Conservatives genuinely believe this because they know in their hearts that even under the most lefty Government likely to be elected, they'll still be just fine. So for them it's really no more a significant difference in opinion than, say, which is the better football team.
Just a friendly reminder this #ElectionDay
This guy withholds completed dwellings from sale to maintain or increase prices. He has absolutely no interest whatsoever in fixing the housing crisis, every day it persists makes him richer. Keep that in mind reading his words.

Ted Cruz has been a US Senator since 2012 and is apparently only just finding how Government spending works. This is why we can't have nice things.
An absolute bombshell from @elonmusk on the latest episode of Verdict. He reveals there are 14 magic money computers in the federal government that send money out of nothing. Don’t miss the latest episode of Verdict wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe now!…
Spend your money on your kids when you (and they) are younger. Everyone will be better off.
After paying some of the highest personal tax rates in the world, and managing to save some money, its an outrage that the Government should confiscate funds that someone wishes to leave their kids. Trust the left wingers at @abcnews to peddle this socialist nonsense. We got…
Sky news wants people eligible for citizenship to have their citizenship withheld in case they exercise their rights as citizens the wrong way. Your regular reminder Conservatism is the opposite of Democracy.
Labor has been accused of "industrial-scale seat stacking" as it takes over from local councils to hold three days of citizenship ceremonies to welcome thousands of new Australians in marginal seats ahead of the Federal Election. skynews.com.au/australia-news…
This point is quite valid, and the problem it outlines very relal. Unfortunately attempts to try & remedy it are typically attacked by people using an "oh noes big Governments!" smokescreen over their desire to exploit & pillage those who have this difficulty with modernity.
Supporters of the face-eating leopards party increasingly alarmed as orgy of face devouring continues as predicted.
"A stark division is revealed between those who opposed wokeness primarily because it was authoritarian and being institutionalised and those who opposed it because it was the wrong kind of authoritarian and wanted to institutionalise something else." hpluckrose.com/p/what-is-goin…
CIS chief economist doesn’t understand progressive income taxes.
We facilitate the children of the professional classes inheriting their parents' privilege and get those without a university degree to pay for it.
The yanks founded their country by kicking out a King, conservatives have wanted one back ever since, and now they're so close they can taste it.
I just introduced a resolution to amend the 22nd Amendment to allow President Trump to seek a third term. Read the details.👇ogles.house.gov/media/press-re…
Conservatives spend years calling lefties traitors, paedophiles, baby murderers, and worse, then wonder why they don't want to hang out with them anymore.
MrBeast is putting 2 pilots in a private jet for 100 days with unlimited fuel, and if they make it, they get to keep the jet
Hello @acccgovau, Large Australian Retailer does not appear to be meeting their ACL responsibilities. I have a reclining couch <2yrs old with electric issues, they are refusing to repair under warranty claiming their supplier's warranty on electrics is 12mo only. What can I do ?
Schools should not only provide lunches, but also all textbooks, workbooks, stationary and technology required.
It's not free. It's paid for by taxpayers. And why should people pay for the "free" lunch of other people's children? Feeding your kids is the responsibility of parents. And if there are cases of social disadvantage where some kids aren't getting fed then we have a welfare…
For the same cost as a couple of mediocre houses in Sydney's inner suburbs, you could buy a fucking skyscraper in America.
The AT&T Tower has sold in St. Louis for just $3.55 million (around $2/sqft), it was sold for over $205 million in 2006
"I shall superficially agree demand is a factor, but assert it cannot be moderated because immigration cannot be limited. When people use COVID as an example, I will present an "all immigration or none" false dilemma & entertain no further discussion. I am very smart."
Who’s refusing to consider demand? Certainly not me You’re big on those straw men, hey?
Imagine if Conservatives were this weirdly obsessed about, say, fixing poverty.
I’m guessing the @victoriangreens don’t have a ready supply of Australian Flags, so I tried to drop one off at their leader’s office today. 🇦🇺 Happy Australia Day! #HappyAustraliaDay #AustralianFlag #Australia #AustraliaDay26Jan
The policy is to have no policy. The government can't act because it is not an agent, it's just an observer, witnessing events. "We hope the market builds x houses in y years" "We expect migration to decline to x in y years" We can't DO anything.
So... housing is unaffordable for young people. And older people are retiring deeper in debt than ever. What's the Government's (and Opposition's) housing policy, again? And population policy? Crickets... smh.com.au/business/banki… #ausbiz #auspol
