6. Make energy policy about affordability, not political ideology.
Coal, gas, nuclear, solar, wind and storage should be assessed on reliability, total system cost and environmental impact.
Australia doesn’t need to abandon the energy transition. It needs a transition that actually works.
We are one of the most resource-rich countries on Earth.
There is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t be working towards affordable, reliable energy and a higher standard of living for ordinary Australians.
That’s where I’d start. What would you change?
5. Cut unnecessary government spending.
Review major spending programs, eliminate duplication, tighten procurement and redirect genuine savings towards essential infrastructure and cost-of-living priorities.
Every dollar of taxpayer money should be justified. Australians DO NOT care to give Afghanistan 300 million dollars.
4. Make better use of our natural resources.
Australia exports billions in raw materials.
I’d review resource royalty and tax arrangements, encourage commercially viable domestic processing and direct a greater share of resource revenue into long-term national investment.
Not every resource should be processed here, but we should capture more value where it makes economic sense.
3. Invest in nuclear energy for the long term.
Australia has significant uranium resources but prohibits nuclear power generation.
I’d remove the federal prohibition and commission independent assessments of nuclear power, including costs, construction timelines and suitable locations.
Nuclear isn’t an overnight solution, but we should at least be allowed to seriously consider it.
2. Stop shutting down reliable power without replacements.
I’m not against renewable energy. But closing coal-fired power stations before sufficient replacement generation, storage and transmission are operational is asking for trouble.
Keep existing plants operating safely where commercially and technically viable until replacements are ready.
1. Put Australia’s energy security first.
We export enormous amounts of coal and natural gas, yet Australians are struggling with electricity bills.
I’d push for stronger domestic gas supply arrangements, ensuring Australian households and businesses have access to reliable, competitively priced energy before additional export commitments are made.
Australia is becoming a surveillance state for your own money.
Want to move crypto between wallets? Exchanges are increasingly required to collect information about who’s sending and receiving it.
Everyday Australians face more financial scrutiny, more compliance and less privacy.
Meanwhile, we’re told this is all for our own protection.
At what point did financial privacy become something Australians have to justify?
Your money, your assets and your financial freedom is apparently not yours anymore.
To everyone in the US and Europe what would you do in this position ?
The new Australian dream:
Live with 4 other housemates.
Work 40+ hours a week.
Pay up to 45% income tax.
Spend half your pay on rent.
Give up on owning a home.
Have nothing left to save.
Be grateful for the privilege to live in the “lucky country”.
And if you complain? You’re entitled, selfish and need to stop buying coffees.
Apparently this is what progress looks like in modern Australia.
Lower your expectations, pay your taxes and don’t ask questions.
Australia has somehow convinced an entire generation that working 40 hours a week, spending half their income on rent, driving a financed car and having $2,000 in savings is a normal way to live.
People are taking on 30-year mortgages just to own an ordinary house.
A $100k salary no longer feels like a six-figure salary.
And the craziest part?
Australians will defend this system and tell anyone struggling to simply work harder.
At what point did surviving become the Australian dream?
Australia is becoming a country where working full-time no longer guarantees a comfortable life.
Basic luxuries like going out for dinner or enjoying a weekend are becoming unaffordable.
People are working harder than ever just to maintain a standard of living that previous generations took for granted.
And then everyone wonders why mental health is deteriorating.
Australia doesn’t just have a cost-of-living crisis. It’s slowly becoming a country where ordinary/middle class people can’t afford to live.
Here’s why:
3/HOUSING HAS BECOME A WEALTH DIVIDE.
For previous generations, buying a home on an ordinary income was often achievable.
Today, many Australians are competing against rising property prices, enormous deposits, high borrowing costs and investors with existing equity.
Those who already own assets can benefit when property prices rise.
Those trying to enter the market face an increasingly expensive barrier.
4/DEBT AND INTEREST RATES.
Australia’s housing market is heavily dependent on mortgage borrowing.
When interest rates rise, households with variable-rate loans or expiring fixed rates can face substantial repayment increases.
That’s money no longer available for restaurants, retail, holidays or other businesses.
Higher repayments don’t just affect homeowners. They can flow through the broader economy as households reduce spending.
And when businesses struggle, employment and wage growth can suffer too.
