"CHEAPER MORTGAGES” Albanese was elected with the promise that “Labor has real plans for cheaper mortgages.” If the RBA lifts rates again today, it will be the 5th rate rise this year — and the 16th since ALBANESE was elected. Five RBA rate rises this year would add around $500 a month — or almost $6,000 a year — to repayments on a typical $600,000 mortgage. And since Albanese was elected, repayments on a $600,000 mortgage have increased by about $1,620 a month — or more than $19,000 a year. Australians were promised “cheaper mortgages” by Albanese — instead, mortgage repayments have risen to record highs as a share of household disposable income. Without doubt, the Albanese regime is the most dishonest and hopelessly incompetent in Australian history. FIRE THE LIAR - At the next election - put Labor last.

A $170bn black hole discovered in Labor’s federal budget has sparked serious concern government spending and costs are blowing out by more than previously thought, fuelling inflation and likely triggering the fifth rate hike of the year at Tuesday’s Reserve Bank meeting. As the Commonwealth Bank downgraded its economic growth forecasts on Monday, NSW Premier Chris Minns broke ranks with federal counterparts and urged all political parties against increasing inflationary pressure through big-spending election promises. His warning that “everybody has got a responsibility to tighten their belt and reduce demand in the economy” was echoed by economists, who cautioned current expenditure levels were “repeatedly surprising to the upside” and heaping pressure on the RBA to increase household and business borrowing costs to the highest level in 18 years. As Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese come under increasing pressure to make significant net savings in the next mid year update, Coalition analysis, verified by economists, shows that the budget bottom line over the medium term is far worse off than it would be if the government had banked all of the new savings and extra revenue announced since MYEFO. These include the $150bn National Disability Insurance Scheme saving and $77bn in new tax revenue, as well as other smaller measures. Between the federal government’s mid-year budget update in December last year and this year’s May budget, a total of $350bn in savings have been earmarked over the medium term. However, despite those savings, the improvement in the budget bottom line over the medium term is only expected to be $180bn, leaving a missing $170bn in spending and costs over the medium term without any reference to what they are. “The savings were mostly eaten up. But we don’t know what ate them – frustratingly, it was a mystery money monster,” Mr Richardson said. “At $170bn, why weren’t we told! Two things stand out: that existing policies keep costing more than budgeted, and that Australians aren’t being informed about that. Both of those things worry me.” Mr Richardson said his best guess at how the $170bn black hole had formed was through “existing policies simply ended up costing more”.

It’s amazing how proud some men are to show off their porn addiction in public.

Look at him. That’s a serial rapist who Corrections Victoria, under @VictorianLabor’s guidelines, put in a women’s prison. Once released he went to Sydney and tried to rape another woman. #LaborLast

It’s heartening to see there is a big price to pay for blatantly lying and then claiming it’s because of changed circumstances.
