That was fun! Great panel and quote from Saul Eslake on whether investor tax concessions help people ‘get ahead’: “We need to ask, when people get tax concessions to ‘get ahead’, who are they getting ahead of? Increasingly it will be their own children.” #EverybodysHome #AHC2018 x.com/nationalshelte…

Hello! Amid rising petrol prices, interest rates (soon) and grocery bills, I've written a new book which you can pre-order TODAY called 'Money with Jess: Your Ultimate Guide to Household Budgeting'. It has 300+ money saving hacks. I hope it helps. booktopia.kh4ffx.net/JroqDr

On a day off, trying to catchup on MAFS, but can’t take my eyes of this Orr-some woman absolutely nailing ANZ for failing to verify client general living expenses #bankroyalcommission

I would like a royal commission into the #mafs Dean and Tracey text message scandal. Get Rowena Orr onto this...

Spotted just now in the Sydney CBD...two people labouring to dismantle the Commonwealth Bank brand...Kenneth Hayne and Rowena Orr, perhaps? #bankingroyalcommission #BanksRC

Wow. Just read the attendee instructions for budget lockup...Treasury has quietly axed the free tea and coffee urns and will be charging $4 per coffee and $3.80 per muffin. I’ll need that tax cut, after all... #budget2018 #costofliving #costoflockup #userpays #highwayrobbery

For those of you following the great Coffeegate scandal of Budget lockup 2018, here is the offending paragraph from Treasury... Get set to be slugged $3.25 for water. Fancy pants people (aka AFR staff) can pay 55c more for carbonated bubbles... #Budget2018 #costoflockup #urngate

Yes. THIS. x.com/roud7734/statu…

Hi Treasury! Is it possible to clarify the arrangements for me to make a mid-arvo cup of tea? I can BYO tea bag, if necessary, but will hot water be available? Best wishes and thanking you in advance. #askingtheimportantquestions #Budget2018 #urngate x.com/treasury_au/st…

Just to clarify my thoughts on #urngate ...Treasury would have incurred an upfront capital cost in purchasing the urns. The marginal cost of water is zero. So why not put em out? I fear severe infrastructure bottlenecks re coffee cart. Stay tuned #Budget2018 #newsthatmatters

Guys, I paid $3.60 for a cup of tea in lockup #urngate #Budget2018

I spent lockup making this awesome table for you all, showing how much you’ll save on tax over 7 years, if ScoMo has his way. (PS.we’re at dinner now, hence wine glass reflection...) #Budget2018 #knockingoff #survivedanotherlockup #letsdoitagainnextyear
