NSW slides back to dark days of Joh Bjelke-Petersen

Suzette Meade writes that former Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen justified his authoritarianism, dressed up as “law and order”, to claim that “order” required the silencing of public voices. Now, NSW Premier Chris Minns is doing the same.

Why is income from capital gains on investments taxed at a discounted rate at all*? Income from work is taxed at a certain rate, but income on not-work, on simply possessing a thing while society decides it's worth more than it was when you bought it is taxed at a lesser rate. Why? What's the rationale, even from the perspective of those in favour of it? #AusPol

*Aside from "those making the laws are also the investor class".

New faces in the key shadow cabinet-Ross Greenwood. They don't have the balance of power in either the house or senate. Key? Seriously.

It’s going to be a hoot to watch the shadow treasurer lose his seat at the next election, as the Coalition sidles up to One Nation & the adjacency completes the wrecking of the urban Liberal Party primary vote. #auspol #PrayerRoom

Australia spent $26 billion on 'nature-harming' incentives in a year

The federal government funds $26 billion of incentives each year that may be harmful to the environment and is yet to report on its international commitments, researchers say.
