The National Party of Australia dumped its Net Zero policy as Australia is moving too fast, & faster than its peers in the OECD. Well, fossil CO2 emissions in the last 10 years have gone down * -0.5% per year in Australia * -1.4% per year in the OECD Australia is somewhat of a laggard...

A figure of total emissions for coal, oil, gas in Australia, showing coal has gone down consistency since about 2005, with oil and gas bouncing upwards. Total fossil co2 declining slightly in the last decade.

If Labor approves the 50 year extension of the North West Shelf gas export plant, brace yourselves for the spin about how we need it because of a 'shortage' of gas. WA is awash with gas. 90% of it is exported. Approving the NWS extension will be a boon for big gas & a bust for West Australians.

The final act of the last parliament was to gut Australia’s environment laws. The first act from the new government is to trash climate credibility, with Woodside’s huge pollution bomb. The Enviro minister has failed at the first hurdle. Trashing the environment, not protecting it.

Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes. They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year! Yep a $1.18m increase. How much extra tax? $1,528! OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

Assuming it is $3.1 million, with the $80,000 pension payment it becomes $3.18 million. If your balance on June 30, 2026, is greater than $3 million (say $3.1 million) then Division 296 tax will count a balance of $3.18 million in its calculations even if your balance at the start of the year was less than $3 million (in your case $2 million)

One aspect of Division 296 tax where you have a greater than $3 million balance at the end of the year but a balance of less than $3 million at the start is that it will be calculated as if your year started with a $3 million balance.

When determining your super earnings for Division 296 tax purposes you add together your year-end balance with pension payments and then deduct your balance at the start of the year from this. That’s $3.1 million plus $80,000 less $3 million. This will give you total super earnings for Division 296 purposes of $180,000.

Despite the large increase in your fund from $2 million to $3.1 million, your Division 296 liability will be significantly less given it won’t include the increase in your total super below the $3 million threshold. The 15 per cent tax will only apply to the percentage that $180,000 represents of $3.18 million or 5.66 per cent.

While 15 per cent of $180,000 is $27,000, 5.66 per cent of this results in a Division 296 tax liability of $1528.

This assumes there is no change in the proposed tax when – and if – it finally becomes law.
