Not all, but an environment that tolerates ironic racism has trouble stamping out actual racism.

Which (thanks to Kirby in 1994) has such broad criteria that it can cover almost every imaginable situation.

The 2001 campaign was headlined by heinous things though, and the 2004 one was based around the radical idea that Mark Latham was not a good fit for the office of Prime Minister.

Eg: how does this government sell a repeat of Budget 2014?

They can't, because that kind of poo poo is unsellable. They'd have had more of a chance if they'd have proposed actually significant savings (like Howard's first budget) instead of vindictive penny-pinching, but that would have required them to not be chickenshits.

The cap gains discount is the main driver of the whole problem and is a perfectly sensible thing to reduce or eliminate. I don't know why people are trying to downplay it, outside of thoroughly reasonable skepticism that they'd do it.

NPR Journalizard posted:

I would also enjoy it if they changed negative gearing so that the discount only applies to the income stream that generated the loss. So you cant go "Im losing $10k on my mortgage, time to apply that to my salary" but you can go "im losing $10k on my mortgage, I can use that to offset repairs to the property"

That kind of change is definitely worth considering (and is done in some other countries from what I understand).
