Is that independent one of the Teal candidates Thry?
There's a good chance the next government will be a minority one.
It may be that that Teal group are in a position to have some influence over decision making.
If it's just an 'independent' indendent they can say what they like because they'll never have to deliver.

That group of Palmer's are promising a lot of things they'll never be in a position to deliver.


its a teal based on the colour of the flyer?

Honestly I was shocked to read it.  Sure i got a 10k first home owner Grant on 500k home way back when, but our stamp duty was about 40k to go with it.  If I get slugged land tax on top I'll be livid.

On the Bellarine the "vacancy tax" in addition to greatly increased land taxes (400%) is playing havoc with prices. People are dumping places, and in my neighbours words "p!ssing off to Queensland where we don't get reamed for owning a holiday house".
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

My bought a property in Port Douglas, he reckons the Qld government collects land tax for that property plus tax on any  other property you may have in Victoria. He owns a few rentals here so he will be up for a bundle.

Land tax in Queensland is based on the total value of Australian land owned by a taxpayer.

Agree ...times are tough and everyone including all levels of government are trying to hit you up for extra money and in the most ludicrous of ways. You can plant some vegies, get some sheep on your land so you can call yourself a primary producer or start a cult, build a chapel then register yourself as a charity to get an exemption...😉

And this current government certainly knows how to spend it! As Kerry Packer once said "as a Government I can tell you  youre not spending it that well that we should be donating extra"

Been getting some very unsavoury material in my letterbox & and it isn't from any party.  Looks like some branch of some right wing fascists....and they clearly don't like Albanese.  Lot of disinformation and BS flying around - more so than usual.
There's a mob called Advance Australia, a rich boys' lobby group, who specialise in spreading disinformation in support of a very conservative agenda.

There was an article about them in the Good Weekend Age last week.  Worth reading. 

We are getting more like the States, where people learn most of their political information from 20 second ads on TV and social media memes.  Both sides are doing it. 
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Clive Palmer....how can this clown be allowed to run a political party and flood our TVs with his advertising thats just a collection of simplistic popularist unrealistic policies? Then you look at his involvement with this airstrip he condemns in his advertising that is meant to be the gateway for China to invade and then you find out the structure of companies involved and how it came about and how Palmer is profiting from it. Its hilarious really that he even has the gonads to produce the rubbish advertising that he does every election and its hard to take Aus politics seriously anymore, there is no one fit to run the country unfortunately.
If we had a sacked, cracked and backed list for politicians the sacked column would be full...

Palmer is as transparent as a fish tank.
He's an opportunist who believed he saw a chance.
He thought he could ride the coat tails of Trump like policies, and campaign strategies, into some political gain.
Seemed like a good idea at the time....it had worked pretty well in the States.
Surely there was a ground swell of 'like thinking' folk in Oz.

What Palmer didn't take into account was the 'lag time' between Trump's election and the Australian one.
That's given Trump's 'bat crap' crazy shenanigans time to impact, and generally people are just seeing chaos.
There will still be those who may support the "Trumpettes" but it won't be the revolutionary support Palmer thought and would have hoped to see.

As we all know there are only two polls that count....election day and the CSC poll.
Looks like Dutton is in trouble a week out...but he's going a lot better than Palmer.

I twigged pretty quickly Tonyo that it's some kind of MAGA aligned group.  The fact that I've now seen their ads on TV is a bit alarming.  Their style is always "X is crap, X is rubbish etc" but they never give any outline of who is better and what they are actually going do to "fix" or improve whatever they think is crap.

Qualities of a real leader: Excellent communication skills, Vision, Courage, Empathy, Honesty/Integrity, Self-reflection/Awareness, Ability to Include and Inspire, Intellectual and Emotional Intelligence, Humility and Accountability (there are more!).

I've had the very good fortune over the duration to have met and worked with a number of people who demonstrated those leadership qualities and values. But none of them were politicians.
