@brincvc@Ripple ‘Cross-boarder payments, settlement rails, stable coin infrastructure etc..’ aren’t these things covered by Ripple already?
I guess competition within sectors can drive better products and new ideas?

@Vet_X0@ShortTheFOMO It’s been theorised that the XRP Ripple hold could be contributing to the slower adoption from major institutions etc, & at some point Ripple will need to hand over/cut a deal to put a significant amount of tokens in the hands of certain entities..is this pay to play?..thoughts?
Can you believe it? It looks like Chris Bowen crashed his car, and charged the excess to the taxpayer.
That stinks.
He should pay the money back. We shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes. He costs our economy more than enough.
While the rest of the nation gets hit with higher capital gains tax, there’s a special carve-out for foreign investors in renewable energy.
They get to keep the 50% CGT discount at a cost of $425 million to the taxpayer.
Foreign investors already don’t pay Capital Gains tax on shares and intangible assets. Why didn’t Chalmers crack down on them?
The answer of course is that the Labor party, like the Liberal party are controlled by foreign interests.!
But wait there’s more.
Under the capacity investment scheme underwriting agreements, if the actual revenue earned by a project is below the agreed revenue floor, the Australian government will pay the project operator 90 per cent of the revenue shortfall up to the agreed annual cap for 15 yrs. (see comments)
The Labor government will grant “whatever it takes” subsidies to ensure “renewable” energy is a part of the energy grid, no matter the cost to the taxpayer.
But in keeping with the government vibe of transparency the cost of the scheme can’t be disclosed and I quote.
“The CIS is listed in the budget papers as a contingent liability, alongside the Snowy 2.0 hydro electric scheme, which has already blown out in costs by billions.
According to the budget papers, "The Australian government's maximum liability and estimated payments under these (CIS) agreements are not for publication due to commercial sensitivities".
It’s not hard to see why the major parties are struggling. Wasting taxpayers money and refusing to disclose it has to stop.
Further to the two previous posts it’s turns out that an FOI was lodged to the National Health and Medical Research Council over their decision to award Edward Holmes $3.9 million.
The NHMRC unsurprisingly refused to disclose what exactly Holmes is doing with the money.
How typical is this. Governments giving taxpayers money with absolutely no oversight, to people who have deliberately lied and destroyed the Australian people.
It’s no wonder people are abandoning the major parties when their ministers have abused their power so ruthlessly.
