@TAFEdefender Health & Education (& specifically TAFE) are State responsibilities. Universities are a Federal Government responsibility. As you purport to work in education I would’ve thought you know that.

@TAFEdefender Having seen the healthcare system up close in the past few years... we should be so profoundly grateful that our taxes pay for this and everyone has access to it regardless of income. Its not perfect, but it is a truly remarkable thing.
The "death tax" scare campaign is the laziest dog whistle in the playbook.
Here are the facts straight from the Budget papers and ATO:
Inheritance isn't taxed.
Estates aren't taxed.
Farms are exempt.
Small business CGT concessions are retained in full.
Existing testamentary trusts are grandfathered.
Fixed testamentary trusts can still be set up for new wills at zero extra tax.
The only change: new discretionary testamentary trusts created after 12 May 2026 will pay a 30% minimum on trust income from 2028.
There are about 10,500 testamentary trusts in Australia — 1% of all trusts. And only the discretionary, income-splitting variety set up from now on is caught.
30% is what a nurse on $80k already pays on her top dollar.
The Right isn't defending battlers.
They're defending the tax planning industry that lets wealth split income across grandkids and bucket companies to pay less than wage earners on the same money.
If you want to leave assets to your kids, nothing stops you.
What's stopping is the loophole.
David Pocock tears into Pauline Hanson’s gas plan, says it’s a “red flag" it being announced “at the gas industry conf” while “getting the red carpet” from gas giants who spent millions lobbying against an export tax
“I just want a fair return on the export of our gas”💥 #auspol
David Pocock wants a fair return on our resources. Let’s face it, all natural resources are finite, when they’re gone, they’re gone! We are overly reliant on natural resources so best make income while we can. Tick tock Labor!
