Dave Hughes sprays Albanese Government over budget backflip | Today Show Australia

He is an unexpected voice that's joined the growing chorus of business owners slamming the federal government's latest budget.

He's all fired up.Comedian Dave Hughes going viral online after unleashing on the Prime Minister and Treasurer over changes to the CGT.

Here he is. just solidified the fact we need another election because you didn't have a mandate for it.You didn't have a mandate for it, you lied blatantly, so it's not valid.Look, I'm feeling energised and distracted and erratic, but you know what, guys, I love Back to Australia, you cannot do that.This has cost the whole country so much money already.The housing market has tanked.They've cost every Australian who owns a home probably 15 % of their housing value.

You can't lie about that, Jim and Elba.You can't do that.They all do it, Husey.They all lie.No, no, Sarah.This has never happened before like this, ever.

John Hewson back in the day said, I'm going to bring in a goods and services tax.before an election and Paul Keating went on a scare campaign and Paul Keating got elected as Prime Minister because John Hewson was actually honest about what he was going to do.Do not let them off on this.This is an absolute disgrace and the economy is going through the floor because of it.The people in charge of our country are idiots and they treat our money like they found it in a sack by the river.they've got to spend it before someone finds out.

Honestly, guys, I do not have makeup on.You know why?Because Channel 9 here in Melbourne don't have a makeup artist because times are tough.You know what?The federal government's one trillion dollars in debt.I get on planes and I walk past and they're all in business class because they couldn't care less about being a trillion dollars in debt.

It's not their money.What do they care?Hughie, we're not letting them off the hook.

Don't you worry.

If you watch our show, you know that we don't.

It's crazy.Crazy.I'm with you, mate.I know.When is he coming on your podcast?When are you actually?

I'll come on your podcast, mate.But you know what?When I'm in Sydney, I'll come on your podcast.We're not wasting money, Carl.

Two old guys raging at the machine.

We're allowed to be old guys.My own daughter said, you're just an old white guy.Who cares what you think?I'm like, what?What is happening in this world?The world's against you, Hughsy.

It's against you.It's crazy.

Should we get you started on what's going on in Victoria?

Mate, people bang on about the Westgate Tunnel.and they say, you know, it was meant to be $5 billion and it cost $10 billion because all the workers got three times what you'd get in the private sector and no builders in the private sector can get any workers because they're all in the big builder and I don't blame the workers.If I was offered the money, I'd take it too.People say it's no value.You know what?It is great value.

That's a tunnel that you can get in for $10.$10 and you can have the whole tunnel to yourself, guys.It's true, I've been in it.It's a very lonely place in there.Mate, I'm booking my 60th birthday party.in that tunnel.

It's going to be a quiet night.

Hopefully I get invited.We can make it a good night, you and I.What about the corruption in Victoria?

Look, we're disappointed in Victoria because we don't have any police anymore.So they've shut all the police stations because ofgot to pay everyone in the big build.So they've got to pay everyone in the big build to build infrastructure we don't need.

What are we going to do with this?

We haven't even asked them about Carlton yet.Carlton are winning, I can't even enjoy it.

I wonder if you'd be interested in, I mean I saw the odds for people going into you know representing one nation at the next election and you're right at the top of the list.Would you go into politics my man?

Look, I'm not affiliated with a political party and I don't really want to be, but I just want whoever's in charge to realise it's not their money and stop spending it like drunken sailors.It actually affects everyone because hard -working people have to earn that money.You take half of it off them and then you just blow it on absolute rubbish.It's annoying and, mate, I am being I'm being, people coming up to me on the streets all over Australia, I'm getting off planes and pilots are getting out of the cockpit to say keep going man.We're sick of them stealing our money.

Power to the people.

It's crazy.It's crazy and for the first home buyers grant, you know the first home buyers scheme, there's I heard Albo on the radio yesterday and he goes, oh yeah, they don't have to be citizens because there's some countries that don't allow dual citizenship.So what he said is there's over 50 ,000 people who don't want to give up their citizenship of their home country.He's given them our money to buy houses in Australia.But they want to be able to go home.I'm happy for you, you can stay here and if you want to go home, you can go home.

But you're not getting our money to buy houses here.That's insane.50 ,000 non -citizens have been bidding at auctions against Australians with our money.And he wants to ruin everyone's ambition in this country to get more money.

What are you doing mate?It's crazy.Don't you even think about cutting him off.

I'm not cutting him off.I'm really excited about the next instalment of your... pod together.And you know what, I'm very happy, Hughsy, that at least the Carlton Football Club is bringing a smile to your face.

Thank you Sarah, and I'm happy that you're going to have a baby soon and I hope it all works out and everything's going to be great for you.What I'm going to say to you is just don't go business class Sarah, go economy, because you're going to need that money one day.Are you listening little one?I've got a 17 year old who's 6 foot 7, he wants to go business class.I say no mate, not from your woolly's job, you don't have enough money to go to England's class.

I love your work, love your work.Keep raging brother, keep raging.Everyone's raging.
