#nostriches and #austriches Just caught up with a mate who assisted his old business at a large trade show in Austin, Texas. His comparison to Australia was that the US vibe was optimistic. Retailers spending at trade shows, good outlook and general consensus that economy was NOT falling apart. What will be the straw the breaks the camel’s back here? - growing homelessness - relentlessly immigration - per capita recession coming up 7 quarters in a row - worst decline of living standards among peers (and non peers!) - small businesses going bust - increasing taxes to fuel handouts and 💩 policies All of those make me 😡 But what’s most alarming is the second level consequences of this:

First edition of the MAD bill dumped. Hopefully this is the beginning of a united stand against government overreach in Australia. I’m sure they’ll repackage it and try again, but for now it’s cactus. image

Since 2016, the government’s share of GDP has surged by nearly a third—funded by our high taxes. But instead of creating real wealth through our abundant natural resources, they inflate a false economy by growing public sector jobs. Where’s the real leadership? Where’s the vision? We are abundant in resources the world craves, yet we lag. What’s really going on? #nostriches #austriches image

#nostriches and #austriches Here’s an Aussie joke for you: Australia's Future Fund was established in 2006 with the purpose of strengthening the country’s long-term financial position. Its primary goal? To ensure the government can meet unfunded superannuation obligations for public sector employees without placing a financial strain on future budgets. The Future Fund is structured to be a patient, long-term investor—designed to maximize returns over time while managing risk, ensuring there’s enough in the pot when liabilities come due. An independent sovereign wealth fund, created to accumulate savings and offset the government's future liabilities, particularly public sector superannuation payments. But today, the Treasurer reckons it’s a good idea to start investing in houses and renewables. So much for independence. Here’s the punchline: 1 in 5 working Australians is employed by the public sector. 66% of all GDP growth since Q2 2018 has been fueled by government spending. Meanwhile, we’re in a per capita recession with peak biz insolvencies hitting just recently. The government created a Future Fund to secure the future, but their actions seem designed to mortgage it. #TheJokeIsOnUs image

#nostriches and #austriches Macquarie Bank has blocked all bitcoin friendly exchanges for SMSF accounts. We cannot purchase bitcoin with our super any more. WTF? Who knows how to get Aussie peso from bank to platform to buy bitcoin? image
