It’s barely a few year since this report from ABC 7:30 about ‘Chow Tai Fook’ abc.net.au/news/2022-08-22/sta

So it seems that a Crisafulli Government will be as bad as a Palaszczuk Government when it comes to regulation of Gambling businesses.

Prime Victorian dairy farming land is being bought for tree plantations aimed at producing pulp and earning carbon credits. Buyers include a German company and #GinaRinehart. Concerned locals are calling for a moratorium on tree planting and changes to land use rules to protect food-producing land from disappearing.

"Our second example, the relationship between foreign investment and trade balances, is equally troubling to businesspeople. Suppose that hundreds of multinational companies decide that a country is an ideal manufacturing site and start pouring billions of dollars a year into the country to build new plants. What happens to the country’s trade balance?"

Australia's #housingcrisis is a complex issue . Several factors and policies over decades have contributed to the current state of the housing market, including:

1. Supply and Demand: A growing population, increased immigration numbers, particularly in major cities, has driven up demand for housing. Limited supply, due to zoning laws and other regulations, has exacerbated the issue.

2. Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax Concessions: Policies that allow property investors to deduct losses on rental properties from their taxable income (negative gearing) and concessions on #capitalgains tax have been criticized for inflating property prices. These policies have been in place for many years and have been supported by both major political parties at different times.

3. #ForeignInvestment: Increased foreign investment in Australian property, particularly from Chinese buyers, has also been cited as a factor driving up prices. Policies regulating foreign investment have evolved over time but have often been seen as insufficient.

4. Monetary Policy: Low interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (#RBA ) have made borrowing cheaper, contributing to higher property prices.

5. Government Incentives: Various government incentives, such as first-home buyer grants and other subsidies, while intended to help buyers enter the market, can also contribute to price inflation by increasing demand.

6. Urban Planning: Inefficient urban planning and infrastructure development have limited the availability of affordable housing, particularly in well-connected areas.

If one were to identify a turning point, some analysts point to the late 1990s and early 2000s, during the tenure of Prime Minister #JohnHoward, when policies like the relaxation of capital gains tax in 1999 and the support for #negativegearing were solidified. These policies are often cited as significant contributors to the property investment boom.

However, it is important to recognize that both major political parties in Australia (Liberal and Labor) have had opportunities to address these issues over the years and have made various policy decisions that have contributed to the current situation.

Classic example, one of the two TV newsrooms in Aotearoa was just closed down by its overseas owners, Warner Bros Discovery;

This is what "foreign investment" looks like. If the Overseas Investment Commission had teeth, corporate raiders would never have been allowed to buy our major news media companies, and then downgrade or asset strip them when it's not profitable enough to own them.

The ConversationWith the end of Newshub, the slippery slope just got steeper for NZ journalism and democracyIt’s been 35 years since Aotearoa New Zealand’s first private network brought real competition in the television news market. Yesterday Warner Bros Discovery announced an end to all that.
