A quick #FOI thank you to the DTA, and Suzie Sazdanovic, for good faith engagement with FOI requests and processes, particularly in relation to a request (and Internal Review) that turned up a monumental number of documents.

2026 budget. Something I haven't seen discussed but which ought to be is the impact of trust minimum tax rules for non-DGR charities. People can and do use trusts so that they can give *more* to worthy causes, without the tax man taking a hefty cut first. So much for that 😞

This is a striking piece of polling, the Greens and One Nation combined getting 48% of the vote for 18 to 34s. This is what it looks like when the major parties fail entire generations of people.
