  • NSW will give their share straight to property developers.

    Vic will give their share as a negative gearing special rebate.

    Qld will give their share as a first home buyers deposit. It will instantly raise the prices of all real estate by that same amount, ensuring that you can never be a first home buyer.

    Tassie will probably spend theirs on a footy stadium, with a granny flat in the carpark to make sure it qualifies

    ACT gets 1.5 billion of this to go to housing on submarines.

    For some reason, WA won’t get anything.

    And NT is forgotten altogether.





  • I hang around on various sports sites, communities, discussion boards etc.

    One thing that bugs the hell out of me is the insidious insertion of betting into sports discussions. These range from “Put $500 on X to score”, “Need this team to lose for my multi”, to the more subtle “Who is your favourite this season for MVP/Brownlow/DallyM?” Which of course sends a bunch of people to gambling sites to quote the odds, tell you which gambling site gives you the best odds and tell you how much they put on.

    Half the time I can’t tell if they are astroturfing for betting companies.

    Irrespective of the laws, could we take a more proactive stance on discouraging gambling, eg on a community based lemmy server?
