#AusPol2022

Australia is ideally placed to take advantage of the transition to clean energy - our large continent and variety of renewable sources ensures that we can generate far more energy than we need, to export clean energy and energy intensive products to the world.

Leadership and collaboration with the international community are required in order to reduce greenhouse concentrations globally.

We support:

- Setting an 800% renewable energy target, and establish a national grid to distribute renewable energy.
- Build and incentivise clean energy export markets, and disincentivise greenhouse-intensive imports and products.
- Investing in research and development, to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, and make Australia the global leader in clean technology.

@sister_ratched Very true. I am particularly careful, if I am talking Oz to make sure that I am in context. At least we have a Mastodon #auspol and #AusPol2022. I have chosen to be on a US server because I have a strong interest in the tech discussions and #photography so it makes it harder for local stuff. Oh well, you win some and lose some! You may consider moving to a more Oz-centric server. Suggestions at peak.nz/2022/11/11/australian-

@oliverromain Making interest paid by #landlords on their extra houses tax deductible was done in Australia in the 1990s and it significantly accelerated inequality (esp generational inequality) by pushing up property prices. This might sound great in the short term if you're hoarding houses, but comes back to bite everyone in a thousand different ways. It's a dangerous trap. Rates of home ownership have plummeted as more houses end up in fewer hands.
Adam Smith and Karl Marx agree on this one: landlords are hoarding a necessity and are not a legit business.
Want to save rural towns? Campaign to abolish tax breaks on interest for those selling holiday accommodation. And for the principle that #HousingIsAHumanRight that comes before anyone's right to maximise personal or corporate profit.
