Social media has risen up against Fremantle yachtie Steve Gledhill, a retired boat lover who complains Labor’s franking credit policy will put a big dent in his luxury retirement. The 71-year-old caused outrage after he appeared on ABC-TV’s 7.30 to complain, while munching on a Tim Tam aboard his yacht. Mr Gledhill, who emigrated from the UK to Australia in 1986, confessed to having owned eight boats in total, with each successive craft getting “a little bit better and bigger every time”. Under the current franking credit scheme, which Opposition Leader Bill Shorten promises to scrap if he becomes the next Prime Minister, Mr Gledhill earns about $15,000 a year.
The controversial scheme, which has become a political football in the election campaign, means shareholders get a tax deduction for nothing. Dividends distributed to shareholders by companies are deemed “fully franked”, allowing the shareholder to obtain the value of the franking credit as a tax refund. Mr Gledhill told 7.30 Labor’s policy would cost him 30 per cent of the up to $50,000 income he earns on a half million-dollar superannuation account.
Mr Gledhill, who retired 10 years ago, said owning eight boats over a 40-year period did not mean he and his wife Julie were rich. “There’s an assumption that if you own a boat, you’re a wealthy person. In our case, that couldn’t be further from the truth,” he said. “As I said earlier, this is my eighth boat. I’ve gone a little bit bigger and a bit better every time I’ve done it over a 40-year period.”

Fag here. Went on a few dates with Luke Creasy like 10 years ago. Got rejected because he was a pretty boy and I guess he was too good for me. Feeling some decent schadenfruede today.
If a person enjoyed sucking cocks they wouldn’t take offence at being called a cocksucker, and seeing this is an anonymous Mongolian throat singing enthusiasts forum it also not a word that can make other people think less of the person at whom the word is directed
Hetero here. Went on a few dates with SHY about 10 years ago. She would only let me fuck her anally.

This. Even if you went full dipshit most people don't take screenshots until you start gaining notoriety/public profile.
This Labor Minister quitting should be a real rwdpill for any anons Anning on running for Senate or anything like that.
It's not very likely that another Labor minister will be tripped up by it.

>A retiree has been mocked after complaining that Labor would put a dent in his luxury retirement while sitting on his boat.
I have no doubt that this segment was an ABC PR stunt for the Labor party. The retiree pom may very well be a publicist. It's designed to make the voting plebs think Labor are modern day robin hoods and even the typical Jow Forumstard isn't even red pilled enough to realise it's a PR piece.
In reality their policies benefit the established rich and make it harder for young people to gain wealth (and also they'll do nothing to lower housing costs and instead they'll bring in more 3rd worlders)

There was a potato farmer fag on here for a while that was also hiring neets
Easton Reyes
Hey this guy was pretty alright, what do you guys think?
It's agriculture. Farmers, in this particular case Cattle farmers lease land off of people to utilize for grazing. So if you have X amount of acres spare with a dam, they will lease it off of you for their cattle to chill on for 12 months.
Wyatt Anderson
He also bragged about getting $10 000 from the gov to hire a meet for 1 month. Also cried his mum couldn't get DSP while he bragged about his millions and investment houses. Classic example of what is wrong with AUS.
Jayden Lopez
they're already getting assfucked by rentier capitalism on the market side, the more they get assfucked on the production side by literal rentiers like you the more they're going to switch over to factory farming models.

Hey lads, anyone know the "rape jokes" that a labour minister made, which forced him to resign? The media keeps referencing them but never tells me what they were, I'm curious.
why the fuck would anyone fight for feminist controlled, nogunz australia? i'd join islam and subvert if i lived anywhere but here or the czech republic.
I'm moving back in a couple of months, cobbers. Been away for nearly eight years. How bad are things now? Are nigger gangs as bad as they say? How's employment? How much is a steak these days?

>domestic violence leave While it's not law here yet it already is in NZ. Our unions have been pushing it in EBAs for a couple of years now. By forcing the employer to pay for it (not the gov) employers use this as another excuse to avoid a wage raise for workers as they have to set aside the money to cover any potential claims for it. The reason unions do not push for the gov to pay for it is that most union bigwigs have political ambitions and would be reminded of how they cost the gov money any time they cried about needing more money from the taxpayer to cover gov expenses.
