It's a bias that needs a name, but people tend to look at "progress" and simply assume they had a part in it. For the sake of making a long story short, take people like Newton and Einstein as an example, and the progress they have contributed to humanity as a civilization. Great people like that are way below the percentile of all people that have ever lived, but people also enjoy the fruits of said progress, which makes them think they are part of that progress. So here we are, the generally rather stupid human on average being being redefined as per the extremely rare and exceptional ones. In short, IQ=100 is, when it comes down to it, pretty dumb. In fact, most of us have a bias to expect far more from people with IQ=100 than they actually are capable of. This particular bias needs a name.

I thought at first the budget did nothing, but then i read it, AND HOLY MOLEY.

P.S, i may not know everything as im still a uni student but hell some of this shit i thought should have been there.

Ай бұрын

Liberals are right wing in the US too, you're just willfully ignorant.

Love your videos, you provide some much-needed commentary on Australian politics. However, the unabated Labor love does lead to some inaccuracies at times, I believe. This is one of the cases. Warning, the following contains math: The median Australian income is $65k per year. At this income bracket, Aussies received $1,080 per year from 2018 to 2021 and $1,500 in 2022 as a tax rebate under the Low and middle income earner tax offsets. Now, under Labor, they immediately removed this rebate amidst the inflationary and cost of living crisis in 2022 and claimed the largest taxation of Aussies ever in 2023. The stage 3 tax cuts under Labor are better for lower income earners under Labor than liberal’s initial proposal, however, the median Australian still loses out, with only a $1,304 increase in income per year. This is a $196 deficit to the rebates people were getting, not to mention the $3,000 lost in 2023 and 2024 when there was no rebates. (Noting that the median Aussie would have still gotten approx. $550 benefit under the liberal tax cuts resulting in $2050 per year). Therefore, a person on a median Aussie income is straight up at a $3,000 loss under labor by 2024 tax time and at a $696 loss in each subsequent year from 2025 onward. This does all assume that liberals would have kept the Low and middle income earner tax offsets. Disclaimer: this isn’t to tout liberal policy, but more to show that Labor isn’t providing benefits to people like you have displayed in this video, rather, they have made most Australians financially poorer.

No, well, Jordies had major issues with not the average Aussie, but the youth who didn't understand the tax policy, who I doubt are median income.

We have a similar thing happening in Canada. There has been a huge amount of debate and coverage of a tax change to slightly increase taxes on capital gains over 250k per year. This affects almost no one, and the people it does affect are barely going to pay any more than they already are. But if you watched our news you'd think this was a huge deal that was going to bankrupt everyone in the country.

It’s good that the ALP have made these very specific changes that will structurally help over the medium term once the budget takes effect at the end of the month, but ultimately it’s competing with “I feel like I’m worse off than 2 years ago” or “my favourite local business has just had to close down”. Yes these are things were caused by global inflation and the RBA’s local response, but them the breaks of being in charge.

Ай бұрын

From a macroeconomic standpoint, that's actually probably the stupidest thing to do. Sure, while international oil/gas prices are high, we'll be dragging in heaps of tax revenue. But international oil/gas prices aren't static or stable. They're prone to fluctuations, with oil/gas prices being high in some periods and low in other periods. In certain cases when there are global commodity price shocks, international oil/gas prices can fluctuate in the extremes, with previously high prices plummeting to very low prices. If we were overdependent on tax revenue from oil/gas revenue, and global oil/gas prices suddenly dropped, then the amount of tax revenue Australia brings in would plummet and we would face a very several structural deficit in our federal budget. Additionally, Australia's oil and gas industries, alongside it's mining industries, create what economists refer to as 'Dutch Disease'. What Dutch Disease refers to is that when there is high international demand for products produced in one part of an economy, it has the effect of crippling the international competitiveness of other parts of the economy. This Dutch Disease phenomena occurs because of how floating exchange rates work. The way it works is that: 1-High international demand for Australia commodities like iron ore and fossil fuels pushes up demand for the Australian dollar in the foreign exchange market, which is the international market where different currencies are bought and sold. This is because foreigners need access to the Australian dollar to buy Australian products. 2-This higher demand for the Australian dollar in the foreign exchange market leads to the Australian dollar drastically increasing in value compared to other currencies. In economics, this is known as 'currency appreciation'. 3-The Australian dollar increasing in value compared to other currencies means that foreigners have to spend more of their currency to acquire the same amount of Australian dollars. That in turn means that they have to spend more of their currency to buy the same amount of Australian goods (because Australian goods are sold for the Australian dollar). The result is that Australian products basically become more expensive for foreign customers, which reduces their international competitiveness. The industries that cause this Dutch Disease effect, such as the mining industry and fossil fuel industries, remain fine because of the abnormally high international demand for their products. But other Australian industries that have to compete in the international economy, such as our agricultural industry, our manufacturing industry, and many of our service exporting industries such as tourism and education, end up suffering because of this Dutch Disease. The Dutch disease effect damages the export competitiveness of these industries. In the case of manufacturing, the Dutch Disease effect outright crippled the international competitiveness of Australia's manufacturing industry during the early 2000s commodity boom, which is one of the biggest reasons why Australia doesn't have an advanced manufacturing industry. If you want to become over dependent on the oil/gas industries for tax revenue, chances are that you're going to end up exacerbating the Dutch Disease effect in the Australian economy. The oil and gas industries will boom, but many of our other industries will suffer and go into recession. The result will be that in the long term, we'll have an undiversified economy, and a continuing chronic overdependence on mining and fossil fuel extraction, which in turn would exacerbate our economic exposure to future global commodity price shocks.

Labor are bought off by big corporate interests though, look how little they've done for taxing big mining companies, in fact they're complicit in that. Under a federal Labor government in WA we let big mining corporations get away with paying almost nothing, in fact we're basically paying them to extract our resources at this point and clean up their mess. Not to mention how Labor are doing shit all for the housing crisis, yeah they're doing something but it's pennies and won't solve the issue.

I love significant sections of the budget and the Labor changes to the Lib's stage 3 tax cuts are definitely sorely needed, but I hate that Jordies and some others have referred to it as a "tax cut of a generation". While the progressive tax system is defined in absolute numbers instead of being pegged to ratios of median income or at the very least, not changing with CPI each year, then the amount of tax Australians pay with the same real income increases each year. So then the Labor government can trot out another one of these in 10 years and claim to be giving us another tax cut. It's a propaganda machine that keeps giving and politicians waste time adjusting it constantly for votes rather than fixing the problem with a longer term view.

It's... More complicated than that, but still true. A lot of it is a product of violent crimes being less clearly defined and harder to prove. Tax evasion is a concrete, clearly defined crime that can be easily demonstrated without much room for plausibility of denial or severity, intent, etc. This is why Al Capone famously got tried for tax crimes. We have high standards for violent crimes and the mob is good at distancing them from the actual crime itself, so that while it is definitely known that the crime occurred and it is known that the mob was involved, it is hard to prove in a definite and legal and technical sense that al capone was specifically involved in this specific way as defined by x law. And even when they are found guilty, there's still far more room in being able to negotiate lower sentences on those same technicalities. I'm not a lawyer though so, if someone with credentials has something to correct then please do. There's more to it but broadly it's not *just* the government being self-interested, though that absolutely is part of it.

Wouldnt the rich, who support getting tax breaks, want to push the narrative that taxation is theft? So that they can avoid accountability when they dont pay their fare share back to the communities they exploited to get rich. Yknow just sort of makes sense

it is tho. its theft. in the usa they started it with 'Its only top 1% that are going to be taxed.' Now if you make a single dollar it will be taxed. I was told its logical fallacy to think 'give an inch they will take a mile' now I realize its fallacy to assume they will not take the mile bc they always do.

@@tribalismblindsthembutnoty124 in america teachers are taxed more than billionaires. That is a failure of policy, sweden has high af taxes but they get so much more back in return. Do you think billionaires should not give back to society when they have siphoned so much wealth from the average man and destroyed the planet in pursuit of profit? So because poor people could be taxed we shouldnt worry about taxing people who could finance an entire country gotcha Oh wait, youre just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire whos definitely gonna get lucky one day soon right?

@@belly2_me what are you talking about? Care to reread my comment? They started with 'only the 1% will be taxed' and now even the poorest are taxed. You are right that it is a failure of policy. It was a failure for us to allow it at all bc now its all of us that are taxed. Even the guy that made 1$, he had to pay 15c to social security which will be insolvent in three years! Why is it insolvent? Bc huge portions of it are paid out to ssi, which is disability for those under 65. Have you ever met anyone on ssi? How many of those work under the table? I have met at least 50 people on ssi, and about half were doing work for cash. I am no narc, so I don't report ppl, but taxation is theft, taken from those who work and given to those who don't.

I'm all for manufacturing getting Australia to have a more independent supply chain, but if you've checked out how automated manufacturing is these days... it's not going to lead to many jobs.

If only you could see it's not a party problem it's a government problem.

As a nurse in Queensland who actually gives half a shit about the environment, I'm actually scared of the libs getting in. I really hope FJ is wrong and they don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's right, unfortunately. The libs were in when I started working, and it was... not great. At the time, that was just "how it is," but then Labor got in, and the difference they made was just amazing. Genuinely. Proper staffing ratios, negotiation with unions, every ward has its own clinical facilitator to support staff and students instead of two in the entire hospital. And that's just a few of the major improvements I've seen in my work life alone. Are they perfect? No, of course not. But I certainly wouldn't vote for the libs over them.

I want to see Bad Boys Ride or Die, but we definitely won't because we just don't have the spare dollars.

@@MartinOlminkhof I appreciate it's not mutually exclusive, I am just being SUPER specific here as I used to do opinion polling and I don't want a casual reader to think being polled means the poll is more trustworthy. Like, opinion poll manipulation is almost never the organisation just not asking anyone and making it up. Like at least 99% of the time it's not that. Push polling, grouping, secret methodology that fudges the numbers, and sampling bias, are how it's done and you can only really know if they push polled from being polled yourself. All I mean to say is, if you're polled and the questions are sus, then you should be more sceptical of the poll results, but being polled should never make you less sceptical, as it doesn't address any of the real problems with rigging polling.

I agree, we are stuck in a binary party system that we need to break out of. But we are so used to shitting on Labor for not doing their job (which they do a far better job than the libs) and people's immediate mind is to vote for the other party. This is the part of the video I am referencing, people don't really understand that these changes are going to help Australians and since they don't see it, they default to voting for other party (libs in the case). I am not saying you can't criticise the Labor government, I am saying that an uninformed viewer will read this and their mind will default for the other party, that is the social engineering that the media has done over the last couple of decades.

I like the Punter's idea. Have Qatar levels on all gas exports and we could cut taxes for the low threshold, no tax at all. They could afford it. The Government would be so rich, they could abolish tax for all low income workers and still cut taxes and still afford a welfare state, have free Uni, pay the HECS, improve all Gov services, do Government properly, even have high speed rail. If we had Noway level taxes for the rich, including banks, we could do all of this and still be in surplus. We are being ripped off. Other countries are doing better
