Australia news live: Hume says Liberals would oppose any increase to capital gains tax; Taylor refuses to be drawn on new frontbench | Australia news
Hume says Liberals will oppose any increase in capital gains tax
Hume is asked about the Liberals’ policies going forward, but he doesn’t offer much detail, saying he won’t “get into the intricacies of policies immediately following the amendment.”
But there is one thing he can say for sure:
All Liberals know that the Liberal party should and always has been the party of lower taxes.
Hume said the party would oppose any increase in the capital gains deduction for property investment.
If you tax residential housing, it will be less. That would be a disaster. Changes to capital gains tax on housing that will provide rental housing, which would create more housing or provide more opportunities for those who have not yet bought their first home, have not yet emerged. That would be a disaster.
Hume is asked whether it is a good idea to tax exports to raise revenue for providing services:
We are always open to seeing taxes reduced. Energy is going to be a really important part of this conversation. To ensure that we have energy abundance in increasing energy supply prices.
Hume, who was under pressure on this issue, gave up saying “48 hours after becoming deputy leader, he would not engage in illegal politics on Sunday morning.”
Low taxes are better than high taxes. They are better for all Australians. However, what will bring energy prices down is energy abundance.
“Abundance” seems to be the keyword here.

The conversation turns again to energy policy and climate change.
Asked directly whether the Coalition needs some kind of policy on climate change, Hume counters by mentioning nuclear energy:
If people were open-minded to the idea of a moratorium on nuclear energy, I have brought forward a substitute to ensure that zero emissions technology is introduced to our country, as every developed country has done or is in the process of doing, which will contribute to energy abundance.
Hume is asked to clarify whether the Coalition’s response to climate change challenges is nuclear. He says that’s not what was asked (it was). Speers asks the question again: What will the Coalition do on climate change beyond nuclear to reduce emissions?
David, once I’m elected vice president, I don’t announce policy 48 hours after being elected. It’s absolutely crazy to approach energy ideologically, because it is energy that drives our economy. We want to see our economy thrive and flourish so that all Australians can see better days ahead.
Hume was then asked whether the Coalition needed a policy on climate change if it hoped to win back seats currently controlled by Teal independents.
There is no doubt that it is extremely important to take care of our environment, protect our oceans, protect our land, and protect our health. Reducing emissions isn’t the only thing that matters to Australians.
What’s important for Australians is that they can see progress. This could see taking care of themselves, taking care of their families, bringing that optimism back to the work they do every day.
Hume says childcare system ‘doesn’t work for Australians’
Regarding child care, Hume He says the party has yet to reconvene after the leadership change, but says he thinks it’s “pretty clear that childcare isn’t working for Australians” due to rising costs that are “now out of reach for every Australian”.
We want to make sure that we have a system that not only ensures that families who want to return to the workplace and care for their children have that opportunity, but that those families also have a choice in how they do that.
But Hume says subsidies are not the answer, adding that he thinks “Australians deserve a choice”.
Because we want all Australians, especially women, to have the opportunity to fully participate in the economy and society. We also want to make sure we have quality childcare to give our children the best start in life, but that doesn’t mean there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to the way to deal with this.

Hume says Liberals ‘something has to give’ amid current election crisis
The coalition faces an existential crisis with the Liberal party suffering its worst result since 1944, deputy Liberal leader said jane Hume, he says.
Something has to give. Australians are rightly aggrieved at the moment and you can see why they are looking elsewhere as they cannot find answers in the messaging, policies and positions we are taking.
That’s why there’s been a change, so Angus’s Taylor and I will lead the team through the next election to make sure we protect Australians’ living standards, restore Australians’ living standards and protect their way of life.
Hume speaks David Speers This morning we have ABC Insiders trying to choose the Coalition’s new leadership team to take the party into the future.
When asked about past mistakes, including opposing work-from-home regulations and opposing tax cuts, Hume defended the party’s actions.
Everyone makes mistakes, and if you don’t consider what will change after an election loss, you’re fooling yourself.
The Australians asked us to do this thinking and in the end it was of great importance. What matters now is the future. What do Australians expect from a strong Coalition and a Liberal party that knows what it stands for, a Liberal party that speaks with conviction rather than convenience?
Taylor attacks Albanians for ‘refusing to condemn’ pro-Palestinian protesters
Asked about recent protests in Sydney, Taylor said he believed “people have the right to pray” but refused to criticize police for how they handled the situation, including the decision to take action against a group of Muslim men praying.
He said he was attacking Albanians for refusing to “condemn” the use of the phrase “globalizing the Intifada”. Asked about grace taming and his use of this phrase suggested that the issue started with the Prime Minister.
I think what should happen is for the prime minister to condemn this.
When asked about the by-election triggered after his predecessor, susan leiTaylor, who left politics after the leadership spill, said he did not “underestimate the magnitude of the challenge” but acknowledged Ley as a “popular local member”.
I appreciate his outstanding service to the Liberal party.

Angus Taylor pulls back on Liberals’ relationship with One Nation and frontbench plans
Newly crowned opposition leader Angus’s Taylor He offered few details about the makeup of his shadow cabinet and the direction of the Coalition under his leadership, but he did not call for it. anthony Albanian Condemn the use of the phrase “globalization of the intifada”.
During his appearance on Sky News, Taylor was asked for details about his party’s future and the internal challenges it faces during his appearance on Sunday morning.
In response to questions about the makeup of the front bench, Taylor said he would “put great people in place” but would not make any announcements on the morning show.
I know you will try to take the front row announcements away from me. I won’t do them.
He was also asked how he would navigate the Coalition’s relationship with One Nation going forward, and in particular whether he would negotiate a preference agreement with the far-right party.
My starting point with people who think One Nation or vote for One Nation is to respect them. They made their decisions for a reason. We must convince them that we are a better alternative.
The party organization decides on the choice and this is not something we are considering right now.
