Last estimates I asked the Revenue section of Treasury (i.e. revenue being our taxes) if they were familiar with a number of sections in our tax act that gave tax breaks to foreigners, and if they would abolish them.
High immigration and renewables are causing a cost of living crises. If Albanese was serious about reducing the cost of living crisis he would reduce immigration. Not once have Australians ever asked if they wanted an immigration rate of over 500,000 people.
The Future Fund has major stakes in all of our big banks.
It’s not good enough that they are sitting on their hands and saying nothing about the major banks closing branches. Australians are very angry about the way the major banks are shafting them.
The reason gold bars are given unique serial numbers is so that dirty filthy bankers like the RBA can’t manipulate the gold market in order to drive prices down.
Unlike paper money which can be printed ad nauseam, gold is very difficult to discover and produce. As such it serves as a handbrake on central banks printing too much money.
If Labor was serious about closing the gap between men and women’s salaries they would abolish superannuation all together as it not only favours men but high income earners.
In estimates, I asked the Agricultural Minister why grain farmers have to pay a biosecurity levy when they already pay Income tax and the consumer pays GST/alcohol on beer and Weetbix.
Not only is Digital ID going to be a threat to your privacy, it seems like it’s going to be a dog’s breakfast when it comes to holding authorities to account as to who is responsible for your data.
Gotta love it – when asked if the Banking Code of Practice is legally enforceable the Australian Banking Code of Practice says it is, and says ASIC is responsible for enforcing it.

It is well known that his in his farewell speech the great American president Dwight Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex. Today, of course, it is not just the military-industrial complex that we need to be wary of but

I had the opportunity to meet with community groups and not-for-profits such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service, mayors and councillors from our state regional councils and of course lots of farmers and small business people.
The Australian economy is on the road and moving forward. It reminds me of the Mad Max scene with the V8 Interceptor charging forward. I find it interesting that Labor Senator Ayres should accuse us of closing down the car industry, because back in 1987 it was actually Button and his tariff plans that put it under pressure.
Mr President, I would like to acknowledge my colleagues in the chamber and special guests in the gallery who are here today. I would also like to thank the people of Queensland and the LNP for the faith they have placed in me to represent them over the next six years.
