May surprise many who shout the loudest on new tax changes

[Ben Davison @Ben_Davison1]

Australia is a low tax country
Lower than the OECD average
Lower than New Zealand
Lower than the UK
Lower than Japan
Lower than France
Lower than Canada
Lower than LUXEMBOURG!!!

If you want to move to Costa Rica or Mexico for lower taxes ok but Switzerland & Korea won’t have you

Australia's number 1 trusted money man and guru tells Australia to calm down and support the budget #budget2026 #auspol #money #finance #barefootinvestor

[Ben Davison @Ben_Davison1]

The barefoot investor thinks that the budget changes don’t impact the VAST majority of people’s current savings & investment plans

As for those it does? They’ll be fine

If this is correct it sends a Very poor message from the coalition

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

The House of Representatives is debating and dividing on important changes to the NDIS. Not a single member of the Coalition has bothered to attend.

[Mark Kenny @markgkenny.bsky.social @markgkenny]

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

Gawd. Sky News is going to go completely BERSERK. Brace, everyone.
