Did you get your pack of deliberate misinformation from "Advance Australia" (the rich folk who want to do everything they can to ensure poor people have no power or say) in the mail yet?

It has some pretty scathing imagery of The Australian Greens attending anti-genocide rallies. Ooooooo. If you're intelligent enough it really just looks like a bunch of things that make the greens worth voting for.

Don't bloody fall for it m8.

“Claire ONEIL: 1.2 million homes in five years

The Minister is focused on building more and wants 1.2 million new homes in five years.

“We need to build more #homes at the affordable end of the market – that’s why we want 1.2 million homes built over #FiveYears and assist #FirstHomeBuyers.

Construction capability is very important – we’ve got to build more homes; we need to build our construction sector’s capacity, and one of the most important aspects of that is that we’re training more #tradies.

Fee-free #TAFE is now permanent. Tens of thousands of those have been people #training in #construction.”

There is no mention that I can find on housing from #Labor. The Government Minister for Housing made the above comment on 14th March in the #Melbourne #NeosKosmos.

“Andrew CLENNEL: Alright, joining me live is Shadow #HousingMinister #MichaelSukkar. He is in the marginal Labor seat of #McEwen, just taken part in a press conference with #PeterDutton with this new announcement. Michael Sukkar, thanks for your time. You’re proposing to cut the #InternationalStudent intake from 320,000 to 240,000 – isn’t that along the lines of what the government has been trying to achieve anyway? And you blocked their #StudentCap #legislation.”

“Michael SUKKAR: No, Andrew, what we’ve seen under this government is increased #StudentNumbers. They completely botched their attempt at trying to address this issue because they tried to placate all of the #VestedInterests involved. And that means that we’ve seen more than a million #migrants over two years. Our announcement today, Andrew is part of a suite of measures to help Australians battle this #HousingCrisis.”

DeepSeek view on when the US defaults.

Normally in a stock downturn bonds go up in value. But they are falling, indicating a fundamental change in thinking by the markets.

#auspol #uspol #finance

When Does Debt Become Truly Unsustainable?

Scenario
Risk of Default

S&P 500 drops 30% (normal recession)
Low (Fed intervenes)

S&P 500 drops 50%+ (depression) + yields >6%
High (debt spiral)

Foreigners dump Treasuries + Fed can’t keep yields low
Very High

Dollar collapse (loss of reserve status)
Near-Certain Default
