Will the Albanese Government be a one term Government ?

Defunding of Tafe and shifting apprentices from employers to private 'trainers' tied to labour hire firms is why we have no tradesmen.
Turning the universities into 'businesses' that became dependent on fee-paying foreigners and 'every kiddy gets a prize' degrees.
Turning 'homes' into investments by promoting negatively geared 'investment' properties.
Shall I go on?

 

RUBBISH! Parents are responsible for bringing children up to be decent humans - schools teach SUBJECTS (not the same thing). No teacher has ever taught a kid to swear, 'school refuse' or skive off - that all comes from parents trying to be their kid's 'best friend' (and who came up with that idiotic concept!),

I do agree with the 'not paying' thing - part of the problem with housing is that no one looks to pay down their mortgage; all just hoping that price escalation will magically make them rich...

 

Probably because there's no basis in fact...

 

Donalds antics are probably the worst I have seen in my 61 years.

The guy belongs in a comic book.

 

My Daughter is a primary school teacher. I see first hand what she goes through being an assistant Principal.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have any children? I have often observed responses like this

" Parents are responsible for bringing children up to be decent humans "

have no children.

Just asking not judging at all.

 

Trying to figure out what I gained with a Labor win ? I believe NOTHING.

 

Looking at the bright side - well ok. There is no bright side. Just a less **** side - I’m delighted to see the Greens losing every seat they had, including possibly Melbourne so that total and utter KANT Bandt may be relegated to the dustbin of history where he belongs.

And also likely two Teal clowns losing, including DOCTOR Ryan. That is something to be happy about as well.

 

Unless you’re a public servant or a champagne socialist, you’re right.

 

Im neither. Thank God !

 

No I don't; but why don't you ask your daughter what she has to put up with from parents... I know quite a few teachers who have resigned and everyone of them quoted 'parents' as the major reason...
Do YOU think it's a teacher's responsibility to teach kids basic morals, decency, good language and behaviour? Many people seem to think school is a baby sitting service and now everyone wants the government to fund full time virtually childcare, why not roll the kindies into state schools and be done with it?

 

Saved a couple hundred billion on no nuclear ; plus the $7.5billion in the bank from no 25c petrol discount (although the excise take will be dropping with the petrol price that's dropping completely independently). Hopefully something will get clawed back from the AUKUS scam.
The hoohaah about the 'unrealised gains' tax on super over $3m only affects about 55,000 people so not going to too many tears over that one...

 

Something has to give. Either let us have our gas and stop sending it or start the process of a nuclear plant.

Our energy costs will continue to climb.

I have pet hates that no one will ever tackle.

If I have paid over 3 million in taxes over my years of working , why cant I get a pension because I have a dear car ?

Why do we have luxury tax on cars

Why do I pay so much tax

Why I cannot get a rebate on my private insurance because of what I earn and forced to pay it, whilst paying over 7K on Medicare that I have never used.

I want a government that will serve the taxpayers the middle class.

 

My daughter loves her job, but she has reached breaking point many times.

Yes she always has to deal with parents, many that claim its the schools responsibility.

I personally believe its the parents responsibility but many don't care and they just push it on the teachers.

Not saying its good or bad but I went to catholic schools. Nuns had straps. We were never out of line.

Children's behavior will change if they know they can get away with it. They can be little angels at home but devils at school.

IMO the world has totally changed. Teachers in my days had a lot of respect, today they dont.

 

Energy costs are climbing as much due to higher USAGE as higher per kW/h rates. In fact while the kW/h rates have risen, the biggest increases have actually been in the access (daily or monthly) fixed rates (blame privatisation which has to keep the profits climbing). Nuclear is a chimera for Australia - Duttons big idea was going to add just 4% to capacity.
Pension isn't a RIGHT, it's a safety net. Would $30k really matter to you? You've had the advantage of 15% super tax for a long time to make sure you DIDN'T need the pension...
Blame Howard for the LCT.
Look at what you get for your tax dollar compared to most other countries - few state or local taxes. Pretty good services all round.
Also blame Howard for the private health insurance debacle (it rose overnight by exactly the 30% of the rebate). If you have an accident or serious cancer, you WILL be using Medicare... Look at what you'd pay for insurance in the USA and rejoice...
The government DOES serve the middle class taxpayer - you are way above that and should be glad of it!

 

Exactly, but the biggest change is that once upon a time the parent would back up the teacher if a child needed disciplining... now, the parents all just blame the teachers for picking on their little angel... NO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN.
I went to state schools where the boys could still be caned and yes, mostly all were well behaved.

 

This may be the only post you’ve ever made where I agree 100%.

Your previous one. Shakes head….

 

Don't get me wrong I do truly believe on a Tax front we are much better than other countries like America including things like Medicare and insurances.
Ild just like a few things fixed up like I said and not penalize me because I worked very hard.

 

I have 3 boys, when they play up and we get a call or email from the school I insist they discipline them accordingly. The couple of times we've been called in for a "meeting" I tell them to go even harder with the discipline and they thank me profusely for my stance as most parents get offended if they discipline their cup cakes. Even if I don't totally agree with the teachers stance I never show my kids that. We have friends that teach at a very prestigious Sydney high school and they tell us it is even worse there.

It must be incredibly hard to be a teacher these days, I take my hat off to anyone that does it.

 

DAMN am I dreaming ?

Maybe a refund ?

 

If Albo actually does it you can thank Trump.

 

Why ? What has it got to do with Donald ?

 

Would tank the used exotic car market here.

 

You're as delusional just as Trump what is wrong with you MAGS nuts ?!!!

 

Don’t count your chickens yet

A FTA agreement with Europe (and India, and others) has taken on new importance since the US tariffs were introduced.

It fell over last time partly because of LCT and our reluctance to remove it.

So, logically, Trump introducing tarrifs has suddenly made it more likely that LCT will disappear.

Can’t say I’m surprised that those with severe TDS struggle with this.
