    Years ago on twitter some random disabled guy called Dutton a “rape apologist”, and got sued to oblivion and utterly destroyed his life and family.

    This guy is a monster.

    Luckily he thinks he can become prime minister without the “woke left city dwellers” (most Australians live in cities), and is pushing a ludicrous nuclear energy agenda that is devoid of financial or environmental logic. So I’m fairly confident Albo will get re-elected.


  • If you’re under 30, full-time job, no looming debts, no kids, then the 6 months can really be 3 months or around $10,000. If you have a partner, you are even more secure. Remember this is a figure derived from very conservative financial commentators who assume you have a linear college and job progression (which is rarely the case). Even a 1 month savings buffer will save you for 90% of the unexpected expenses.

    If you’re in your late 50s, finding a new job will be tough, especially if you are laid off during a recession. In that case a generous buffer beyond 6 months would be good.

    Either way, having savings is a good thing. Yes you will miss out on those “epic Bitcoin gains”, but once you have made an emergency savings buffer, then you can really knuckle down on contributions to retirement.
