Both major parties' housing policies are cooked, because they'll mainly push prices higher, but the Coalition's is completely cooked - it will only benefit people who can afford to buy property anyway, giving them a tax deduction they don't need.

When there's a story abt Russia seeking to base long-range bombers on Indonesian air bases in West Papua, Patricia Karvelas (ABC's Afternoon Briefing) goes to Opp'n Ldr Peter Dutton for comment, not PM, Foreign Affairs Min, or DefMin. She knows Dutton will bag PM Albanese & say he's weak, as usual.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Seems to be some concern about Russia potentially basing aircraft within range of Darwin. Fair enough. But surprisingly little concern from authorities, or the media, about the far greater risk: the US basing air force planes in Darwin. #ausvotes #auspol thenightly.com.au/politics/wor...

It used to be important to gain a lot of followers in case something tragic happened and you needed to crowdfund health care, now it’s important in case you get disappeared and sent off to a Salvadorean hell prison.

Politicians like Abbott, Morrison and Dutton always drag their wives and children into the political spotlight when they need political capital. At the same time, they say “leave my family out of it”. Why don’t you leave your own families out of it?

Why did ABCTV's #QandA have Liberal Roshena Campbell on the panel? She's not in federal politics (she failed to win the 2023 Aston by-election, losing to Labor's Mary Doyle AND she's not the candidate this election). Who's on next week? Georgina Downer?! 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes25

Patricia Karvelas is finishing her Afternoon Briefing by getting a wrap-up of Peter Dutton's election campaign from his stalker Tom Crowley. You'd hope there wd be balance by interviewing an Anthony Albanese stalker as well. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. #auselects2025

It seems the Libs have people looking for negative posts about Coalition MPs (like this factual one re Jacinta Price) on TikTok. They copy&paste the text, but replace Price's name with Penny Wong and Liberals with Labor! Blatant disinformation. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes25 #PutTheLibsLast

Dutton's policy is to give people who can already afford to enter the housing market a tax payer subsidy for five years on the repayments they can already afford to make. It does not increase supply, help lower income people get a deposit, or enter the market. It's a tax break for the wealthy.
