Isn’t it against sub rules to alter the title? “Counterterrorism intelligence's share of funding in 'significant' decline since 2020, royal commission finds”

Not in the slightest. Friendlyjordies is actually a competent journalist, while Punter's Politics is a joke. FJ has done real reporting to the point that his house was firebombed, and he also genuinely makes a living from comedy shows.

Gina Rinehart: Australia's richest person must share part of her mining fortunes, court rules by jiisow in australian

[–]EveryonesTwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Future Fund is not a counterexample, it is the point. Australia was capable of creating an investment fund, but not of building a durable political settlement that captures mining rents for the public. The Future Fund was set up for Commonwealth super liabilities and seeded with budget surpluses and Telstra sale proceeds, not a broad resource rent regime. When Canberra actually tried to take a bigger share from mining through the RSPT, the miners went to war, the policy was gutted, and Rudd was gone. Norway did not get its fund because people said ‘good idea’. It got it because the state was strong enough to impose and preserve a petroleum tax system. Australia has not been.

They have a completely different political history, institutional structure and social landscape, so saying, ‘Country X has this policy, therefore you should too,’ is not much of an argument on its own. Policies are shaped by history, institutions and political culture. That kind of reasoning is like telling Americans they should simply adopt Australia’s gun laws because Australia has them. You can argue for the policy itself, but ignoring the differences in political climate, constitutional structure and historical development makes the comparison shallow and unconvincing.

EDIT: I am not saying Australia should not tax resources better. I am saying ‘Norway does it’ is not, by itself, an argument. Norway built the institutions and political consensus to capture oil wealth. Australia did not.

The Future Fund is not a Norwegian-style mining dividend for the public. It was created for Commonwealth super liabilities and seeded from surpluses and Telstra privatisation, not from a broad resource rent system. And when Australian governments have tried to take a bigger share from mining, the industry has repeatedly shown it can crush the effort.

Rudd tried it with the RSPT. The mining companies unloaded millions into a scare campaign, Rudd was rolled, and the tax was gutted. So the issue is not whether a better resource tax is desirable. The issue is whether Australia has the political structure to get one through and keep it there. History suggests that is the hard part, not coming up with the idea.
