The inequity that exists today is straightforward: every productive worker in the economy is subsidising a public service that cannot be made to perform, cannot be made to shrink & cannot be held accountable.

@GabrielleMaiona The key to helping intergenerational equity is lowering income tax on working-age ppl and keeping public debt under control for future generations. Simple.

@TheKouk @cjoye I am not smart enough to try crystal ball gaze the future, but smart enough not to try either… . If I did, I’d probably be right-wrong about 50-50 of the time.

3/Our hearts and love are with the Jewish community’s friends and families in this most trying time. Australia’s traditional values and culture are tolerance and peace. Everyone who lives here should agree and abide by that ethos.

[John Kehoe @Johnkehoe23]

1/The injustice, tragedy and devastation that occurred at Bondi on Sunday would once have been unimaginable in peaceful Australia. We stand firmly with our Jewish friends in the wake of one of the most horrific attacks in modern Australia’s history.

2/We must call out this despicable anti-Semitism and unequivocably condemn those who support or turn a blind eye to it. Australia should be - and can be once again - better than this anti-Semite cancer that has crept into sections of certain communities.

Australia's 47% top income tax rate fuels the 'negative gearing' obsession.
Pay tax or pay interest with a potential upside? Obvious answer.
Great article @Johnkehoe23 and well done Christian Gillitzer.

Get in losers the fed government is doing a tim tam bailout

[Dr. Nick Coatsworth @nick_coatsworth]

John Kehoe writes incisively and passionately about the flaws in the NDIS. He argues it is having sizeable negative macroeconomic effects on Australia, including a strong association with reduced productivity.

Is the NDIS in its current form is effective or sustainable? Kehoe advances reform based on evidence and outcomes not outputs.

An effective care economy is a productive investment when it frees up carers to participate in the workforce.

None of need be read as callous or ignorant the needs of families on the NDIS.

On the contrary, all Australian families are best served by an NDIS that is successful, evidence based and supported by the taxpayers that fund it.

A $1.6 million, hybrid electric fire truck touted as nation-leading when it was bought has spent close to 84 per cent of its life in the ACT out of service https://t.co/BezUg5t2qN

Separating capital and labour income and taxing at different rates would solve a lot of problems, (including never hearing of 'negative gearing' again!) @Johnkehoe23

Political party discovers that higher tax rates lead to higher tax revenues.

The ACT government’s light rail stage 2A is a link of only 1.7 km.

But it’s causing massive disruption to traffic and business. And has turned the city into an un-navigable pit.

How many years will this go on? And was this accounted for in the cost-benefit analysis?
