Comment on Australian students shun education degrees as fears grow over ‘unprecedented’ teacher shortage

Piss off - it’s absolutely moronic policy. Yes, give teeth to attack multinationals, but tax millionaires, ffs. I’m tired of hearing about new tax loopholes for people who’ve never struggled a day in their lives - corporate or civilian.

Stage 3 is theft.

I agree completely. At some point you have to draw the line. Labor should go all out ad wise, fuck off stage 3 and tell everyone the deal. If we are to lose an election over it then we’re fucked as a country, so much money our country desperately needs that we are pissing into the wind.

Lets be clear; stage 3 will impact me to the tune of $9k a year.

I didn’t get free, or even cheap University.

I didn’t get any student benefits.

I didn’t get any child bonus.

I have collected a total of 4 months of unemployment benefits from Centrelink in my life, when I have worked since I was 15.

Never struggled? Cunt I have had to choose between milk or rice because rent was due and I was earning five tenths of fuck all while working as a student and getting no support.

Stage 3 tax cuts are literally the first fucking break I will get in my working life.

You reckon only “millionaires” who are millionaires by assets not income will benefit. What a joke.

I am a hard working professional and anyone targetting my pocket before multi-national corporations or fuckwit boomers with 6 properties have to pay their share can get fucked.

  This boils down to “fuck you, got mine”.
  
  That money is our clapped out health system. That money is our clapped out education system. That money is rebuilding towns from the next season of bushfires - hell, maybe they’ll work in some climate resistant infrastructure. That money is land management. That money is research for the CSIRO. That money is social housing.
  
  That money is department funding to go after multinationals.
  
  That money is stopping someone else from needing to put up with the bullshit of food scarcity you did.
  
  This isn’t America and thank fuck. If we stop spending, it falls apart and we’ve been putting off maintaining our society for decades now. Grow and stop seeing the bullshit you went through as validation to put others through worse.

    The ladder was pulled up before I got here.
    
    This isn’t “fuck you, got mine” it’s fuck you, I will get mine.
    
    I haven’t built wealth yet and stage 3 will help me do so. Doesn’t help you? I don’t care.

    How you still have faith in a status quo that’s actively fucking us all says so much. The absolute limit of your imagination is to graduate being abused and become the boot - which is sad as hell because no matter what you do you’ll never be rich enough to escape this. You’re too far behind, dude - you can’t afford to pay your way out of what’s coming. Accept it. You’re disposable. They’ll die laughing at you for selling your life away for table scraps.
    
    Putting the boot into other poors isn’t going to stop you from being who/where you are.
    
    Of all of us, you’re going to fall the hardest no matter how hard you run away - and all the supports you’ll need to ease you through ‘failing’ at neoliberalism on a dying planet will have been cannibalised by upstanding, fanatically Thatcherite cunts like yourself.
    
    When your time comes, and I say this earnestly, be sure to do the rest of us a favour and post your plot so we can organise a schedule for pissing on it. You’ll be like the forgotten soldier for contemporary idiots.

  I’ve collected none, therefore my opinion is worth more than yours since I’ve received less assistance.
  
  I am all for the stage 3 tax cuts, because I know that the money I get from the tax cut will be more than offset by the ever increasing costs of living - including the social cost of having more and more people struggling.

    An unfortunate typo which has now been rectified. It’s good to see a mistake and get a chance to fix it isn’t it?
