The opposition leader is the latest in a long line of politicians who speak of ‘Australian values’. But it has long been a problematic idea, writes Kate Darian-Smith.
Sussan Ley talks about ‘Australian values’ in assessing migrants. What exactly does that mean?

Our #tax policy is leading to higher inequality.

50% of our wealth holdings are in real estate and 22% in super, and 20% in shares.

All areas with significant tax breaks.

It simply undermines Australia as a stable investment environment and frustrates the credible plan to replace the coal units that are already shutting down,” said our CEO, Jackie Trad, following the Coalition’s decision last week to drop the net zero emissions target from its energy policy. The Australian Energy Market Operator’s 2024 Integrated System Plan projects that more than 90% of Australia’s coal-fired power stations are due to retire by 2035, and market evidence and independent analysis show that the fastest and cheapest option to replace that power is with solar and wind backed by storage and

So, you have a productivity roundtable and then effectively cut funding to the CSIRO that has historically given a 700% rate of return on investment? 😕
