  1. @TruthWarrior1  I personally wouldn't presume to be smarter than the average Australian. Clearly you think you are, again good luck with that.

  2. Along with about 10% of Queenslanders, good luck with that.

  3. @TruthWarrior1  All you have done is denigrate the vast majority of Australians. Once again good luck with that.

  4. Yeah all 7.8% of primary votes in the Queensland election, fantastic result.

  5. Headline inflation is now in RBA target bracket. Underlying inflation is also trending downward. Rents in major cities are reducing. This is all publicly available data from the ABS. I’m not sure what you are on about. What housing crisis? Do you mean the price of housing or the % of homeless people. Because the % of homeless people has been fairly constant for the last 10 years.

  6. And about 10% of Queenslanders agree with you.

  8.  @leeevans2929  What is your idea of a recession? According to an economics textbook the last recession we had was under the Morrison LNP government.

  9. @leeevans2929  Nope look up the data for the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2020. Two quarters in a row of negative growth (that’s a recession). We also had a per capita recession during the LNP government as well. Some people have the memory of a goldfish.

  10.  @leeevans2929  Since Labor took office in 2022, the Australian economy has grown in every quarter. There has been no recession.

  11.  @briananderson7285  Oh for sure you can make up whatever you like, why didn’t you add in a family of pixies or perhaps a unicorn or two, and bingo fantasy recession. Read a economics textbook.

  12. @briananderson7285  Not suggesting population growth doesn't have an economic effect or that you can make up or define a recession however you like, but by any economic textbook or by any economist a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, and that has not (repeat) has not happened under a Albo Labor government. The last official recession was under the Morrison LNP government in 2020. No need for education, because i have a functioning memory. Apart from that job growth remains strong and unemployment low. Yes inflation is still a too high, but it too is showing a trend downwards. The Daily Telegraph today had a large article about how much rents have come down in Sydney in the last six months. Are things perfect? Absolutely not, but blind partisan politics is not the answer.

  13. @ajs4x482  So exactly the same happened under the Morrison government we had a per capita recession, but explain to me how that made you personally poorer. It doesn't you income wasn't effected your assets were not effected, it is just term used to scare people who don't understand economics, and it works. Again explain to me how a per capita recession made you poorer? Now a proper recession when our economy goes backwards is accompanied by job loses and then that does mean people become poorer, but you have just been sucked into a meme by the conservative opposition. Remember when Covid hit and people lost their jobs, that was a recession.

  14. @ajs4x482  Inflation has absolutely nothing to do with GDP per capita. Wage increases have matched inflation so your entire point clearly demonstrates you literally haven't got a clue about what you are commenting on. Sorry don't mean to be rude but you are clueless on this subject. GDP per capita is a measure of national wealth, not individual income or asset growth.

  15. @ajs4x482  100% worse off, what a ludicrously stupid statement. Do you own a home? Any home owner in Australia has seen their personal wealth increase on average 10% over the last three years. You need to go and read a economics textbook.

  16. Yes about 10% vote One Notion and polling shows generally lesser educated as well.

  17. @Martinoconnor-du6lc  No, that’s just factual data from pre and post polling surveys. Few tertiary educated people vote One Notion as there base are almost exclusively the working class.

  18. Oops my bad One Notion received 7.8% of the primary vote in the Queensland election with 67% counted. I was too generous in my estimated support.
