PM out of touch

Can’t afford soaring rent? Buy a house, says the PM

https://au.yahoo.com/finance/news/cant-afford-soaring-rent-buy-house-says-pm-002648143.html

Is this idiot for real????? He is so out of touch with real people.

A friend rents and looked into buying a house and the difference was staggering. She barely affords the rent now but repayments on the home would have exceeded her monthly rental substantially. If she were to marry (has a fiance) the combined wage of the both of them to pay for the home's monthly repayments, would not improve the finance balance anymore than what she has as a single person now.

Would Albo be any better? Nope as I don't trust them, in fact none of them. They can promise the world if they get in, but once in they can back out so easily - no money in the kitty now to give 2.5 billion over 4 years to more nurses and carers for facilities and better food for residents. Finally, there would be tougher regulation and greater accountability by providers. (and about time too). No money to fulfill Labors plans for the people and country. But there's ALWAYS money for damn mining.

It is not just Morrison that has lost touch. The LNP are comprised of millionaires who only have themselves and their business donors' interests at heart. The working population do not want cash handouts that will give, at best, 10 fill ups at the petrol bowser. Real wages for most have been effectively frozen for over 10 years whilst all living expenses including housing have soared. The only ones increasing their wealth exponentially have surnames such as Forrest, Murdoch, Hancock, Harvey along with many of our politicians. We need to get real politicians back not the carpetbaggers that we have today. Ideally, I would like towards term limits for all politicians so that career politicians looking for advancement and increased remuneration are replaced by more honest and true public servants prepared to make Australia a better place to live for all Australians. Now, the country exists for a privileged few. 

 

Which MP's are "millionaires"? I presume that you mean very rich, not just living in a home that inflation has made worth over a $million. It's interesting that Labor had more millionaires than the other side at one stage, Turnbull as opposed to Rudd and Garrett. The MP's Register of Interests shows that Morrison has one property and Albanese has four properties.

He's referring to members and donors of the LNP in general and not MP's in particular. 

"Real wages for most have been effectively frozen for over 10 years "

Albanese has promised to fix wages but all he can do is write a strongly worded letter to Fair Work Australia which is the body that sets wages. Politicians do not set wages. At best he is misleading voters, at worst he is lying

Morrison has never lived in the real world he speaks utter rubbish AND lies an

 

 

Yeh...nah. I don't find that Mr. Morrison speaks rubbish or lies....quite the opposite. He has managed the country very well through extraordinarily difficult times that no other PM has had to manage. So my vote will go to the Coalition as the alternatives are too appalling to consider.  Albo who looks and sounds like the village idiot gave a sophomoric , pedestrian reply to the budget with no adequate costing for his aged care package...and if he raised taxes to pay for it where is going to get the  qualified nursing staff? (and I know as I have worked in aged care all my adult life as registered specialist medical practitioner.)

 

 

Well, Diogenes, from what you have stated,   ' registered specialist medical practitioner. "  and you say that Albo looks and sounds like a village idiot,  you must be a very uncaring  Doctor.

He --Albo -- has a speech impediment FGS, that does NOT make him an idiot!

No wonder you like Morrison as you have the same personality

 

Diogenes, you must be one of those millionaires Ozetwo spoke about. Only interested in one shelf ya selfish git.

So Slomo Scumo has done a great job, yeah. Talk to the people of Lismore that he refused to meet straight after the floods.  He made sure no one got within cooee of him with his person bodyguard of 80 fully armed police. Then made sure the doors were locked and guarded once inside the meeting chambers. And that's only 1 example of dozens that I know about.

Go ahead and vote for who ever you want as lucky you is in a free country that allows it even if it is controlled by the mega rich via the Liberals and Barnaby Rubbles Nats.

And talking of old Barnaby Rubble The current deputy PM by the way, said he did not “get along” with Morrison. “He is a hypocrite and a liar from my observations and that is over a long time,” “I have never trusted him, and I dislike how earnestly he rearranges the truth to a lie.”

Again that's only 1 example of the character of Scumo who also talks in talks, Fact.

 

 

 

So Diogenes you have worked in aged care all your adult life as registered specialist medical practitioner. So you see no issues with the current system obviously.

Maybe you should wake up and open your eyes and read the Royal Commission report into aged care which the current lot are ignoring for as long as possible.

I suspect you've either been working all your adult life in Nirvana Dream Land or your telling porkies same as your mate Morrison.

It seems that if people can't debate a topic with opposing facts, they attack on a personal basis.

telling people who rent that they should buy a house to solve their  rental problems??  they are all further removed from reality than peter pan 

Yes tisme,  he -- Morrison sure is way out of touch he has NO idea as to how to run the place and is always MIA

Marie Antoinette reportedly said "Let them eat cake", when the peasants couldn't afford bread. She lost her head soon after. That's exactly what the arrogant, smarmy, lying PM said - can't afford rent, then "let them buy a house".

How? What a sanctimonious comment  by this hypocrite, who's about to lose his political head.

As the responses seem to be comparing Albanese and Morrison and aged care is getting a fair run, perhaps the budget reply should be looked at more closely. Albanese has promised to increase wages for aged care workers but forgot to mention that he can only do this in government run facilities. Fair Work Australia sets the wages for the non-government workers. He promised 24/7 registered nurses in every aged care facility but didn't release the costings nor did he state how that would be achieved in private facilities. There was a figure of $2.4B over 4 yeras mentioned in some media but that figure has not been stated publicly by Labor in any speech or press release.

On the same subject of control of policy promises, he has stated that multinationals will pay their fair share of tax and he will stop tax evasion. Well, good luck with that! He cannot dictate to any business how to run their operation. A

No but he can do something about the 34% plus of large corporations etc from paying zero tax through loopholes that should of been closed decades ago. Also all the millionaires that pay zero tax to make sure it's legit and not tucked away offshore or in trusts or hidden elsewhere. Make them pay their fare share the same as any PAYE has to.

If this was done the ATO would generate many 10s and 10's of billions of in extra tax each year.

Thank you Karl Marx, those large corporations which pay zero tax are contributing in other ways. I recall when Swan was treasurer that he waxed lyrical about Twiggy Forrest paying no company tax but forgot that there was payroll tax, royalties and other taxes paid out in excess of $1B by Fortescue. Emma Alberici ripped into him on Lateline. (the link is below). It seems that Labor dusts off the policy threatening legitimate companies with taxation legislation now and then.

It does not matter what side of the fence these pollies live on not many of them would know how to get by with limited cash. They have their hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to get them by. Maybe all of them should be made to live on the money most Australians try to survive on. Morrison should take all politicians out to a refugee camp for a month with each given a pensioner's money to get by on. 

Scummo is as thick as two short jarrah planks.  How stupid can you be to tell people who are struggling with rent to by a house. Does not give a toss about the poor, the sick, the elderly, the disadvantaged. Moot point how good Albanese is, it's a great start that he is not SCummo

Yes I agree Diogenes

Morisson  has managed the country very well through extraordinarily difficult times that no other PM has had to manage.
