Inflation means more GST going to Tasmania, but everyone pays higher prices. A 25% tax on gas exports could provide enough for Tassie to fund a stadium every three years! @leanneminshull.bsky.social #auspol

Future generations were never going to benefit from negative gearing and the CGT discount in the same way as boomers and Gen X. They were effectively locked out. 📺 Chief Economist Greg Jericho at the Senate Committee on Intergenerational Housing Inequity @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Did you see our billboard truck in Bondi, NSW? 👀 Australia’s great gas giveaway has now reached more than $70 billion. That's revenue the government is estimated to have lost that by failing to implement a 25% gas export tax. ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax ➡️ https://theaus.in/3R8Lh9o

"Together, negative gearing and the 50% capital gains tax discount have really made housing unaffordable." "Depending on what those changes look like in the budget, this will hopefully stop making the problem worse." @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

The changes to the capital gains tax discount don't apply to new build houses, so fearmongering about discouraging new supply is just wrong. "If the old system did encourage new supply, then it's going to continue to encourage new supply." @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

Angus Taylor''s plan to bar migrants from accessing welfare until they become citizens ignores the fact that the vast majority of those people already face up to decades-long waits to access welfare. "It's just another bomb in the culture war." @amyremeikis.bsky.social #auspol

A 25% tax on gas exports wouldn't just raise $17 billion a year to fund essential services. It would mean more Australian gas sold to Australians! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Albanese was asked about a gas tax on SBS, and a few of his answers sounded more like gas company spin than a government making sure Australians get a fair return for their resources! @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Chaco Canyon is a UNESCO Site, a national park, & sacred land for #NewMexico ’s indigenous communities. Somewhat inevitably, Trump’s Bureau of Land Management wants to open 300k+ acres of land around Chaco to oil & gas drilling. They’ve given the public just 7 days to comment — that was 3 days ago.

Affordable housing isn’t about charity. It’s not even about economics. Housing is: - healthcare - education - climate policy - economic policy Housing is everything policy. A home shouldn’t be a privilege. It's something we all need to thrive. Get housing right and everything else gets easier.

What’s deep water solo? Free solo is a type of climbing with no safety ropes. Deep water solo, also called Psycho Bloc, is free soloing over water. That way, falling hurts a little less! In Cairn’s free upcoming summer DLC, On The Trail, you can try it for yourself!
