The use of “off of” implies the existence of “on of”.

Corollary: everybody who uses “off of” must also use “on of”.

I don’t make the rules.

Shame on Josh Burns for thinking that Peter Dutton and James Paterson have a shred of decency or humanity between them. Lesson learned, I trust.

And it’s ironic that Peter Dutton claims that standing in front of anything other than the Australian flag alone fosters disunity when disunity is all that Peter Dutton knows. I guess on second thoughts, he should know … 🤔

After already wasting nine years in government failing to act on climate change, Dutton wants to add another 15 years of delay with his dishonest nuclear fever dream. Australia, and the world, cannot afford a LNP federal government. #auspol

“Better economic managers” … #pffft, the big lie. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-09/nuclear-power-plant-twice-as-costly-as-renewables/104691114?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other

So, once again, partisan misinformation leads the way with a misleading, biased, and uncosted narrative on nuclear energy from Dutton capturing a goodly proportion of the population. 🙄

Dutton laid bare. And by a former Liberal leader no less.

Dutton does not care about the future prosperity of all Australians. He is focused on a very, very narrow band of boosters.

“O’Brien dismissed the report’s criticisms of nuclear energy, saying the Coalition had done “far more methodical and comprehensive” work than the three universities.”

“In the three months to September last year, Dutton incurred $809,587.56 in incidentals. It is incredible how much it costs to do nothing. Almost $200,000 was spent on private planes and taxis. Part of this is the expense of getting to places where there are no journalists.”

The #coalition continues to push two of the biggest lies in #auspol

1. That they’re serious about #climatechange; and

2. That they’re “better economic managers”.

Both demonstrably false.

I hope Australian Labor are going to enjoy minority government, at best, at the next federal election.

Captured, unlike failed CCS. 🙄

So, the 86,000 people affected by the QANTAS action get to divvy up $20m, while the federal government trousers $100m all for itself.

Okay, got it. 🤔 #auspol

“It seems the major political parties simply will not let go of the idea of demand-side fixes, despite the overwhelming view among economists that they only serve to increase prices.

The Coalition’s current idea is to allow would-be homebuyers to dip into their superannuation, which would not only push up home prices but also drain the future retirement incomes of young homebuyers.

The solutions are not simple. Cutting negative gearing and the CGT would not be a panacea for housing affordability. By Grattan’s estimates, it would see prices rise about 2 per cent less than they otherwise would have. According to the analysis, however, it would see speculators sell homes and owner-occupiers buy.”
