Image 1 — The Ugly & Uncomfortable Truth of the Aus Economy. We protect Wealth & Assets whilst discouraging Work. AUS is the land of the inheritance. Most younger Aussies are not able to buy property alone so they rely on their parents for help. Why? We punish labour/work while incentivising assets (wealth)

We are not the land of creators, builders and innovators. Most younger Aussies don’t have aspirations of entrepreneurship or small business ownership compared to young Americans.

Most wealth is Australia is highly concentrated in wealth (assets like property and trusts). Not earnt from labour (work/income). We have a two-speed economy where one is taxed heavily (income) and the other wealth (assets) is given tax credits and concessions.

So why are younger Aussies not getting ahead in their own anymore? Incomes taxes are high and incentives are low. Work isn’t valued. Wealth and assets are.

And any attempt to change this model and flop it is met by a barrage of mass media coverage that is negative and critical. Also it’s because that’s how they have their money too.

Unless Australia changes this model, we will see levels of wealth inequality unprecedented in this country. And with this, more divide, more division and more power highly concentrated.

Accurate biohacker peptide user. Vaccines for colds are bad and we can’t trust Chinese made ones too. But peptides from China because no ability or will-power to naturally go into a calorie deficit as no discipline and can’t stop eating!

It is abundantly clear that AUS voters aren’t interested in facts, truth & reason. They’re motivated by being sold a ‘dream.’ False narratives and aspirations. They’re motivated by self-interest & greed. Doing things that actually benefit the majority (like the budget did) isn’t politically popular.

Labor is almost too honest for its own good. Same with the Greens, Teals and Independents.

This is a perception issue. The left needs to change its strategy leading up to the next election.

The Coalition (Liberal Party + the Nationals) are the biggest threat to our country.

One Nation is a grievance party. If Labor reduces immigration then ON will reduce their support greatly.

We have a widespread misinformation & disinformation campaign against Labor’s budget. The amount of propaganda has been astounding. Are so used to it that it doesn’t surprise us ‘left wing voters’ anymore? It’s shocked me & so many of my family/friends are eating it up too… it’s been bad a reaction

According to the OECD’s Taxing Wages 2026 report, Australia’s labour tax wedge is 27.9% versus the OECD average of 35.1%. Australia ranks in the lower-tax group for workers, largely due to less social security taxes compared to Europe. Context matters in tax debates. Why do Aussies complain as much?

The report ranks countries from highest to lowest labour tax wedge. Australia sits below countries like:
Belgium: 52.5%
Germany: 49.3%
France: 47.2%
Sweden: 41.1%
Denmark: 35.8%
UK: 32.4%
Canada: 32.1%

AUS should aim to be more like the high trust Nordic-style economies: strong public healthcare, affordable education, reliable infrastructure & decent wages. Not low-tax systems where ordinary people are left to fend for themselves while wealth concentrates at the top. Higher taxes = better country

Left panel → social democratic / centre-left economic models

Right panel → market liberal / centre-right economic models

Has anyone else heard of people feeling mentally worse after using AI/chatbots for hours daily? I’ve noticed more anxiety, overthinking, paranoia and weird thought patterns in others using them. Curious if others have experienced something similar or if my observations aren’t universal?

Thoughts and opinions?

Post budget reactions by lots of Aussies who don’t even own investment properties themselves (only 20% of Aussies own a IP)

Australia (like all other Western neoliberal countries) have socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor

‘Some’ Aussie Conservatives often say “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, “don’t expect handouts” & “earn your own money”. Yet many fiercely oppose inheritance taxes, despite inheritances being unearned wealth handed down through blood & family, not individual effort or work. They’re hypocrites?

One Nation and Coalition voters constantly preach “personal responsibility”, “no handouts” and “earn your own success”.

Yet many defend inherited wealth being passed down tax free. Getting millions from your parents isn’t meritocracy, it’s privilege based on birth and family.

Are many Aussie conservatives just hypocrites with double standards?
