Labor's flagship housing fund has fallen flat on its face with not a single home being completed under the ‘Housing Australia Future Fund’. The flagship scheme was legislated almost 18 months ago with the Prime Minister saying in 2021 that 30,000 new homes would be built over the next five years, but so far, funding has only been agreed on for 800 homes. Shadow Minister for Home Ownership Andrew Bragg told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The government's had three years to build a house and they haven't built a single one so far under this program."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About a year ago, NFTs were all anyone could talk about. Mark Cuban, Justin Bieber, and Jimmy Fallon each spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a particular variety of NFTs called Bored Ape Yacht Club. Seth Green also bought in and began writing a TV show around his Ape, while in Long Beach a fast food restaurant opened called Bored and Hungry using the Bored Ape Yacht Club IP. Since then, the news concerning NFTs has not been great. Seth Green lost his Ape in a phishing scam, and a stock market downturn plunged the budding crypto boom into a crypto winter, sending NFT prices tumbling along the way. While many chalked up the NFT craze as nothing more than a flash in the pan, there were those who still saw the potential in the technology. Our guest today is one such person, who saw the communal aspect of NFT ownership as a feature to be harnessed. Today we talk with Andrew Bagg, the cofounder of Ape Water. We discuss: How they are building a business that isn't tied to the turbulent NFT markets How Ape Water cans are similar to Wheaties Boxes How Ape Water uses web3 technology to give its consumers more than just a refreshing beverage
This week we are joined by Senator Andrew Bragg who is Liberal Senator elected into parliament in 2019. Senator Bragg has been an active part of the crypto community and advocated for progress and innovation in this sector In 2021 Andrew was appointed as Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Australia as a Technology and Financial Centre. The Committee's final report contained 12 recommendations to make Australia a world-leading destination for cryptocurrency. The Treasurer Josh Frydenberg largely adopted the Senate's plan which would protect consumers without stifling innovation.We chat:What has happened since the Senate Recommendations last year If Australia is doing enough to be competitive What a Central Bank Digital Currency could mean for Australia The tech that is paving the way … and a whole lot more!You can find Senator Bragg on Twitter @ajamesbragg @braggsenator and https://www.andrewbragg.com/Ready to start investing?

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has issued new warnings to financial influencers. This was contained in its Information Sheet, highlighting what influencers and companies hiring them should be aware of. While there's no specific mention of cryptocurrency, these rules will most likely apply to the crypto industry. ASIC issues warning to financial influencers The rule appears to target the promotion of unlicensed financial services, something that crypto services fall under. In a warning directed at financial influencers who are unsure of whether the brand violates the law, ASIC states, “Think about your content carefully and whether you are providing unlicensed financial services.” The new information sheet says that influencers may need a license to give financial advice. The penalties for breaking the rules appear severe as companies could get up to 5 million dollars in fines while individuals could get as much as five years imprisonment. The rules come amidst new efforts by regulators to protect consumers in the country. In recent weeks, several Australians have fallen victim to targeted crypto scams. Regulators have also doubled down on their effort to prevent and recently filed legal actions against Meta for not preventing the promotion of crypto scams on its platforms. Influencers have a hold over youths Influencers have attained a prominent role in the new economy, necessitating licensing. A 2021 ASIC survey estimated that 33% of citizens between 18 and 21 follow financial influencers. It also discovered that 64% of young people in the country modified their behavior because of an influencer. Based on this, ASIC believes it's important to regulate the sector. ASIC Commissioner Cathie Armour stated that Influencers who discuss financial products and services online must comply with the financial services laws. If they don't, they risk substantial penalties and put investors at risk. What actually qualifies as influencing? However, there are questions as to what qualifies as influencing. ASIC's explanation suggests that influencing has to do with recommending rather than just stating facts. Modify old content / minimise investing discussion / not mention any financial products, funds etc. Some may choose to close up shop, I know one who is, while others will prob continue for enjoyment in a limited capacity. Sad situation for free speech. Dave Gow | Strong Money Australia (@strongmoneyaus) April 2, 2022 But Financial blogger Dave Gow who runs Strong Money Grow, wrote that Writing almost anything could influence someone to invest or use any financial product. Some believe that these rules shouldn't apply to crypto. One of them is Senator Andrew Bragg, who said that ASIC's current policy applies the law to crypto to the extent that digital assets fall within the definition of a financial product. Crypto is currently unregulated and not a financial product. I believe we can do more. This statement echoes the general call for more regulatory clarity on crypto in the country. Authorities appear to be working on that presently though nothing is concrete yet.
Defining the regulatory agenda As it attempts to set a regulatory agenda for the sector, the federal government has hinted that preferential tax treatment for cryptocurrency businesses is on the table. Senator Andrew Bragg (who chaired the Australia as a Technology and Financial Centre committee last year) stated at a Blockchain Australia conference that he does not want Australia to miss out on the opportunity to become a blockchain hub. "Australia had hoped to become a hub for asset management," Bragg once said. "That has not occurred: 96 percent of the funds under management are domestic," he said. He attributed this to a previous Labor government's failure to pursue the necessary legislative changes to attract the sector, and stated that he hoped to avoid this happening to the blockchain sector in the future. Bragg told the conference that four key policy actions should take place before the end of the year: terms of reference for the Board of Taxation, which will establish an enquiry into taxing crypto assets; an enquiry into the causes and policy responses to de-banking by the Council of Financial Regulators; consultation on the "market design" (for example, licensing) of crypto markets; and a final consultation on the custody regime, which will cover custodial or deposit services. "The reality is that we do not live in a libertarian utopia," Bragg told the conference. "Regulatory arbitrage is not an option." "There is widespread agreement on the importance of addressing proper legal design." To reduce the possibility that Australia will miss out on its "cryptocurrency hub" opportunity, Bragg suggested that instead of attempting to amend the already complex Corporations Act, "we should have a very simple, clear, and clean Digital Services Act." DAOs, which some believe could replace corporations, should also be investigated as part of any cryptocurrency regulatory regime, according to Bragg. He warned that the rise of DAOs could cause "mass tax leakage" because they are taxed as partnerships rather than corporations. He stated that company tax accounted for 17.1 percent of Commonwealth revenue in 2020/2021, which he believes is "double the OECD average," and that he believes this is unsustainable. The key principles for regulating DAOs are that there is a consumer protection framework in place, as well as audit and disclosure standards, "replaceable rules" (rather than company constitutions) to standardise DAO governance protocols, and limited liability, just as there is for companies. Bragg elaborated on how the tax system must accommodate Australia's ambitions to become a cryptocurrency hub, saying that "you cannot be a serious hub unless you are competitive on taxation." "People like me will have to make the case in public that a tax cut in this space is needed," he continued, because he wants Australia to be seen as "a jurisdiction that people want their business in, because our tax system is clear and clean, just as our regulation is clear and clean." While he does not advocate for Australia to become a tax haven like the Isle of Man or Bermuda, he does believe we need to be more dynamic, adding, "We shouldn't be afraid to look at tax havens as inspiration for regulation."

Unlike a lot of other western countries, Australia has a forced saving system called superannuation. When the system was introduced back in 1992, 3% of your income went to your super, which is only accessible at the age of 66. Nowadays, that percentage is 9.5%, but there are plans to increase it so that by 2025, 12% of your pay will be put into your super. Should more of our money be put into super? Or would you rather have it now to buy a house? Senator Andrew Bragg and Executive Director of Per Capita Emma Dawson join The Briefing to discuss the opposing sides to the super increase.

If there is one thing that almost everyone agrees on, it is that not everything is super with Superannuation. Some call for greater flexibility in the super system, and others say that the system is being rorted by the rich and the rules need to be tightened. Yet the problems and solutions on each side of the debate seem radically different. One side says that we need more super, the other side says we need to abandon the proposed increase in the compulsory super rate. One side says that super governance is dominated by vested interests, particularly the unions, while the other points out that industry super has massively outperformed retail funds. Should the super guarantee continue to increase to 12%? Is super fit for purpose? Well, it all depends on who you ask. Former CIS researcher Dr Stephen Kirchner called superannuation “Libertarianism Paternalism without the libertarianism”, while CIS Research Director Simon Cowan argues super that super is a bad deal for millennials. This webinar, How to fix super, involved speakers James Pawluk, Executive Director, Superannuation & Universal Ownership at the McKell Institute and Andrew Bragg, Liberal Senator for New South Wales gave their firm views of the problems with Super and its future direction. CIS Director of Research Simon Cowan, moderated the conversation and raised the question, how will super affect the rise and fall of Australian taxes? ____________________ Andrew Bragg is a Liberal Senator for New South Wales.

If you earn a wage in Australia, there is a good chance that you are being paid superannuation. Currently, employers have to contribute a percentage of your pay into a nominated super account. Superannuation as we know it in Australia is now 29 years old, and some are calling for another review of the scheme in some radical ways. This year has seen the controversial early release of superannuation for some Australians due to coronavirus just for starters while others believe superannuation could be accessed earlier so more Australians can use that money to buy a home. We had the opportunity to chat with the Senator Andrew Bragg about his ideas for the future of super, including the idea that Australian's should be able to access their super in order to buy a home and other changes he calls "radical surgery".
