@PaulineHansonOz @au_energy_prod Well done Pauline. You presented very professional today and I just think that you have gathered your ideas and developed learning over the years that really now counts with practical ideas that are now needed for Australia. Great to see a plan for revenue growth and plain talk.

Today I announced One Nation's policy to get Australians a better return on the Commonwealth's gas and oil, our natural resources at @au_energy_prod We want more gas extracted and more money given back to Australian's future wealth. One Nation would partner with the oil and gas industry rather than treating it as an enemy, with the aim of increasing exploration, development and production of oil and gas Under the policy, the party would introduce a 30 per cent rebate for genuine oil and gas exploration in Commonwealth waters, while giving the Commonwealth Government the option to take up to a 30 per cent equity stake in any production licence. This would mean real ownership of Australia's natural resources by the Australian people. Rather than acquiring ownership by force, the government would pay its share of costs as a joint venture partner and receive a corresponding share of production. To manage these interests, One Nation would establish a special investment vehicle called the Australian National Wealth Investment Corporation (ANWIC), which would hold the government’s resource stakes and be tasked with making decisions for the greatest benefit of Australians. Government would receive their proportion of oil and gas which could then be directed to the domestic market, used to support critical industries such as fertiliser, energy and smelting, or sold into export markets to help reduce government debt. ANWIC would be overseen by a board made up of people with proven oil and gas industry experience, rather than career bureaucrats, and the Commonwealth would remain a non-operating partner while private-sector experts continued to run projects. The policy would also allow ANWIC to invest in existing projects, but only on commercial, arm’s-length terms, with the government paying its way as in investment rather than taking over projects. In return, the Commonwealth could choose to receive either its share of profits or physical gas supply, giving it the flexibility to support domestic manufacturing when needed or benefit from selling at high international prices. One Nation argues this approach is even better than a domestic gas reservation policy, which can be blunt and inefficient. We also reject proposals for a 25 per cent gas export tax, because this measure is purposely designed to kill the gas industry. Alongside these structural changes, One Nation would cut “red, green and black tape” to speed up project development and set a target of deciding on projects within six months. We would abolish net-zero policies and the Safeguard Mechanism, while also having government help fund gas exploration. In taxation, the party would replace the failed Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) for offshore gas with a simpler Commonwealth royalty based on wellhead values. This new royalty system would apply only to future projects, with existing PRRT arrangements grandfathered. Overall, One Nation's policy is designed to deliver greater returns to Australians, encourage oil and gas production, strengthen fuel security, lower power prices, reduce government debt and give Australians real ownership of our natural resources.

@RussConnor3 @janet_rob3rts And nothing this week from Paul on his suggestion five years ago on various media that Australia should not have a highest marginal tax rate above 36%. Nothing to mention now that 47% is on the spotlight this week with his comrades in Canberra.Sweet incomes for the privileged few

So this old curmudgeon says that anyone who complains about Labor's new taxes is motivated by "naked greed". Not bad coming from a bloke who's been on the public gravy train since 1969. Currently on a lifetime indexed pension in excess of $400,000 p.a Sickening hypocrisy.

@Ausbobsmit @cjoye Honest, hard working Australian workers have been carrying this behaviour for decades, an arrogant life of privilege and pomp. If you keep dumping truck loads of cash off to your socialist mates everyday everywhere somebody good and honest has to fix the other side of the ledger.

Albanese is paid over $11,870 per week. Lives rent free in the lodge with a fully staffed kitchen, and yet, he's still slugging taxpayers for his son Nathan. Nathan was flown to the AO, and Albanese used "family reunion" to fund his flights. In other words, we paid. The taxpayers.

@GeoffWilsonWAM The Australian people will not tolerate this ineptitude for very long as it is un-Australian and is unworkable old policy that has historically already demonstrated ineffective means of growth. Future prosperity and real revenue growth for our economy is what we desperately need

Sad for every small business owner in Australia. All 2.66 million of you

@theoztrucker People need to realise that these type of individuals do not deserve the attention and grandeur that they have convinced so many others in life that they are worthy of. Repetition of compulsive liar activity is pathological if it results in damages to health. Stop appeasing them.

He sits there and denies he said it. I believe that he’s a compulsive liar.

@craigkellyAFEE @GreenTyler27 The smart money to Singapore. Use SMSF as much as you can for now; shares + cash move into but watch Jim he will be after ever bit he can find because what he is doing is not sustainable economically with growing government debt and an overall shrinking revenue base from business

If you are earning less than $45,000 your marginal tax rate is zero for $0 – $18,200 and 16% for $18,201 – $45,000. However if you’ve bought a few shares, or maybe invested in a few antiques - that have had a capital gain, sneaky Albanese now wants to tax that not at your marginal rate, but at 30%. Its a direct attack on low income earners and pensioner.

@MaulingWallSt And NDIS is $52.2 Billion per year of disgraceful non performance via many scam providers who are not properly vetted and which started life as a good idea costing of $2.5 Billion per year. Could save a lot of taxpayer money just cleaning this up and running it properly.Too hard

BREAKING: Trillion Dollar Dim Jim. World's Worst Treasurer. In the budget, he's going to rip billions from Australian families to pay for his economic mismanagement. You reckon cost of living is bad now and inflation is eating your wages before you even open your pay packet. You ain't seen nothing yet!

@OneNationAus Oh,God,Pauline we need you more than ever now this is out of control with Labor. Debt growing to 1.3 Trillion by 2030 and arrogance to never explain expenditure. The inter generational argument is false as families usually help one another out for equity.This strips family equity

Australians can sense it every day: something is wrong. Families are having a hard time paying the bills, putting food on the table, and keeping up with escalating rent and mortgage payments. The statistics keep going higher. 4.8 million people with visas live in Australia right now. That's not just a number; it's stress on jobs, housing, infrastructure, and YOUR cost of living. People in Australia are being pushed to tighten their belts, while decisions are being made that push our country to its limits. Where is the leadership that puts the needs of Australians first? Where are the people who are willing to speak up and say "enough is enough"? This country was based on fairness. People who live here, work hard, pay their taxes, and seek a safe future for their family should all have a fair chance. It's time to ask the hard questions. It's time for common sense. It's time for policies that are in line with what average Australians are going through. Because you should be heard.

@GreenTyler27 Hypocrisy at its finest. One for the true heartland Labor believers that turn a blind eye to the asset accumulation by top Labor brass. Socialism evolved to protect lies and more lies. Just Not acceptable as you cannot achieve financial freedom in such a scrutinised economy.Shame

Under labor Australia is now moving toward being one of the harsher jurisdictions in the developed world for taxing long-term investment gains. Even a Senate dissenting report acknowledged that halving the discount would move Australia “toward the top” internationally and abolishing it would place Australia among the highest-taxed jurisdictions. Removing wealth creation vehicles in Australia will only make more of us dependent on the state.

@Matt_Smith7777 Move cash and shares into SMSF. Oh, but wait, Jim will be chain sawing that next. You cannot plan your life or investments around this type of govt. It is unacceptable and results in global capital avoiding our economy. The inter generational argument is false for most families.

Minimum capital gains tax of 30%. FUCK THESE GUYS.

@ausstockchick I’ve never seen such a contemptuous, weak effort from a government (except NT Labor Party a close second place). You are always made to feel that all of your efforts and rewards for hard work must somehow be fully examined and handed over at day’s end. Not democracy. Just Leave.

I say this with the greatest amount of respect. Retail, mums n dad investors just got burnt. It’s the sad reality. The government workers punting on a couple of stocks and buying a property for their future children. The average Australian just got rug pulled and it’s going to be incredibly difficult to ever be more than average now. Exactly as planned. Today is a sad day. #auspol

@JEChalmers Paul Keating said 5 years ago that top marginal tax rate should not be more than 36%. Labor was handed a surplus in 2007 after Howard/Costello. Always living beyond your means and the worker pays for the inflation you create. Heartland Labor believers your support.Banana republic

Our Budget makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations. We're responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities.

@ausstockchick We are cooked. Feeling poorer? Back to taxation policy of 1996 with Indexation on CGT. A well manage economy creates buffers for global fiscal changes. No chance of that here with lies and more lies and projection of blame. Global capital will not trust this government. Disgust.

WE ARE COOKED! #auspol

@GeoffWilsonWAM Totally agree. Instead of growing the revenue base we have the real quick and easy pathway to equity for the government via taxation. The debt cost to our economy, our economic productivity, stability of growth and financial freedom of many Australians will now be placed at risk.

Albanese’s war on capital is an assault on innovation, aspiration and the Australian dream. Australia must focus on attracting long-term capital into productive assets and not driving it away with a near doubling of the CGT that punishes those who build businesses, employ people and invest for the future. Families, farmers, founders, retirees and young Australians all have skin in this game. Australia needs more investment, more entrepreneurship and more aspiration. Not less.

@PaulineHansonOz Congratulations David and Pauline and Barnaby and to all those who kept the faith. Let’s get back to the Australia we all remember where fairness and opportunity for all prevails above separatist’s greed and control. Let’s all look forward to reshaping our economy through revenue

One Nation’s David Farley has won the seat of Farrer. Tonight, One Nation has secured a victory not just for Farrer but for all of Australia. The people of Farrer have not just spoken, they have roared. The people of Australia will not be forgotten. One Nation will fight for you on the floor of Parliament. We will fight to lower cost of living, end net-zero and stop mass migration. None of the other parties havre represented you and have tried to divide Australia.

Only we believe in running politics as One Nation under one flag for the benefit of Australians, not other countries.

@cjoye Most Men, Women and Children live in a world of reality where they keep their word for the trust of real relationships and know the importance of repaying what is dutifully owed to other persons. This helps to bind values and respect between people and makes for a better society.

The government sector as a share of the total economy is the largest since World War II. It is a greedy python asphyxiating private activity. Why work hard when you can get a government-guaranteed income that is more than a real company will pay you? New Zealanders joke that some of their smartest students move to Australia to earn more than A$200,000 a year holding a stop sign on a worksite. By 2028, Aussie politicians at the federal and state levels will have spent and borrowed $1.0 trillion of extra taxpayer money since 2019. That is the real-world value of their borrowings. The media lets politicians off the hook by relentlessly citing “net debt” figures. Nobody in the real world cares about net debt. They care about actual, or real-world, borrowings: how much you owe. If you have a 45 per cent mortgage against the value of your home, do you tell everyone that you have “negative net debt” because your home is worth more than the mortgage? No. What you worry about is the debt that you have to pay interest on every day. And as rates rise, that interest bill is rocketing through the roof. Do you believe that the NBN is actually worth the $22 billion that the Treasury deducts from gross debt to get the net number? Could Starlink destroy much, if not all, of the NBN’s value? Possibly. The net numbers are so rubbery they are meaningless. The media likes to claim that Victoria’s government owes net debt of $150.9 billion. But in the real world, Victoria’s actual, or gross, government debt is $72.5 billion higher at $223.4 billion. Back in 2019, the Victorian state owed just $63 billion. By 2028, that liability will have ballooned to $270 billion. To put that more bluntly, state politicians will have racked up total debts worth $36,600 per Victorian. The problem is that the people owe much more because the federal politicians in Canberra are just as addicted to the game of spending other people’s money. Yet most folks seem not to think about their pork-barrelling that way. When you start considering how much we each owe care of political largesse, it hammers home the point that they are robbing Peter to pay Paul. On a national scale, Aussies will owe the world $1.8 trillion of public debt by 2028, up from $789 billion in 2019. That is not our personal private debt. It is the debt politicians have borrowed on our behalf. That means every man, woman and child will owe $63,300. It is an incredible sum. Even more remarkably, it was only $4,600 per person as recently as 2007, when all levels of Australian government owed the world just $96 billion. afr.com/markets/equity…

@cjoye Move cash to SMSF. Keep an eye on Chalmers as he will want to restrict SMSF borrowing for Property next up. Really, at every level of wealth creation in this country I have seen for decades govt to keep people from realising their dreams in fair ways - e.g. 28% provisional tax

You and your team start, and work in, a business. You put $250k in to get it to break-even. After a decade of blood, sweat and tears, your business is worth say $5 million. Under Labor's proposal to effectively double capital gains tax by indexing it to inflation, you would see a 96% increase in the tax you would otherwise pay today. You would pay more tax in Australia than if you set up *three* of these $250k businesses in Canada, NZ and the UK, and them sold them for $15m in total. And we were told by the government more than 50 times before the election that they would not touch CGT or negative gearing. Check out this table summary of the change in total CGT paid @GeoffWilsonWAM

@FinancialReview @GeoffWilsonWAM It’s just a boy’s club. They (politicians) all get what they want in life including their beachfront homes. The good and decent people always foot the bill and take the risk for their returns. Selfish greed and arrogance beyond belief with no accountability. Take your money out.

Entrepreneurs, investors and tax experts say the plan to abolish the 50 per cent discount will cause an exodus of talent from Australia. ebx.sh/iFsrkx

@PaulineHansonOz Pauline they could not run a Catholic school tuck shop. I visited Singapore last two weeks and we are really slipping away here in the land of Oz. Their society is much safer from crime, mortgage rates are half of ours, living costs grocery store are less, capital gains tax nil.

While Australians are figuring out how to pay their mortgage, the Government's attention is on brining back *S*S Brides to this country. I don't have the words to explain how angry and disgusted I am that this is happening. I am so concerned about the security risks and the cost to monitor them for the rest of their lives. If they are dual citizens, they should be stripped of their Australian citizenship. I also address the incident in Farrer with Chris Kenny in this segment. Finally, One Nation has eyes on the lower house because we want to bring your voice to Parliament. We'll keep fighting to represent you wherever we can.

@PaulineHansonOz Invest in Angola. A better future than Australia. Australia is losing big time and will fall sharply over the next 15 years.

The RBA has been forced to raise interest rates and punish mortgage holders AGAIN because this Labor Government doesn’t understand basic economics. Their reckless spending and non-stop handouts are driving inflation through the roof. They’re throwing taxpayer dollars around and then act shocked when inflation explodes. Governments are supposed to deliver economic stability, not buy votes. Labor have destroyed productivity, wiped out industries and manufacturing, and flooded the public service with more bureaucrats to keep their poll numbers up. Australians aren’t destitute because they’re lazy, they’re destitute because this Government has killed hope. People are crying out for help and Labor’s answer is another handout, paid for by putting it on the national credit card. We are NOT going to turn this around while they keep buying votes with taxpayer money. Next week’s budget is the moment of truth. If they’ve got any sense left Labor will show real restraint, cut the waste and start reducing both debt AND inflation.
