Yes, young Australians will feel the budget changes more acutely. But the risk is that they don’t go far enough | Intifar Chowdhury

Housing is as much a supply problem as it is a tax one. Until more homes are built, changing tax settings will only go so far

The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Peter Costello, now a "respected commentator," laments that Australia hasn't balanced a budget for 15 years.
But who laid the foundation for that structural deficit? Costello and John Howard. They squandered a once-in-a-generation mining boom and the proceeds from selling our public assets.
Instead of a sovereign wealth fund like Norway's to secure our future, they gave it away in permanent tax cuts and middle-class welfare. They sold gold at the bottom of the market. They left us vulnerable to the next crisis.
Now he lectures us on fiscal responsibility? The architect is blaming the builders.

Nine board chairman Peter Costello resigns after reportedly assaulting a journalist

Peter Costello always was a bully, and although not known for being a physically abusive thug, he sure was an entitled piece of shit.
As the Federal Treasurer during the disastrous years of John Howard being Prime Minister, Peter Costello displayed an aptitude for class-based disdain for those he thought were beneath him.
After retiring from politics, he was the recipient of a generous nepo-hire as Chairman of the Board at the Nine Entertainment media empire, where he continued to push his RWNJ agenda.
Good riddance and fuck off, Peter Costello.
