Labor Budget Backflip on CGT and Capital Gains

This government was elected on a very clear promise: no changes to capital gains tax, no changes to negative gearing. The Prime Minister didn’t say it once; he said it more than 50 times. But now—’We’ve changed our position. We’ve changed our minds.’ This is yet another grievous broken promise, and it’s one among many. […]

Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence

Today I recognise the extraordinary work of the Women’s Legal Service Queensland and wish to commend their powerful community initiative known as the Epic Walk for domestic and family violence. The Epic Walk brings Queenslanders together to walk five kilometres from North Burleigh Surf Club in my electorate to Burleigh Headland in the member for Macpherson’s electorate and back, standing in solidarity with women experiencing domestic and family violence and raising vital support for the free legal services WLSQ provides.

Fuel

Australians have been under enormous pressure every time they pull up to the bowser, and, after months of delay, the Prime Minister has finally acted to halve the fuel tax. But—let’s be clear—this announcement, while welcome, has come far too late and has only done half the job, because cutting the tax means very little if Australians can’t access affordable fuel in the first place. Right now, the real concern is supply. Families, tradies and small businesses don’t just need cheaper fuel; they need certainty that, when they turn up to the servo, the fuel will actually be there. This is where the government is still falling short.

Transcript – Morning Doors, House of Representatives

JOSH MARTIN:
Angie, National Cabinet is meeting today, what are you hoping comes from the meeting?
ANGIE BELL:
Well, we know that the Prime Minister has no plan, there’s no urgency and he’s not showing any leadership on this issue of fuel insecurity in our country. What he needs to do is move the fuel where it’s needed and slash that fuel excise, so that Australians can afford to fill up their cars, and that they can actually access fuel.
