Whilst in prison, maybe we can whip them or get them to break rocks. Let's treat them like animals, that will punish them.
The sissy human rights brigade will find something to be faux offended about. Great idea though.

Internet tough-talkers will never stop being funny. Perhaps your BDSM fantasies can be channelled into a more productive space? :lol:

If he does renege on that promise it’d be one of the most sensible things he’s done. Gets minus one and a half cheers for taking so long to make up his mind though.

Victorians Youth Crime System is a FAILURE and a youth re-offending rate of more than 70%, up from 56%.

What a shock when there is no consequence for crime.

Looks like Albo has proposed changes to the stage 3 tax cuts.

I'm in 2 minds about it. I don't mind the changes, certainly benefits the lower and middle earners more but doesn't really do much about bracket creep.

Personally I'd like to see the Tax Free Threshold indexed, have the 37% bracket start higher and get rid of the 45% one completely. The concept of the Government taking 45c from every $ you earn is just fundamentally wrong, even if they can afford it, it's wrong in principle.

I think it's a fair change. Kelly picks up almost what I lose from the original proposal.
Any extra $ is a bonus in my books.

Dutton thinks he is on a winner saying it's a broken promise as more people receive a tax cut. I still get a cut it's just less. I hope Dutton and the NOaltion oppose the tax cuts.

On another note:2021-2022 Financial year, I could claim a lot of things, especially WFH.
2022-2023 Financial year it was a flat rate per hour working from and keeping records of which days I am WFH.

QLD's soft on crime.
It has now emerged that the teen was charged with three armed robbery offences last year, and was on bail when he allegedly killed Vyleen
How could a teen be on bail after three armed robbery offences?
