What does Barnaby know that we do not? Does the secret lie in the mysterious fourth quadrant?

Got to love the speaker at #NPC today when responding to a question from Peter Costello sockpuppet told the audience ā€œThat’s what adults doā€ā€¦.. Guess that counts out #PeterDutton #SussenLey #DavidLittleproud #IPA and all the mainstream media shills.

@NewtonMark Their argument really is incredible - literally. Like with the "high income earners have made spending plans based on the planned tax cut"- like, seriously? If you're making $200K+ and a difference of $4K is a serious problem for you, there is something seriously wrong with your financial planning...

Speaking as a higher earner:

If you’re a higher earner and you can’t afford essentials: Sell one of your Audis. Shut the fuck up, you’re an embarrassment.

#Nats Leader #Littleproud shows he’s severely out-of-touch with the average #Aussie worker. 190k is a well beyond what most people will ever earn. #Conservatives just loathe seeing everyone get a boost- as seen when they invoke #ClassWarfare while enacting it themselves. Buy a vowel, mate! #AusPol

ā€˜An income of $190,000 is ā€œnot a lot in this day and ageā€ the Nationals leader, David Littleproud has claimed’

David Littleproud accuses Labor of ā€˜class warfare’ over stage-three tax changes, saying $190,000 is ā€˜not a lot’

Nationals leader says tax cuts were about ā€˜giving everyone a fair go’ and Labor is ā€˜pitting one Australian against the other’
