It's pretty sinister and deceitful what the Liberals have done regarding your taxes.
So they're giving people a one off cost of living bonus of $250 for those on government payments, and $420 for low and middle income earners. 1) Oh yay worst negative wage growth and growing inflation in 50 years and we get a one off bribe just before the election that'll go straight into the pockets of landlords. Neat. 2) This is a trick to make your tax return look way better than it is before the Liberals raises taxes.
See the one-off payment is being delivered for the Low and Middle Income Tax Offset, which was a temporary measure that gives between $255 and $1080 to those earning less than $126,000 a year. This is it's last financial year - and it was planned to end just after the election. Meaning that some people are going to get $1500 more than they would otherwise from their tax returns, but then because Morrison and the Coalition are so awful 1) they'll be voted out and Labor will be in power and 2) next year low/middle income earners will be taxed between $255 and $1080 more, and they're going to think "oh no, I was warned about LABOR'S TAXES" and think that this is a tax raise, instead of the Liberals deliberately removing an offset just in time for Labor to get the blame.
It's sneaky. It's insidious. It's Liberals fault your taxes are going up. And then people will think they're up to $1080 worse off under Labor, when really the average worker has actually been $16,000 worse off under Liberals because they've promoted penalty rate cuts, low wages, wage freezes for the public sector, and deliberately made people POORER while inflation gets HIGHER AND HIGHER. It's a deliberate policy decision of the Liberal/National Coalition to keep wages low - even in the face of rising cost of living pressures.
On top of this: they've temporarily cut the fuel excise by 50% (22.1 cents) for 6 months - so end of September, Labor's settled in as government, Parliament has resumed, and BAM! 22.1 CENTS MORE EXPENSIVE PER LITRE ON THE PRICE OF PETROL BECAUSE THAT TOO WAS A TICKING TIME BOMB CREATED BY THE LIBERALS TO SABOTAGE THE START OF LABOR'S FIRST TIME IN 8 YEARS.
The Liberals are conniving rats. They're insincere. They've put in structures in place to make you poorer, then when it's reached crisis point and you're finally sick of them they light a fuse so the house will burn down once Labor has moved in.
You can never trust them. Labor has always been required to fix up the Liberal governments messes - not the other way round - and this is a clear example of how the Liberals would rather ruin your life to improve their election chances in 3 years than help you.

Yesterday, during a dungeon where I played as a Machinist (ranged DPS), our tank disconnected.
I don't think any of us actually knew how to dismiss/reinstate a member of the party, so we uhhh... kept going?
Which meant that I ended up effectively playing the tank, because I could run away from the boss, which meant that I wasn't getting insta-gibbed.
We did finally manage to trigger the "dismiss vote", and then we had a tank and it was such a relief, but it was also not nearly as hilarious as me hauling ass around an arena as a dragon tried to murder me.

President Biden just signed an executive order to protect abortion rights for women including contraceptives. It is a step in the right direction but we mustn’t stop there.

This fall, the extremist Supreme Court is going after LGBTQ rights and same sex marriage. And Clarence Thomas is the gentleman responsible for us going back—well, we will NOT GO BACK, WE WILL FIGHT BACK AGAINST EXTREMIST LAWS THAT ATTACK VOTING RIGHTS AND WHO WE LOVE!!! VOTE BLUE THIS NOVEMBER TO VOTE THOSE BUGGERS OUT OF OFFICE!

In all seriousness, please don't get complacent during these midterms. Honestly, it could be the very last chance to even vote in a fair election ever again. With everything going on in the world now with Fascism on the rise yet again, not just in Europe when it comes to Russia trying to ruin it for everybody or dealing with other parts of the world were nationalism and authoritarianism also extremism is getting worse. If America doesn't get its collective shit together when it comes to voting during this election season...this country can pretty much say goodbye to democracy or any basic freedoms for good. A woman or anyone with a uterus right to make choices on their own bodily anatomy is on the line, gay marriage & LGBTQ rights are on the line, access to birth control is on the line, the right to vote, interracial marriage, or any other rights are truly at risk if America don't get it fucking shit in order to stop this growing fascism & dangerous extremism that's happening now due to QANON and MAGA & the rest of the GOP...then you can basically say hello to Russia 2.0 or have America to be no better than the rest of these other authoritarian regimes.

Thought about the elections' results ?
Tumblr media
The same motherfucking results as 2017. The same extremist bastards. We learn nothing. Or rather THEY learn nothing. Our country is getting fucked, and they dare complaining when they put that upon ourselves

Mid-way point in the six week Federal election campaign with the poll on Saturday 21 May, so here's some corflutes, balcony banners, bin stickers and graf from around the Inner West. Top one features current conservative Prime Minister, Scott "ScoMo" Morrison, leader of the Liberal-National Party coalition being missing in action and on vacation in Hawaii during the 2019/20 Christmas/New Year bushfire disaster. The last one features the leader of the Australian Labor Party, Anthony "Albo" Albanese, who's widely expected to be voted in as Australia's next Prime Minister. His electorate largely encompasses the Inner West, where he was born and has always lived. Good working class boy. More than 110,000 enrolled voters in the district covering 29 sq km. He'd be the first person from the Inner West to ever occupy the top job, so obviously the locals are rooting hard for him. Vote the bastards out! Dulwich Hill, Earlwood, Hurlstone Park, Marrickville, Glebe, Petersham.
