Richest super balances to be taxed at higher rates after Greens agree to back Labor plan Greens say support for superannuation tax changes is a ‘down payment’ on Labor pursuing genuine reform in 12 May federal budget

Labor’s plan to raise the tax rate on the largest super balances will become law after the Greens agreed to wave it through the Senate, ending a three-year political fight over concessions for wealthier retirees.

NAB warns rising petrol prices could drive inflation above 5 per cent More pain could be coming from motorists if economists' predictions about the impact of rising fuel prices on inflation prove correct.

It may be wishful thinking, but i get the feeling that this #oilshock may be the tipping point on a big shift to EV’s in the next 12 months.

It’s about time to be fair..

Power bills surged during war in 2022. Here's why this time may be different The last time a global energy crisis sent Australian power bills skyrocketing was when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. What's changed this time?

Power bills surged when war broke out in 2022. Here's why the Middle East conflict may be different (the government has made changes around gas supply since then).

In #Australia , local #ASX should open slightly higher today after Wednesday’s heavy losses.

A Wall Street rally overnight will encourage investors, but oil
