  1. Just 1% of Australians get over half the benefit from the capital gains tax discount.
    The top 10% get 83% of the CGT concession and 37% of negative gearing benefits.
    These aren't "middle class" tax breaks – they're housing speculation subsidies for the wealthy.
    The 2026 budget finally takes them on.

  6. Having taxed the rich, let's say, how much trust do we have in our govt policies to administer that money with the kind of wisdom and compassion we want to see in the world?

  7. @PeterLG Ah yes, can’t possibly ask gas giants to pay a fair share. That would be “risky”.
    Much safer to keep profits flowing offshore and, what, start trimming things like the NDIS instead?

  8. Energy giants are pouring millions into advertising campaigns to block a proposed gas export tax, while Australians are left dealing with higher energy bills and cost of living pressure.
    There always seems to be endless funding for lobbying and spin, but resistance when asked to pay a fair return on public resources.
    As the inquiry hears evidence, critics argue the system is tilted heavily towards multinational profits over national interest.

  9. Gina Rinehart suddenly deciding taxes are terrible when they touch gas profits is peak billionaire logic. If windfall taxes are “unfair,” maybe the real issue is letting multinational fossil fuel giants pocket our natural wealth while everyone else cops the costs. Tax the windfall, fund public services, and stop pretending “energy security” means corporate security.

    The AFR can bang the drum against a gas windfall tax all it likes, but it’s worth remembering its parent company has big shareholders who may benefit from mining and resource profits. That doesn’t prove the argument is wrong, but it does make the billionaire panic look a lot less convincing.
