Media Release: One Nation will reverse Dr Chalmers’ budget experiments One Nation will fix Dr Jim Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments by reversing his capital gains tax and trust changes. One Nation will also protect negative gearing for up to two investment properties and vows to fight any plan by the Treasurer to impose death taxes and taxes on the family home. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Australians were paying for a Treasurer who had no idea what he was doing and the Albanese Labor government who just cannot stop spending and driving up inflation. “Dr Jim Chalmers is experimenting on the Australian economy, and everyday Australians are his guinea pigs.” Senator Pauline Hanson said. “He’s playing with your home, your rent, your business and your savings. When his experiments fail, Australians will pay dearly. “He has smashed business confidence, cut off business investment and helped send the property market into free fall. “Already, more than 1,100 households who bought through Labor’s expanded five per cent deposit scheme are now estimated to owe more than their homes are worth. “Labor encouraged them into the market, then pulled the rug out from under them. “They botched the ATO credit card ban and lied about their involvement. They were forced to back down on their widow tax. Now accountants warn Labor’s trust changes could cost Australians billions in unnecessary advice and restructuring. “Labor couldn’t run a corner shop. But they know how to send one broke. “One Nation will restore the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount and scrap Labor’s proposed 30 per cent minimum tax on trusts. “The status quo of allowing unlimited taxpayer concessions for property tycoons was not working for Australians. The Liberal plan to back the broken model protecting property moguls makes no sense. “One Nation would continue to allow Australians to negatively gear up to two investment properties. “Anthony Albanese has pulled the ladder up behind him on young people trying to break into the property market, protecting tax concessions for existing properties. This includes the Prime Minister’s own ocean view clifftop house in Copacabana, the hundreds of properties held by his own cabinet and the thousands of properties held by property tycoons. “The Labor government must answer whether members of cabinet who benefited from grandfathering negative gearing concessions recused themselves from voting on the measures given their conflict of interest. “Australians should be able to work hard, invest and get ahead. For many young Australians, an investment property was one way they could get a foot into the property market. “One Nation will end this disastrous experiment and reverse Chalmers’ destructive budget experiments. “And we will draw a line around the family home and stop any plans for Labor’s death taxes. “It’s not enough that you already work several days a week to pay for Labor’s uncontrolled spending. Because Labor cannot control their own spending, they will keep coming back to shake you down for more. “My warning is that your family home, your super, and what you leave your children will be in the firing line next. “Labor broke its promises on negative gearing and capital gains tax. Why would Australians trust anything they say? “One Nation will never impose a death tax. We will never impose a tax on the family home. “You should not have to spend your life paying for Labor’s spending addiction, then have them send your children the final bill.”

Labor’s Digital Duty of Care censorship bill can’t be fixed. Here’s One Nation’s chief of staff explaining why.

Nothing can fix Labor’s censorship bill. They’re losing the debate so now they want to change the rules.

Albanese doesn’t like what Australians are saying about him online. From his cringeworthy social media videos to his government’s lies. Instead of answering his critics, he wants the power to shut them down. It’s censorship, straight from the playbook of China, Russia and Iran. He even wants to create 'sock puppets' to spread government propaganda. No amount of tinkering or deal-making with the Greens can disguise the threat this bill poses to free speech. The government should scrap this bill.

At the UN, Anthony Albanese linked social media algorithms, misinformation, political extremism and his social media crackdown to the rise of parties like One Nation. He claimed: "I didn't link the two." What a joke. The transcript exists. The video exists. Australians can see exactly what he said. The problem isn't misinformation. The problem is he got caught saying the censorship plans out loud.

Whoops! Prime Minister Albanese has accidentally exposed Labor’s real censorship agenda. He has now confirmed that the new social media “Digital Duty of Care” scheme is nothing more than a back-door attempt to resurrect Labor’s rejected Misinformation and Disinformation Bill, while boasting about it overseas to his elite globalist friends. That’s despite his own Minister for Travel Expenses and Grand Final Rorts, Anika Wells, who also doubles as Labor’s Minister for Censorship, assuring Australians just two weeks ago that it “isn’t about misinformation”. Australians are supposed to believe one story at home while Labor tells a completely different story overseas. In his own words, Albanese admits these powers are being sold under the banner of “child safety” today, while laying the groundwork for much broader controls on speech and public debate tomorrow. If there was ever any doubt that this legislation is a Trojan horse, the Prime Minister has just all but removed it. Most revealing of all, Albanese has explicitly linked the need for new censorship powers to the rise of One Nation, declaring that “People are moving away from the centre and more and more to the extremes”. In other words, Australians are abandoning Labor in growing numbers, rejecting the political establishment, and Labor's response is not to listen to them, but to seek new powers to police online debate and suppress criticism. This is what governments do when they are losing the argument. They stop defending their record and start looking for ways to control the conversation. The truth is Labor cannot tolerate Australians questioning its failures on the cost of living, housing, energy prices, migration and government waste. Instead of fixing the problems it created, it wants new powers to manage what Australians can see, hear and say online. There appears to be no limit to how far this desperate Labor Government will go to protect its grip on power. Albanese should scrap this censorship scheme immediately, stop grandstanding overseas, and get back home to deal with the crises Australians are living through every day.

The attacks from Chalmers and Albanese on One Nation have become increasingly desperate. Yesterday they crossed a line. No matter how worried Jim and Albanese are about losing their jobs, telling Australians that their democratically elected opponents are “dangerous” and a “threat to our country” invites people to treat them as a threat. Words have consequences. That is how political violence is incited. The murder of Ann Widdecombe in Britain should be warning enough about the dangers of poisonous political rhetoric. Anthony Albanese says we need to turn down the heat and violent rhetoric in our political discourse. Meanwhile, he and his Treasurer are pouring petrol all over it. Australians are entitled to vote for One Nation without being told by the Treasurer and the Prime Minister that their democratic choice is a danger to the nation. The real danger is that Jim and Albanese's incompetent economic management will continue to push your rent, your mortgage and your bills even higher. The real danger to Jim and Albanese is that the people of Australia are coming for their government… at the ballot box.
