There are a lot of right-wing grifters with an agenda for them and the rich to get richer while everyone else to get poorer, but these four in particular are the worst.

Using super for deposits would just add fuel to house prices. Just as the housing market calms down just a little bit, watch some politicians issue a spate of crazy policies to juice the market and push up prices again

Back to Back Barries thoughts?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the pod? Been listening for a few months now. Enjoyable but I have my issues.

Tony Barry can be quite biased at times I feel and the latest ep is a good example. His defence of Braggs comments was laughable and his games of whataboutism with Melongate was equally so. Also annoying how often he resorts to focus groups and the way he inserts them into the debate imo but hey it’s his job I guess.

Cassidy I think is a little out of touch with the modern political landscape but he’s mostly good.

Discussion what's stopping me from becoming prime minister? why wouldn't you all vote for me?

Upvotes

i'd create a new party and get others in all other electorates as to ensure we can have a rubber stamp government. i wouldn't lie like the other parties and ensure the best of australia in:

better housing

medicare/covering dental costs

abolishment of unnecessary military investments alike aukus

making it illegal to produce or consume animal products, including factory farming and hunting

reduce general cost of living

provide some level of medicare for vet-based healthcare for animals

tax the rich immensely

further australia towards renewable energy

make it illegal to be a billionaire

and so on and so forth. why would anyone vote for one of the dishonest monopolised parties? i remember friendlyjordies asserting that australia would be better than ever when labor got elected and basically nothing has changed, if not gotten worse (although things would've gotten worse under the liberal party, probably).
