slip-up of policy, it was just fuckwits trying to drum up a non-existant issue. It even backfired on them. A whole bunch of the volunteers in the integrated stations changed over to the MFB. Yeah, fair enough. I was thinking more from a media/public perception point of view. It was probably never going to play out well no matter what he did. He's either going to be portrayed as screwing the MFB or the CFA. Wouldn't surprise me if they just decided to get it out of the way early enough that people will have forgotten about it by the next election.

Solemn Sloth posted:I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear that the level of opposition to Skyrail is actually a massive media beatup WHAT!? It would be nice if they did some high quality community consultation prior to making the decisions (the stuff I've read about the initial projects was that it was pretty much all for show). But even then there would probably still be a bunch of people kicking up a stink about it. I'm very interested to see how well they utilize the spaces under the sections of elevated rail. If they can make some high quality public spaces with the community's needs taken into account it could be a big plus. It'd be a real shame if they didn't capitalise on the opportunity.
