“These proposals are another step in our march towards a high tax, high debt, low productivity, low growth future,” Costello writes in The Australian Financial Review.
“The young will have a lifetime of these higher taxes. They will never have the same opportunities their parents had – or indeed that members of the Albanese cabinet had – to save, invest and keep a decent share of the proceeds.”

Grok does a decent job of tracking Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Lies… Did it miss any?
Here we go:
Broken promises, backflips and lies by Anthony Albanese since 2022:
• Promised household power bills would be $275 cheaper a year by 2025. Prices rose instead.
• Promised second stage power price cuts after 2025. Pulled the plug on rebates at end of 2025 with no further cuts delivered.
• Promised to keep Coalition’s stage three tax cuts exactly as planned with no changes. Changed and restructured them.
• Promised no changes to superannuation. Introduced new tax on balances over $3 million.
• Promised real wages would grow and rise above pre-election levels. Failed to deliver.
• Promised 450 gigalitres of environmental water under Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Delivered only 27.5 gigalitres.
• Promised 50 urgent care clinics by his own deadline. Missed the deadline.
• Promised new Pacific Engagement Visa by his own deadline. Missed the deadline.
• Promised Makarrata Commission for truth-telling and treaty. Abandoned it after Voice referendum failed.
• Promised no changes to negative gearing. Now pushing or allowing changes.
• Promised long-term immigration planning locked in. Walked away from it.
• Promised 42.5% Commonwealth funding of hospital costs by 2030 with no caps. Walked back and added funding caps.
• Promised to deliver on every single election commitment. Broke multiple as listed.
• Backflipped on removing sexuality, gender identity and sexual variation questions from 2026 census.
• Initially refused royal commission into Bondi terror attack and rising antisemitism. Backflipped and announced one.
• Backflipped on hate speech legislation by splitting the bill to get it through Parliament.
• Lied about falling off the stage during 2025 campaign event. Video showed he tumbled off; he repeatedly denied it and claimed he just stepped back one step and was fine.
• Removed the RMIT ABC election promise tracker amid scrutiny over broken pledges.
• Promised to buy back Darwin Port from Chinese ownership before 2025 election. Still in Chinese hands, promise not delivered.
• Promised a royal commission into the COVID-19 response. Delivered a watered-down inquiry instead and blocked calls for a full royal commission.
• Promised a new era of transparency and open government plus FOI reform so laws couldn’t be flouted. FOI refusal rates nearly doubled to 23 per cent and full disclosures hit historic lows.

Not re-electing this man back this year was one of the greatest mistakes Australians made at the ballot box
No other politician is going to give you the breakdowns in a way that the average Australian could under like Rennick did.
The reason for that is so they can keep lying to you

Australians are taxed to death.
First, they take up to 47% of your income with income tax and the Medicare levy.
Spend what’s left? 10% GST.
Buy a home? Get smashed with stamp duty, then locked into land tax, council rates, water rates, maintenance levies, and a string of compliance fees.
Drive a car? You’re paying fuel excise, rego, tolls, luxury car tax, and stamp duty on insurance.
Try to invest or save? Cop capital gains tax, interest income tax, and dividend tax, even on your own retirement.
Your super gets taxed going in, taxed on earnings, and taxed coming out — and if you die, your beneficiaries might get taxed too.
Then there’s insurance stamp duties, sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco, airport levies, import duties, luxury taxes, and more.
Want to run a small business? Brace for payroll tax, licensing fees, compliance costs, company tax, and ASIC fees.
Even working off the land hits you with water licenses, environmental levies, and carbon offsets. And through it all, inflation quietly erodes the little you're allowed to keep.
By the end, between visible taxes and hidden charges, you're lucky to hold on to 30–40% of your actual earnings, and you'll likely spend 100% of that on your most very basic necessities.
