$3m+ superannuation holders have an average household wealth of $19m (med=12m) and <1% would struggle paying new super tax. New ANU research theguardian.com/australia-news…

It’s actually because of market manipulation by Beijing. All of these plants use fossil fuels. Their profitability is changing as state actors undercut Australian producers There’s a unity position on this — bipartisan support for government assistance.

We need a coordinated national response to ensure Australian can sustain critical sovereign capabilities in manufacturing. My take:

Australians on low incomes pay too much tax Our tax debate should center their struggle, and offset lost revenue from permanent tax relief on low income earners by finally taxing capital, unearned wealth, and excess profits fairly Labor party should = party of low income tax

A nice piece on our film Iron Winter – a project I was fortunate to contribute to as a writer and convener. A massive effort by the filmmakers who endured months of isolation in -30c plus conditions to document a dying traditional practice thenewdaily.com.au/life/entertain…

Conservatives want to replicate China’s investments in new coal power here in Australia. We shouldn’t let this emerging right wing embrace of Beijing’s energy policy hold back an Australian economic future underpinned by clean energy.

Government intervention into Australia’s smelting and refined metals sector is likely. But it must be calibrated to ensure bad faith investors aren’t encouraged to buy and then mismanage strategic industrial assets just to seek government bailouts.

We need to tear down the visa wall between the Pacific and Australia. It's holding back the relationship. Recent thoughts for The Lowy Institute lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

Nice to welcome back NSW Premier Chris Minns to the McKell Institute — a powerful address on the state of the housing challenge still gripping the state news.com.au/national/nsw-a…

The Morrison Government were amateurs on the world stage: they blew up relationships, cost Australia jobs, prioritised chest beating over considered diplomacy. Labor has steadied the ship, while preserving Australian integrity

We're calling for the Albanese Government to reform the capital gains tax on housing. For too long, sensible reform to the CGT discount has eluded Australia. The McKell Plan offers a supply-positive, revenue-neutral reform option, which could deliver 130,000 extra homes, while

The federal government has been urged to overhaul the generous tax concessions given to property investors in order to hit its ambitious housing target. #AusPol #9News nine.social/ZBy

HIA’s criticism of our proposal is fatally flawed. HIA notes higher taxes on property could stifle supply, but our plan *lowers* taxes on new properties. Industry needs to come on board with productive tax reform, not instinctively reject any change realestate.com.au/news/proposed-…

The IPA are piggybacking off the national spotlight childcare safety is receiving to wage a culture war against indigenous recognition ceremony in a single childcare centre. Horrific stuff. Could not be more out of touch with mainstream Australia

Why on earth do successive 🇦🇺 govts keep allowing giant multinational companies to reap super profits from the sale of our resources without paying tax?? 🤯 This $$ should be supporting Australians in health, housing, education etc. theguardian.com/australia-news…
