That's why looking for new ways to tax us

Bring on the election

Sooo, rather than using all the paid by me university knowledge & many years of experience to start another business, I would prolly be better off getting a mindless job staring at a meaningless computer screen. Where’s the joy?

The three largest expenses of the Australian federal government in 2024–25 are social security and welfare, health, and education: Social security and welfare: This is expected to account for 36.3% of total expenses. The government is investing in programs such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the Disability Support Pension, and Aged Care Services. Health: This is expected to account for 15.3% of total expenses. Education: This is expected to account for 7.2% of total expenses

DFTUSI (Department For Thinking up Stupid Ideas) is booming.

Be okay Pretty soon It’ll be AI in control. That’ll be fun. 😂

these RED LABOR IDIOTS know they are going to be smashed at the next election,and will continue to spend unwisely,only make it harder for the incoming LNP

Senator Malcolm Roberts, in your state are you aware they have applied to genetically modify mosquitoes?! Going through the OGTR which is supposed to protect us from this. Apparently there will be submissions (everyone do one!) www.isaaa.org/kc/cropbiotechupdate/article/default.asp?ID=21089

Rubbish Mal. They're saving on all the Private rorting spives. Like PwC and Ernst and Young and your other mates hanging around in the Qantas Chairman's Lounge.🐐

My friend unemployed for 2 years go a good job he's 61. Why complain about workers getting jobs ?

He’s a dishonest grub and needs to be held to account..

WATTS IS A COMPLETE MORON.

Scientists create first-of-its-kind 'diamond battery' with lifespan of thousands of years

So now you think public servants should all lose their jobs too as they are ‘unproductive?’

Again: The irony of Roberts accusing anyone else of lying.

Senator Malcolm Roberts WTF au.finance.yahoo.com/news/major-ato-tax-change-for-all-aussie-property-sellers-from-january-1-122...

Nailed it!

How do they get away with it Malcolm ? Wouldn't they be better off working for the dole so it's less expensive for the taxpayers

Agreed. Why can't we put solar panel roofs over the massive amount of carparks throughout the country. Gives people some shade/shelter to park their cars, and provides electricity to the grid................oh, but that would be asking big corporations to actually do some of what they preach to us to do. Just like a-list celebrities coming on TV and telling us we should donate money to various charities, but they themselves don't do it. Hypocrisy is rife global.

Won't happen while we still have Spineless Albo and Bonehead Bowen.

If solar was so good it would be on public housing roofs.

Should ban wind farms too.

100% Australia should do the same.

Absolutely we should put them on car park roofs at shopping centres

Good move, especially as the amount of power per ha is trifling.

Absolutely 💯...these things are an abomination...😡

Senator Malcolm Roberts It doesn't make any sense to dedicate fertile farmland solely to solar power generation when we have so many rooftops and non-agricultural desert areas where it is a no brainer to install. The only effective way it can be installed sensibly on farmland is through agrivoltaics where it can be custom setup to improve crop productivity by providing shade, reduces heat stress, decreases water evaporation in arid areas, and reduces frost damage in crops where that would help to increase yield. The farmer can also make some money through power generation and lowering their energy costs. That is the only context where it makes sense on agricultural land and outside of that they should be applied in other areas.

It's a no brainer..stop this nonsense..car park roofing could be beneficial..n charge your ev while shopping..in the shade

Anyone who thinks that solar does less damage than farming is an idiot.

Solar is a con job

Sounds like basic common sense to me.

I’ll stick with coal

You wont convince dumber Bowen of that. He's hell. bent on destroying Farmland, or just bent!

On roof is much more effective anyways

Chris Bowen are you listening you clown 🤡

sh#t, what a novel idea- protect our farms and food...

Good on you Italia.

Lollobrigida said the scheme does not target agri-voltaic projects, which place solar panels over fields and vineyards to get double use out of the land by producing power during periods of heavy sunlight, while still allowing crops to grow.

Absolutely ban it. Look at the north side of Warwick. Valuable agricultural land utterly wasted on solar panels where they could go in desert / arid areas. The cost of transmission lines hasn’t been honestly represented by Bowen and solar and wind farms are subject to destruction by natural elements and have a very limited lifespan. Australia really has become the stupid country.

And they look shite anyway

Agree

Absolutely. N not just our farmland. All our land. All our land contains national flora and fauna that should not be damaged or hurt by this madness. Even our deserts and lesser known habitats should be protected from bally solar panels and ridiculous turbines and anything else that may damage it.......like fking nuclear waste! Ban it all!

Definitely
