The "death tax" scare campaign is the laziest dog whistle in the playbook.
Here are the facts straight from the Budget papers and ATO:
Inheritance isn't taxed.
Estates aren't taxed.
Farms are exempt.
Small business CGT concessions are retained in full.
Existing testamentary trusts are grandfathered.
Fixed testamentary trusts can still be set up for new wills at zero extra tax.
The only change: new discretionary testamentary trusts created after 12 May 2026 will pay a 30% minimum on trust income from 2028.
There are about 10,500 testamentary trusts in Australia — 1% of all trusts. And only the discretionary, income-splitting variety set up from now on is caught.
30% is what a nurse on $80k already pays on her top dollar.
The Right isn't defending battlers.
They're defending the tax planning industry that lets wealth split income across grandkids and bucket companies to pay less than wage earners on the same money.
If you want to leave assets to your kids, nothing stops you.
What's stopping is the loophole.
If dwelling prices fell 10% nationally we'd fall back to a level seen in early 2025, a fall of 20% would be early 2023, Dwelling prices rose 48% since 2020. So what is the big deal?
Unless someone can show me that this near 50% gain brought Australia unmatched prosperity that offsets the societal and economic damage that making household formation so difficult for FHBs why does it matter so much. It would actually be the one thing that unambiguously improves housing affordability. It might also discourage negative gearing and make more space for FHB in the market.
The U.S. 30-Year Yield is now 5.03%.
It has only been higher for a handful of days in the last 19 years. And it is now just 8 basis points from a new 19-year high.
Sarah Ferguson humiliates Tim Wilson who can’t stop looking at his talking points.
“When you talk about ‘honesty’, do you need to read that off your notes?”🔥
Total car crash. He can’t even find the truth without a cheat sheet. #auspol
MSM losing it over One Nation’s Farrer win, branding voters ‘racist’ for backing Hanson.
Newsflash: insulting millions of Aussies worried about immigration, housing, cost of living, and more taxes doesn’t win them back — it drives them harder right.
Democracy isn’t ‘shut up and vote mainstream parties.'
It’s listening.
This msm strategy is a 100% self-own.

Tucker Carlson says he told Trump to his face: "Netanyahu hates you. Rupert Murdoch despises you. Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin - they all hate you. The people pushing you into this war want to destroy you. On behalf of Israel."
And Trump's response? "Yeah, I know."

Japan just had the fewest babies born in any year on record. Not since the war. Not since the 1918 flu. Since records began in 1899.
705,809 births, the tenth annual record low in a row, and they're now down 30% in a decade. More than two deaths for every birth. The population shrank by almost 900,000 people in twelve months.
This is what a demographic spiral looks like in real time. Fewer young people now means fewer parents in twenty years, which means fewer births in thirty. Recovery requires reversing a trend that has been running for half a century.
Research from the e61 Institute shows that typical young Australian women now out-earn typical young men on an hourly basis by around 7–8 percent among those working full-time hours.

$42 billion for a battery, but nuclear energy is soooooo expensive it should stay illegal?
You could build around 4 large reactors or 8 small modular reactors from the money spent on Snowy Hydro (based on even the CSIRO's numbers).
One's legal, the other isn't.
