Rent It or Be Taxed: Albanese’s New Housing Solution?
During the Productivity Roundtable, the Albanese Government allowed a proposal to be discussed that many consider “monstrous.” The proposal involves forcing homeowners who have spare bedrooms to rent them out to new arrivals - or pay a tax if they don’t. The outcome appears to be that elderly Australians will vacate their homes and move into retirement facilities, thereby freeing up housing for others.
Young couples will also be a target. Those purchasing their first home with extra rooms intended for a family in the future may mean that they will be required to take in boarders or pay a tax—an added financial burden at a time when many are already stretched thin.
During Question Time, I asked Finance Minister Senator Gallagher to rule out this horrible idea. Unfortunately, she declined to do so.
As Margaret Thatcher once said, “Eventually, socialists run out of other people’s money.”
It seems the Albanese Government has taken that as a challenge.

We pay for everything
So for all that cost, Australia has reduced its manmade CO2 emissions by a token 2.8% since 2005 (mainly by closing down industry and shipping production off-shore).
Net Zero is a complete scam.
It serves three purposes;
1. A money-making scam for the climate grifters & spivs.
2. Vote buying for the left side of politics.
3. Wealth transfer to Communist China.
How much damage do we need to inflict upon ourselves until we wake up ?
@toiletpaperaus1 If you invest 12.5% of $250,000 annually (i.e., $31,250 per year) at 8% interest compounded yearly for 40 years, you will end up with approximately $8.10 million.
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.
@ellymelly A friend of mine said Dutton doesn’t seem like a likeable guy, he doesn’t follow politics, young people don’t understand how governments will affect them
Check out Sky News gaslighting People First by referring to us as Independents.
They could find the logo for the cannabis party but couldn’t find the logo for People First!
This Is just further proof, not that It was needed, that the mainstream media see People First as a threat to the establishment parties including One Nation.
And so they should. Despite only having four months to prepare we had the best ground game of any minor party In Queensland with volunteers at more booths than even One Nation.
There is no doubt Australians are looking for a political party that isn’t controlled by the establishment.
PeopleFirst is proud of the fact that we never sold out to the establishment. We know true democracy is built on individuals and grassroot organisations not top down unaccountable institutions.
Regardless of the Senate outcome, I intend to build the party until the next Federal election in 2028.
If you would like to be part of a movement that will put the people first we would love you to join the party at https://t.co/jEFnjtjm92
Over the next 12 months we intend to create State Divisions and Branches that will build a foundation to give people a genuine say in how their country is run.
We will then investigate running candidates at State elections in South Australia and Victoria next year.
Make no mistake, it will require a lot of work, but if we want to protect our country and our children we have to do it.
BREAKING: Anthony Albanese confirms that an elected Labor Government WILL TAX unrealised gains
When your property or shares go up in value, Labor will tax you on that paper gain, even if you didn’t sell to get the gain
Worse, you WON’T be getting a rebate if it falls
CRIMINAL
@AlboMP Great way to suck in the peanuts who went to uni for 4 years for an arts degree that is useless for employment and bare no benefit to the economy while the middle class foot the bill for others laziness and lack of intuition.
@NationFirstAust@LiberalAus Solid thread George, there’s a little too much sentiment around upsetting people. Strong leadership requires touch decisions, if any independent business ran on the framework of the government it wouldn’t work
They’ve called me every name under the sun for saying what most Aussies are thinking. But here’s the truth: everything I’ve fought for, I’ve done with the next generation in mind.
If you’re under 35 and trying to save for a home, I don’t need to tell you how bad things are. You already know. Rents have gone through the roof. Buying a home feels out of reach. And now, your only shot is going cap in hand to your parents, if that’s even an option.
Why? Because the Labor-Greens-Teal alliance has opened the floodgates. In just one year, they let in over one million people. That’s not sustainable. It’s pushed up demand, driven up prices, and squeezed young Australians out of their own housing market.
Meanwhile, you’ve got illegal migrants overstaying visas, working cash-in-hand, taking advantage of services meant for you and your family. And somehow, you're made to feel guilty for wanting a fair go in your own country?
We can’t build a future for young Australians if we’re too busy bending over backwards for everyone else.
That’s why One Nation will:
Deport 75,000 illegal migrants — because immigration laws exist for a reason
Cut immigration by over 570,000 from Labor’s levels — to ease pressure on housing, wages and infrastructure
Don’t let Labor, the Greens or the Teals guilt you into giving away your future.
This is your country too. You deserve the same chance to buy a home, raise a family and build a life, just like your parents did.
And I’ll keep fighting to make sure you get it.
Vote One Nation. Take back your future — and build the one you deserve.
Labor said the Voice was dead. That was a lie.
Just days out from the election, Penny Wong let the truth slip, Labor is still working behind the scenes to bring back Albanese's Voice.
I’ve been warning Australians about this. I saw it coming, and now they’ve all but admitted it. Albanese and the Greens never gave up, they just waited until they thought you’d stopped watching.
They lied about Albanese's divisive Voice. They lied about immigration. They lied about the cost of living. And if we let them get away with it, they’ll do it all again.
This weekend, you have a choice. You can let Labor and the Greens keep pushing their agenda or you can send a clear message.
Put Labor and the Greens last. Vote One Nation.
We need more One Nation voices in Parliament, strong voices who will fight back, expose the lies, and stand up for everyday Australians.
I’ll keep fighting. But I can’t do it alone.
We stopped Albanese’s Voice once. Vote One Nation and together, we’ll defeat it again.
