Geez, who would've guessed more gaslighting and BS from Voldemort tonight. Trying to pretend he wasn't in government for a decade just 12 months ago and only repeating the same Sky-after-dark brainfarts used and rejected at the 2022 election.
I thought his budget reply was pretty terrible. Uninspiring, stilted, delivery, all over the place at times. TLDW: "There was nothing wrong with what we offered you plebs in 2022, also **** Labor." Plenty of the usual RWNJ tropes and a bunch of 'facts' which he seems to have pulled from his arse (e.g. something about Labor undermining the military... lolwut?)
He's going to look a right goose if inflation and interest rates do trend down as forecast.
Also Paul Fletcher resting confused face

Oh so predictable.
Make no mistake, we need an intelligent, calm debate on population.
Peter Dutton has no interest in providing that.

Desperate Dutton’s attack lines are dynamite
The leader of the opposition is turning debate over the budget into a campaign that reignites xenophobic fears in the community.

So cut pokies adds during sport on TV- good but not budget reply
Cut immigration - good but the ALPs crazy level of immigration is still lower than Duttons plan last year
Other than that, it seemed to be random it is bad without detail or alternatives?
Whilst aspects of Albos budget are disappointing, the difference in preferred PM will justifiably grow after the budget

The silence on the much more inflationary stage 3 cuts is deafening.
Low income people don’t drive inflation as they are going to just buy more food than they used to (not enough to cause a supply issue) or by actually paying a power bill doesn’t mean prices go up. But higher income earners who will buy discretionary items which are more supply sensitive (eg plane trips for holidays) that is inflationary.
Yet ****ing crickets from anyone in the media.
Self interested shits.

What's old is new. Vileness appeals strongly to some folks.
Dutton certainly is proving ex Queensland coppers are not the brightest of the bunch. He claimed that Oz has a higher inflation rate all the G7 countries, which is an outright lie. Britain has a about a 10% inflation rate, much higher than our own of 7%. Most of the G7 countries have a rate similar to ours. I hope someone in press pulls him up on this, but they probably won't.
Also - We need nuclear power like a hole in the head,

Interesting bits, particularly this:
"Mr Dutton followed the conventional format to a certain point. He began with a tale of his own family's straitened circumstances in the early 1990s, when interest rates under the Labor government were at their peak (17 per cent in January 1990) and, in Mr Dutton's words, "I remember the difficult conversations around the dinner table as we pored over the family budget trying to find ways to pay the next bills and cut back expenses".
Which certainly would gel with many families recalling the period in question. Where it gets awkward is that, as the Sydney Morning Herald's real estate correspondent Lucy Macken shrewdly noted last year, Peter Dutton was aged just 20 in September 1990 when he – after one of these rounds of Dickensian dinner-table despair — decided that the best way of cutting expenses was: "Buy a Yeronga apartment for $93,000".
He sold it two years later for $116,500, then the following year bought a brick home in Murrumba Downs for $60,000 with his dad, then sold that two years later for $175,000. All of which is perfectly reasonable, of course, and speaks well of Mr Dutton's youthful spunk. But the lived experience doesn't necessarily bear out the theory that none can thrive under the crippling yoke of Labor mismanagement."
He really struggled through the 90s, the old spud. No wonder he couldn't pay his bills, Was too busy counting his gains!
Nothing illegal in this, of course.
Just that he's now spinning a narrative in his budget reply THAT NEVER HAPPENED.
It was all going to script. Then the opposition leader reached for the Dutton Button
The stately architecture of budget week follows a similar path each time, but this year it had the Dutton Button added in, writes Annabel Crabb.

more specifically those who are high profile - hosts of talkback radio for main commercial channels/ Abc, hosts of breakfast/ morning/ panel shows - yeah, they would be in the high tax bracket.

Dutton isn’t fit to hold any job.
Massive fail in his border protection role all the while demonising labor greens as too soft and proposing even more draconian laws on a regular basis.
‘But. We stopped the boats’

Population growth equals economic growth, but for whom?
We need immigration to replace ageing Baby Boomers. The problem isn't population growth, its the disconnect with housing and infrastructure.

We can't keep putting hectare upon hectare of land underneath Single-family housing developments with no retail close by and nothing but cars for transport.spud being a hypocrite who’d have thought?

We need decent compact housing with very long warranties against defects, on reliable train lines with frequent services and good links to other PT and bike infrastructure.
Big house blocks with expensive water, power and sewage connections and huge expensive road networks need to be done away with if we want sustainable growth. Some of these old estates far from city centres need to be dug up and replaced with denser, walkable neighbourhoods. LNP are not about that "socialist" stuff.

It's one of the good things about the slow but steady growth here. Because there hasn't been any of the mad explosion in population that other states have had we don't have huge urban sprawl and most of our newer developments are well serviced with serviced with infrastructure.

It's just a crime that we're arguing about keeping up with our obligations to, say, house refugees, because governments just want to appease developers and people who can't handle the idea that the world is different now and their desire for a big block - within easy driving distance of work - that they can spend 3 hours mowing every week is not sustainable any more. If it ever was.

There's a bunch through south Brisbane. West to Ipswich. I'm not familiar enough with north Brisbane to know their big estates.
In Melbs there's a ton of stuff on top of what used to be my uncle's big block of land out Tarneit way. Massive car-dependant estates made to generate carbon emissions.
Nobody's going to want their place dug up but all that is horrendous, unsustainable development.
