Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.
At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.
Almost 30, so you’ve voted what, 3 times? Yeah you’re new to this politics thing.
So you can afford a property with a mortgage now, or you will be able to get a mortgage “in a couple of decades”? Pretty significantly different things.
Ok so by the sounds of it youre way out where the cost of living increases havent been dramatic, neither has the house price issue. So you’re an outlier and not really representative of the majority. It’s a fact that the majority are struggling now more than ever, that there is a cost of living crisis, that there is a housing crisis, that there is a power price crisis. Even labor acknowledge this. They just won’t take any blame and keep saying that they’re the only ones that will fix it…with policies that make it worse.
I could get a mortgage in like 3 years if I felt like it (I really really don’t, fuck interest).
They are pushing policies to fix it, as opposed to the liberal party who literally won’t fix anything because they only make shit worse.
One party is trying to spend billions on housing, one isn’t. One party is trying to get more cheaper electricity, one isn’t. One party is increasing pay for the poorest in society, one isn’t. One party wants to help the environment, one doesn’t consider the environment to be an issue. One party is happy for LGBT people to exist, one isn’t. One party is known for introducing major things that help Australians like Medicare, NDIS and super, one isn’t. One party has managed a surplus in my adult life, one hasn’t.
I’m not saying issues don’t exist, I’m saying the party that is in power most of the time isn’t fixing it, and the Labor party has a long history of being for workers and is actually trying to do something about it. its mostly competent and well meaning vs greedy and/or incompetent, and it’s real clear with all the corruption and shady shit the coalition does which party is which.
You’ve just spouted their party approved talking points like a good little party member. None of their plans actually do any of that. For all their “trying” to spend billions on housing, they’ve built nothing. They’ve been in power!!! They built nothing houses! Trying to get cheaper electricity? They’re not trying very hard by tripling electricity costs and locking us in to higher prices by “renewables”! Help the environment by bulldozing all the trees to build endless non-recyclable solar panels and wind turbines? No one “doesn’t want LBGTQ people to exist” lol.
Almost everything this Labor party has done is a complete shitshow, NDIS included. Labor are now looking at taxing unrealized gains on people’s super ffs!
