## Resource

Critics slam Angus Taylors budget reply, accusing it of perpetuating old-school culture wars and unfairly targeting wealthier individuals and older Australians. The opposition risks irrelevance if they continue to oppose popular reforms, while voters demand genuine fairness over grievance politics. Taylors migration cuts face backlash, with critics arguing they unfairly punish permanent residents who contribute to the economy. Retirees also feel the impact, with cuts to health rebates pushing them onto public lists and discouraging property investment. On energy, the Coalitions nuclear push is criticized as outdated, while tax changes aimed at hitting trusts used by the rich are praised for leveling the field against wage earners.
