Day 22 cont 💰💰💰🏡

“Nearly half of all #renters sit in the bottom 40% of income levels, compared with just one-fifth of first home buyers.

“If you’re in the bottom two #quintiles of income, you’re probably not really going to have enough #income to be servicing a #mortgage, whichever way you go,” Phillips says.

“There’s not a lot that we’ve seen in the election #campaign to really help those people, and they’re the people who really are #struggling.”

That leaves nearly half the renting population, or four million #Australians, beyond the reach of homebuyer help even before the new #policies arrive.”

If you don’t own or cannot afford a home, Australian politicians are not interested in you.

@Nonilex ... there are some basics that are being missed when it comes to any/all #DOGE actions, is that it is raw granular #data. It is indexed under a specific person, or company, or organization, and in such detail that _anyone_ who has it can 'become' that identity.

Fake a voting ballot for every living (or dead) citizen? Absolutely! Write a #campaign #contribution check? Of course! Transfer funds from your charity into my some fascist 'wealth fund'? You got it!

The raw data is the prize.

Day 17 cont 🎃🥔🤓

“Donald Trump 🎃 was seen only months ago as a disruptive force who brought huge danger to #AnthonyAlbanese at this election campaign.
But things changed when the US president brought chaos and confusion to world markets and became an economic risk to #Australia with his #tariff policies.

Now we have hard #data on how this is reshaping the #election – and ⚡️hurting #PeterDutton🥔🤓⚡️ at the halfway point of the #campaign.”

For all those who can’t read behind the lines? #Straya is not #Merica.

Conservatives fear 'dysfunctional' campaign and 'civil war' in the party: sources
As Conservative infighting over how the campaign is handling Donald Trump’s tariff threats spills into the open, sources within the party are describing a “dysfunctional” campaign with too much centralized power and belittling and aggressive treatment of staff.
