Is superannuation guaranteed?


With Labor introducing changes to superannuation and the LNP promising to repeal those changes, Australians are once again left uncertain about whether they will have enough to retire on. Compounding that issue is the fact that it is now extremely difficult to get a full aged pension. First, let's look at superannuation. For many years … Continue reading Is superannuation guaranteed?

The LNP want to wreck superannuation


Peter Dutton's announcement that he will repeal Labor's superannuation laws if he miraculously becomes Prime Minister is all the proof we need that the LNP should not be in government. The problem is that every government does something similar whenever they gain power, meaning there is no certainty for future retirees about their retirement. This … Continue reading The LNP want to wreck superannuation

Centrelink’s “deserving” and “undeserving” poor


The Robodebt Royal Commission has heard that the former LNP government had a strong view of "deserving" and "undeserving" poor when it came to Centrelink. Exactly what this means is unclear, but it sounds very ominous. It seems to want to create division between those that the government see as worthy, and those they see … Continue reading Centrelink’s “deserving” and “undeserving” poor

Negative income tax would help low income earners


Negative Income Tax is an alternative to the Universal Basic Income, and reverses the direction in which tax is paid for incomes below a certain level. It provides that wage earners above a certain level of income pay tax, while those below that level receive support from the government. As a grossly over-simplified example, the … Continue reading Negative income tax would help low income earners

The safeguard mechanism misses the mark


The safeguard mechanism that Labor are proposing is far from perfect, but it is much better than what the LNP gave us when they first introduced it. The LNP did not properly enforce their mechanism, and it failed to reduce emissions. Now that Labor want to make it better and enforce it, the LNP are … Continue reading The safeguard mechanism misses the mark

We must never again allow a cashless welfare card


Peter Dutton is calling for the reintroduction of the cashless welfare card, blaming it's scrapping on the rise in alcohol-related violence in Alice Springs and Indigenous communities. Dutton is not basing his assertions on facts. He is using a social crisis for political purposes to incite emotions against Aboriginal people. He has singled out the … Continue reading We must never again allow a cashless welfare card
