https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-12/psychologists-visits-rebates-mark-butler-covid/101760994 The ALP can get in the loving bin. The ALP are taking away additional mental health resources, because the pandemic is over and so they aren't needed anymore. They are putting me in the horrible position of having to agree with the coalition. fuckers.

Non Compos Mentis posted:Thread i have a question: the voice to parliament thing is good yeah? Thats why the no side is full of nutjobs? Its not as simple as good or bad imo. There are plenty of valid concerns about it : - The problem isnt about having a voice, its that the people already aren't being listened to, and this doesnt change that - It wont be representative of all indigenous groups - It will be co-opted and patsies installed - Relying on the oppressor to stop oppressing people is not great - It will be a figleaf that doesnt nothing concrete but allow racists to point at it as they continue to be racist AF I think its a step in the right direction personally, but im very white. https://www.facebook.com/ourcountryourchoice

I managed expectations when I started, and I can cruise along at like 60% and they are happy with that level of output. Look up sqlbi imo. Work paid for an account for me, but even their free stuff is really informative. The only thing reporting in excel has going for it right now is institutional inertia, and accountants who know how to do something in excel and have no desire to learn something new.

Sierra Madre posted:The thing is, this is probably the politically smart instinct. Anyone switching their vote away from Labor over this is not going to the Liberals, so there's ultimately nothing lost as long as the preferences flow correctly. Over 55s are more likely to switch, so you keep them happy with this move. Your younger base might never be satisfied, but they will always ultimately be in your corner, barring some conversion to right-wing politics. It's politically smart till enough people vote greens and they start getting elected.

Blamestorm posted:If they made changes to capital gains tax discount / negative gearing (they won’t, look at the stage 3 cuts lol) they would be grandfathered in, no way would they apply to people who’d made investment decisions for millions of dollars on expectation of the fat capital gain. It would be gradual and take twenty years. Not arguing on this point, but thats a different scenario than just taking away CGT discount and negative gearing immediately. I agree that boomers would totally pull the ladder up after themselves.

Everything else should be on the table, though. We need empty nest boomer who are sitting alone in 5 bedroom mansions to downsize, but they dont because stamp duty fucks them. Just need a financial incentive to get them to move.
