Australian Politics

This is an important story from The Australian.

The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has launched a preemptive attack on moves to curb investor tax concessions, such as negative gearing and the 50% capital gains tax (CGT) discount.

Thank god, other states are fighting off Victoria disease.

Last week, the ABC reported that within the Albanese government there were two very different approaches to the productivity round table scheduled for later this month.

We’ve gone from avoiding the only productivity question that matters, the impacts of mass immigration on capital shallowing.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are massively subsidised in Australia. The Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption for BEVs costs the federal government more than $500 million in lost tax revenue each year—a figure that will increase alongside the take-up of BEVs.

Honestly, we couldn’t cook a snag at a barbie, these days.

For years, MB has argued that the federal government’s projected budget deficits, expected to last at least a decade, are largely self-inflicted.

Australia is the last redoubt of the globalists.

Economist Ross Gittins from the SMH has pilloried the Productivity Commission’s (PC) proposal to cut Australia’s company tax rate to 20% for all but the largest 500 firms with annual turnovers of $1 billion, alongside introducing a 5% tax on the annual net cash flow of all companies.

The mind control underway in the Australian government today is something to behold.

In July last year, Stage Three tax cuts delivered the average household $2.200 per annum.

Australia currently has the highest share of temporary migrants and international students as a percentage of our population in the advanced world. The latest temporary visa data from the Department of Home Affairs shows that there were a record 2,460,000 temporary migrants in Australia (excluding visitors) in Q2 2025.

By Stephen Saunders  Despite July’s highly aggressive return-visit from UNFCCC bovver-boy Simon Stiell, the Coalition seems unlikely to seriously challenge Labor’s net zero cult.  Albanese Labor enjoys a masochistic relationship with the pro-China United Nations. Following UN open-borders precepts, massive immigration induces 75-80% of our (unnecessary) population growth.

One of the negative side effects of the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA), which took effect in 2005, was that it increased patent and copyright terms, raising the price of drugs and copyrighted products.

In the lead-up to the 2022 federal election, Labor promised to run a smaller immigration policy if elected.

What a sad sack of Labor leaders these two are.

Australian inflation is rapidly becoming a one-trick pony as energy price hikes devour everything in their path.

What is the wokester to do when his great enemy, Trump, tries to end wars?

UN climate chief Simon Stiell jetted into Australia to blame us for the world’s climate woes.

The Albanese government cannot be trusted on immigration.

This is as predictable as it is awful to watch: Australia’s biggest corporate taxpayer, BHP, and the federal government’s productivity adviser are at loggerheads over a proposal to introduce a cash-flow tax on companies, undermining Jim Chalmers’ push to achieve consensus at his economic roundtable.
