Dirty to pull this out now. If it works, if there really is a smoking gun then this is masterful politicking. If it backfires it'll be another classic second term labor foot-gun.

The LNP under "90s Queensland police are too kind and understanding to aboriginal kids" kipfler can't be handed the reigns of government. Australia will take decades to recover if it ever does.

Adolf Kipfler! Is that a thing? I like that. ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah I've seen him called that and I enjoy copying it. To be fair to him, which is easy since there's so little to defend, he's not a Nazi. He is a racist fascist though, so we're wading into the phylogeny of idiot ideologies for evil morons to mark out the differences.

It's not that dirty, just how campaigns are run now.

I'll be voting all minor parties across the board with the major parties right at the bottom. If the major parties want people to vote for them, they should try listening to the people and fixing the housing crisis and cost-of-living crisis.

Remove negative gearing, remove capital gains tax concessions, implement net-zero immigration, outlaw AirBnB, make foreign investment into residential property illegal, introduce a vacancy tax, punish developers who conduct "land-banking" and invest in TAFE to train the people we need locally.

This is pretty radical economic policy.

Is there any research supporting all of this or just the vibe?

Labor ran on negative gearing reform and we got morisson.

So you'll put Labor below One Nation?
