Why House Prices Are Rigged Against You, Mining Billionaires' 3% Fine & The Punters' E-Bike Rides

Why House Prices Are Rigged Against You, Mining Billionaires' 3% Fine & The Punters' E-Bike Rides

This week, we expose how a billionaire US mining cartel got slapped with a pathetic $55 million fine for illegally destroying endangered WA forests — then immediately received government permission to keep doing it. We break down the Minister's discretion loophole that lets politicians approve environmental destruction under "national security" exemptions, supposedly for renewable energy, while endangered black cockatoos lose their habitat. The $250 Billion Housing Scam Nobody Wants You To Understand Konrad breaks down the Capital Gains Tax discount — the 1999 policy that's cost Australia $250 billion over the next decade and handed 82% of the benefits to the top 10% of earners (and 60% to the top 1%). We expose why investors get half-price tax on property profits while you pay full tax on your wages, why the media machine is absolutely losing it over potential reforms, and how Domain, REA, and Murdoch's new mortgage company are all incentivized to keep house prices sky-high. Plus: the Punters Lobbyist hunt continues with applications rolling in, Konrad confesses to accepting a free e-bike and puts his fate in the hands of Patreon punters, we clarify Tanya Plibersek's trust situation, and Spotify pulls down last week's episode over four seconds of a Madonna song.
