@dyckron Paul Keating is right again. Widely regarded as one of the world’s best treasurers in his time, he understood how tax settings shape an economy.
Australia has spent decades bending the system toward property speculation and passive gains while wages carry the burden. Rebalancing capital gains tax is not radical, it is overdue reform.

On May 14, 1986, Paul Keating said Australia risked becoming a 'banana republic' due to debt. This warning is being discussed again in 2026 as leaders look for ways to fix the current economy.

Hey #PaulKeating, I've been harsh on your #NeoLiberalism, suits and French clock-collecting.

But am impressed by your thoughts around who should get an OA (or CA).

There is a petition which would impose a non-CA status on a certain #ScottMorrison, former PM.

Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.

Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.

The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."

Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.
