A leading property economist is warning Labor’s negative gearing and capital gains tax changes will cause rents to soar without seeing more first homebuyers enter the housing market as investors lost interest.

The last 24 hours of one nation is hilarious.

Fucking pea brains and drunks.

Literally making up policy during interviews. Zero ideas.

A small part of me would like to see them in for the entertainment.

Transgender rights are such a minor side issue, I don't understand why they get so much fucking airtime.

With that said, I wonder what the Greens do in, say, 10 years if we continue to make such rapid progress on the energy transition. Their raison d'etre as a party is more or less gone.

Most greens voters are the off spring of liberal voters. They just live in the inner city and want to pretend they’re open minded while managing their investment portfolio.

Interesting view, is there a reason you think that? I’ve historically largely voted Green. My parents are both rusted on labor voters and there’s nothing inner city about the shithole Sydney suburb I grew up in, nor do I have an investment portfolio (unless super counts!) From my interactions with greens voters, what you’ve said isn’t my experience of them at all.

I tend to agree generally this.
I’m sure there is a % old er trendy city wanka yuppie ex Lib professional Hippocrites as tsf mentions but not the majority I feel.
Greens have been in plenty of lost souls from either side of the fence and swingers.

Thats my experience in Melbourne. Maybe it’s different there but it’s largely the case here.

I live inner city, always have. Thats definitely what I have encountered here.
