>BILL Shorten has backflipped on Labor’s commitment to scrap the “Tampon Tax”, declaring the budget cannot afford it.
>Labor had supported a push by former Treasurer Joe Hockey to lobby the states to ditch a GST on tampons and women’s sanitary products.All state treasurers would have to agree for the tax to be dumped.
>Mr Shorten, speaking at a People’s Forum in Brisbane, confirmed Labor would not look to scrap the tax which is worth more than $400 million to the budget over 10 years.
governments can never afford to cut any taxes, because they never run out of things to spend money on. Tax cuts must always be forced through, then the gov must deal with it.

>the limp wristed lefty party is starting to crumble the greens will go apeshit. they'll end up voting for some retard party like the sex party. just watch, greens votes will drop and some retard party will rise.
Carson Evans
What the fuck is up with domestic violence lately? Has there been a 500% increase in it? It's on every channel, every news site, every politicians tongue and apparently they're looking for a new tax to help support victims of domestic violence.
When the fuck did this happen? I feel like I missed 5 years or something. I go to sleep and the next day I have ads on YouTube (mobile) about how domestic violence needs to be stopped from a young age by the federal government. I feel out of touch.
Michael Thomas
But what the fuck is a tampon tax? The gst on tampons? Isn't this shit on every thing? The razors I buy to shave?
Matthew Fisher
Billion Dollar Bill, ey? Is he only now realising that he cannot afford some of the plans of the Labor Party?
Cooper Wilson
>Australian politics
Alexander Nelson
yea, and the violence against women ones, where the kids are like beating the shit out of girls and putting them down. im pretty sure its related to the ''ICE EPIDEMIC''.
anyone else seen the government facebook ads on how to ''safely'' take hard drugs?
Mason Lopez
I can't stand Shorten, literally anyone but him.
Isaac Murphy
yes, its standard gst tax. its on everything you buy. razors, water, food, all other essential things you need to live. but because women ''cant control periods'' demand they get cheap tampons. some guys tried to get GST removed on shit like razors and medication because ''you cant control them things''
Liam Anderson
Yeah I feel like I missed the transition from the ice epidemic leading to every baby born in hospitals going through withdrawal to this.
It reminds me of the bill burr sketch on wife beaters. Who the fuck beats their wife and then sees these ads and stops?
Liam Lopez
The Australian Christians Party created this the other day, it's a pretty good chart to determine where some parties stand on moral issues.
Colton Powell
Anyone watch 7:30? Turnbull literally said; You are interested in me, Lee.
Lmao, and she loved it.
John Reyes
Anyone but him or Di Natale, imo.
Nolan Lopez
It's literally in the legislation that necessities don't have the GST, it's left over from when they needed the Democrats (lol) to support them passing the tax.
It's a dumb feminist political issue but it's consistent with the spirit of the legislation.
Jason Lewis
>go campaigning >every hospital/community/town you visit gets a multi million dollar pledge of funding
i always wondered how we're able to spend so much but plan on cutting down
Gabriel James
>mfw they're backflipping on issues that lefties care about it begins hope the dirty conniving rat-looking fuck gets knocked so far down even the unions don't wanna touch him
wrong ones, no doubt. probs some fucking tiny sect that some retard thought up, uniting church or presbyterian or anglican or something
Carter Ross
>no porn
wonder what their stance on Israel is
Leo Campbell
>greens are the most degenerate. no suprise there
Josiah Jenkins
>uniting church
Absolutely heretical (so are the others though)
Ryan Rivera
ayy. catholic or orthodox, all others seem to be filled with dumb cunts, heretics and girls who definitely don't uphold christian values and morality
James Robinson
So how do we make things work when the people realise they can vote them and their people money?
No way out

>MISOGYNY big word for a woman
Evan Davis
The tampon tax is actually stupid, though, because pads are untaxed. It's like having a tax on blue pens but not black pens.
Gabriel Sullivan
Fred Nile (and the CDP as an extension) is of the old school Uniting Church, he/they are still pretty hardcore conservative.
Landon Thompson
>using black pens
Xavier James
Id fuck her desu, Id be rock hard with her calling me a misogynist pig while I slam her
Adam Richardson
>using the more highly taxed pens
Brody Thomas
...
Brandon Murphy
why should i have to use one that doesnt cater to my preferences? thats like asking me to use a male razor because its cheaper instead of the more expensive female razo
Michael Howard
what periods? dont most women go on birth control?
if you take away GST on anything medical related I want GSTless condoms and tissues
Cooper Myers
>DLP - Catholic
The DLP are looking more based every day to me. I've looked at some of their policies in the past and thought some of their stuff wasn't too bad.
Landon Morgan
If real stats were ever released you will find 90% is shitskins being shitskins
Ryan Bell

OH FUG
John Watson
If they're abolishing the tampon tax why not get rid of the GST on razors?
BTW, next Aus/pol/ thread include a strawpoll plz. I want to see what the majority is on here.
John Young
Too bad their last Senator was a cuck who quit the party and served as an Lefty independent after he got elected for them

Unisex items are usually cheaper than male OR female items, though, razors included.
>I don't do anything legitimately manly therefore I must to prove my masculinity by buying expensive branded hygiene products ^ you
Ethan Wright
Shorten is a fucking joker, somebody needs to get him out on his ass and banned from ever doing politics again.
Andrew Sullivan
They're a pretty good party IMO. I hope they nominate someone for the Senate in my State... they've got until tomorrow to do it.
Ian Rogers
Is straya getting worse? I was planning on moving there, but if it's even more sjw shit than here, then fuck it. I want a world where I can banter freely. What are you becoming straya?

Julian Harris
We're well on our way to becoming an SJW nation. If Labor get in, we will basically be on EU levels of cucked. And they're currently leading in the polls.
Sebastian Lee
I bought one of these at the beginning of the year and I'm still using the same Mach 3 blade
Alexander Thomas
Making one item gst exempt is retarded since once one item is, more and more people will demand for more items to be get exempt. The point of the tax is to cover all goods and services, therefore it should be left on all goods and services
Ethan Ortiz
This is my fetish.
Adrian Collins
Time to get some tampax shares, the shelf price won't drop
Blake Martinez
Fuck. I hate y'all even having a labor party; at least please try to instill some sort of fucking conservative ideals in the people around you
Adam King
Sorry for the Texan grammar, m8. *you all*
Jordan Hill
don't worry mate, all the smart ones here hate labor too
unfortunately our conservative party isnt staying very conservative
Nathan Miller
Fuck this electorate. So many Greeny fucks here too...
Kayden Smith
Don't forget bisexual!
Adam Long
tampons are a luxury
Chase Thomas
cunt is trying way too hard to appeal to young lefties losing all his union/tradie votes lmao
Aaron White
They'll still vote for Labor anyway, or should I say, 'not Liberal'.
Daniel Thomas
I don't know where to vote, I'm pretty right wing but don't trust Turnbull at all
Connor Baker
What is that thing m8?
Lucas Moore

I have already registered to get my ballot.
I'm not lining up with all the normies.

Do they do a sausage sizzle at yours m8?
Dominic Mitchell
>agree with most of mad katters policies >he gives his votes to labor though is there 1 decent fucking cunt in our politics
Aiden Murphy
>he gives his votes to labor What's this meant to mean m8?
(Nice rare Pepe too m8)
Charles Jenkins
maybe if you sell your soul to a certain party, i think ive picked up enough shit here that i could argue better for greens policies than most greens
Matthew Morris
Thankfully labor are too corrupt to have a competent leader. Theyd be a shoe in this election
Carson Butler
I'm sorry m8 but I fail to see the connection to sausage sizzles there.
Noah Brooks
hard to explain but basically all the small shitters (i.e. independents, small parties like his) swing their shit to one of the major parties so that they have better control over the senate and he swung his to labor
Charles Thomas
Well he didn't back Labor in the hung parliament m8.
Leo Garcia
CANT OVERWHELM THE LEYONHJELM
Julian Wright
No he backed the Libs
Adrian Hill
What party is against foreign ownership of Australia?
There is literally no point in having the ADF if the country is run by Chinese.
Matthew Watson
One Nation, Australia First and Katter are probably your best bets there m8.
Grayson Morales
Voting for Ian Goodenough in the lowerhouse and fa͏mily first in the senate t͏bh lads
Evan Campbell
>What the fuck is up with domestic violence lately? nothing, the media is just trying to win awards by forcing politicians to pass legislation. look up the australian bureau of statistics to see that domestic violence is verging on a non-issue.
>When the fuck did this happen? in janurary this year 3 women were murdered by their ex-boyfrinds in a 48hr period. one ex- was a bikie with a violent criminal record, one was just released from a loony-bin and i can't remember the last one, but the media ended up spinning these three guys as representative of your average australian bloke who all australian women live in terror. the media trotted out rosie batty yet again and convinced the Feds to spend another few hundred million dollars on women's shit.
it just more cunts trying to make a buck off the back of australian stupidity and complacency. see: mike baird, david morrison, peta crendlin, waleed ali, pickering, palaszczuk and any other worthless cunt in the media and parliament
Anthony Davis
>Voting for Ian Goodenough Are you sure he is good enough m8?
>fa͏mily first in the senate They look good on paper m8 but I don't trust them. They are a bunch of church money scammers and have some real slimy characters.
Brayden Harris
when do we need to vote?
Samuel Campbell
Ian's goodenough for me m8
am a church moralfag myself so they seem pretty based all around for me t͏bh
Angel Walker
>moore your a pommy cunt arent you.
also fuck goodenough, him and his christian church are taking over WA Libs.
Grayson Reyes
If you're a lib/lab/greens voter, 9th of july
Jonathan Powell
I think the same way but it goes for all of the big parties. I hate Turnbull, Shorten and that Greens cuck
Julian Lee
isnt there a set date, where you just go to the school and do it.
Ryan Hill
yeah 9th of july.
Brayden Hall
>am a church moralfag myself Yes m8 but surely you know the difference between a well-run church serving God and the community, and a big megachurch run by a family of money hungry rip-off merchants who couldn't give two fucks about the bible?
Joseph Scott
nah, about 4 generations ago sure.
he is a pre good clay target shooter and pro guns, making him bro-tier.
went to his church a few times too, seemed pre chill desu.
