Nova pokojninska zakonodaja je v državnem zboru dobila podporo, a pot do uveljavitve novele še ni končana. Del sindikatov ter nevladnih organizacij bo ta četrtek v parlament odnesel zadostno število podpisov, s čimer se bodo začeli postopki za referendum. Prepričani so, da gredo predlagane spremembe "izrazito v škodo delavstva in upokojencev". Vladna stran pa trdi, da ukrepi prinašajo večjo blaginjo upokojencem, a zagotavljajo vzdržnost sistema. O argumentih ene in druge strani v tokratnem Studiu ob 17.00. Gostje: Igor Feketija, državi sekretar na ministrstvu za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti; Marijan Papež, generalni direktor Zavoda za pokojninsko in invalidsko zavarovanje; dr. Jaka Cepec, Ekonomska fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani; David Švarc, Delavska koalicija.

Wer vom Militär- in den Zivildienst wechseln will, soll höhere Hürden nehmen müssen, denn es gebe zu viele Abgänge von der Armee in den zivilen Ersatzdienst, findet nach dem Bundesrat und Nationalrat auch der Ständerat. Die Ratslinke hat bereits ein Referendum angekündigt. Weitere Themen: Solche Unwetterjahre kann man an einer Hand abzählen: Mit Schäden im Umfang von über 900 Millionen Franken liegt das Jahr 2024 gemäss der Forschungsanstalt WSL auf Rang fünf seit Beginn der Erfassung. In Ruanda findet seit Sonntag erstmals eine Rad-WM auf afrikanischem Boden statt. Ein starkes Signal für Nachwuchstalente – auch für diejenigen aus dem Nachbarland Uganda.

Welcome to the 154th episode of the #ExpatChat podcast, where we explore the latest tax and financial issues affecting #AustralianExpats. In this episode, What Expats Need to Know About the Swiss Referendum, Atlas Wealth Group's Managing Director (EMEA), Brett Evans, and Patrick, Head of Advice – Switzerland, break down Switzerland's upcoming property tax referendum and provide context on a system that has been in place since 1934. They explain how the current rules—where mortgage interest is deductible but homeowners are taxed on an “imputed rent”—can lead to unexpected outcomes, including high levels of debt and heavier tax bills for retirees. The conversation also covers proposed reforms, such as new deductions for first-time buyers, and what these changes could mean for expats living or investing in Switzerland. Brett and Patrick compare Swiss tax policies with those in Australia and the US, highlighting differences in federal and cantonal taxing powers and how lifestyle decisions often hinge on regional tax competitiveness. They also discuss cross-border living between Switzerland and France, driven by cost-of-living factors, and offer guidance on how expats can navigate potential policy changes following the September 28th vote.

The Blair government threw itself into action as soon as it was formed.Rather confirming the existence of a deal between them, something they've never confirmed, Blair quickly appointed Gordon Brown Chancellor. As well as steps, such as making the Bank of England independent and introducing a minimum wage, on which they fully agreed, there's also evidence that, as suspected, Blair had promised Brown authority of his own, unprecedented for a Chancellor, over social security. Brown focused on families with children and on pensioners, and his reforms did bring in a significant redistribution of wealth, increasing the incomes of the poorest at the expense of the richest. Strangely, however, this led to no reduction in inequality: since the 1980s, the time of Thatcher and Reagan, the pressure towards growing inequality, whose effect we feel strongly today in the power of so-called oligarchs, had been sustained and was apparently irresistible. The Blair government acted to improve gay rights, equalising the age of consent for straight and gay sex, abolishing the notorious Section 28 and introducing civil partnerships for gay couples.It also worked on devolution, with parliaments set up for both Scotland and Wales, with substantial powers though nothing like independence, and a new strategic authority for London, which had been without one since Thatcher abolished the Greater London Council in 1986.When it came to Northern Ireland, there was still a lot of work to do. Referendums in both the Republic and in the North endorsed the Good Friday Agreement, despite far lower enthusiasm among Northern Protestants than among Catholics in the province and citizens of the Republic. Now there was some hard, detailed work to do to implement the agreement. That would include a sad collateral casualty. That, though, is something which we'll talk about next week.Illustration: Blair and Brown, working in partnership.

Pokojninska reforma je nujna in prinaša dobre rešitve, se strinjajo socialni partnerji, del politike in stroka. Z njo pa niso zadovoljni vsi - Delavska koalicija ocenjuje, da preveč obremenjuje delavce in upokojence, zato si želijo referenduma. Pravnik Miro Cerar opozarja, da če se bo to politiziralo, bo to slaba popotnica za tako pomemben projekt. Druge teme: - Včeraj potrjeni noveli gradbene zakonodaje in urejanja prostora prinašata več sprememb, tudi glede legalizacije starejših objektov, kar je pri stroki vzbudilo pomisleke. Minister za naravne vire in prostor Jože Novak eno od ključnih prednosti sprememb vidi v poenostavitvi postopkov, saj so v pretkelosti sistemi postali formalno zakomplicirani, nepregledni, postopki pa podvojeni in tudi potrojeni. - Evropska komisija v novem svežnju sankcij proti Moskvi predlaga prepoved uvoza ruskega utekočinjenega plina z začetkom leta 2027. To je leto prej od napovedi, je pojasnila predsednica Komisije Ursula von der Leyen. Ob tem je dejala, da je čas, da zapremo pipo. Na to smo pripravljeni, saj varčujemo z energijo, razpršili smo vire dobav, v nizkoogljične vire pa vlagamo kot nikoli doslej. - Združene države so šestič blokirale sprejetje resolucije Varnostnega sveta o Gazi, ker ta ni vsebovala jasne obsodbe Hamasovega napada oktobra 2023. Gazi medtem grozi dodatno zmanjšanje dobav humanitarne pomoči.

S potrditvijo v državnem zboru se pot sprejemanja pokojninske reforme očitno ni končala. Delavska koalicija je začela zbirati referendumske podpise. Menijo namreč, da bo reforma izvedena na plečih upokojencev in zaposlenih. Politika bo na drugi strani morala prepričati volilce v nujnost reforme za dolgoročno vzdržnost sistema. Ostali poudarki oddaje: - Evropska komisija je potrdila 19. sveženj sankcij proti Rusiji. - Izraelska vojska predlaga zaustavitev dobave človekoljubne pomoči iz Jordanije. - V Posočju začetek celomesečnega Festivala pohodništva in kolesarjenja.

Pokojninsko reformo, ki jo pozdravljajo socialni partnerji, upokojenci in del politike, iz ekonomskih krogov pa je slišati, da gre za eno boljših potez slovenske politike, bi lahko ogrozil referendum. Delavska koalicija je namreč napovedala zbiranje podpisov za njegovo vložitev, saj je po besedah sindikalista Davida Švarca reforma škodljiva za delavce in upokojence. Drugi poudarki: - Izraelska vojska uničuje mesto Gaza in grozi še s silovitejšimi napadi. - Evropska unija z ostrimi odzivi na rusko kršitev estonskega zračnega prostora. - V Mengšu odprli prizidek osnovne šole, vreden skoraj 10 milijonov.

Socialni partnerji in ekonomisti so izrazili zadovoljstvo s pokojninsko reformo, ki jo je včeraj sprejel državni zbor, saj naj bi bila primeren odgovor na starajočo družbo. V Delavski koaliciji, ki združuje manjši del sindikatov in civilno-družbenih gibanj, pa spremembam ostro nasprotujejo. Po napovedih so začeli zbirati podpise za začetek referendumskega postopka.

Vor einem Jahr erschütterte der «Unterschriftenbschiss» die Schweiz. Firmen sammelten gegen Geld Unterschriften für Volksinitiativen und Referenden. Doch dahinter steckte systematischer Betrug: Es wurden Unterschriften gefälscht, Namen falsch aufgeschrieben oder gar Personen erfunden.Der Bschiss hatte diverse Strafanzeigen zur Folge. Die Bundeskanzlei versprach, so etwas werde nicht mehr vorkommen. Doch jetzt sind neue Unregelmässigkeiten aufgetaucht: Viele ungültige Unterschriften stammen von einer Firma, die von bekannten SVP-Politikerinnen und -Politikern geführt wird.In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» erklärt Thomas Knellwolf, Reporter beim Tamedia-Recherchedesk, was dahintersteckt und wie der Bschiss trotz der grossen Enthüllung letztes Jahr weitergehen konnte.

This Day in Legal History: Final Draft of the US Constitution EngrossedOn September 16, 1787, the final draft of the United States Constitution was signed by the Constitutional Convention delegates in Philadelphia. Although the official signing date was September 17, the 16th was the day the finished document was ordered to be engrossed — meaning it was written in its final, formal script on parchment. This step marked the culmination of four months of intense debate, compromise, and drafting by delegates from twelve of the thirteen original states. The Constitution replaced the failing Articles of Confederation and established a stronger federal government with distinct executive, legislative, and judicial branches.Debates on September 16 included last-minute details such as how amendments could be proposed and the extent of federal power over the militia. The delegates had already resolved key issues like the Great Compromise (creating a bicameral legislature), the Electoral College, and the Three-Fifths Compromise regarding the counting of enslaved individuals for representation. One of the final acts on the 16th was the approval of the letter that would accompany the Constitution to Congress, urging ratification by the states.Though the Constitution would still need to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states, the events of September 16 set the stage for the formal adoption the following day. The engrossed copy would be signed on September 17 and later become the foundation of American law and governance.Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor and daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over her sudden termination in July. She alleges that her firing was politically motivated, stemming from her father's adversarial relationship with Donald Trump. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, names both the Justice Department and the Executive Office of the President as defendants and claims Comey was given no reason for her dismissal. According to the suit, Comey had received strong performance evaluations, including one in April signed by Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.Comey had played key roles in high-profile prosecutions, including the sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell and the recent conviction of Sean “Diddy” Combs on prostitution-related charges. She was fired just two weeks after the Combs trial ended. The email she received from DOJ human resources cited presidential authority under Article II but offered no specific explanation. When she asked Clayton about the decision, he allegedly said, “All I can say is it came from Washington.”The lawsuit challenges the administration's ability to remove career, non-political prosecutors and raises concerns about politicization of the Justice Department, particularly in cases involving Trump or his allies.Former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey sues Trump administration over firing | ReutersElon Musk's company X Corp has settled a trademark dispute with legal marketing firm X Social Media over the use of the “X” name. The case, filed in Florida federal court in October 2023, stemmed from Musk's rebranding of Twitter to X, which X Social Media claimed caused consumer confusion and financial harm. As part of the resolution, both parties asked the court to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be reopened. The founder of X Social Media, Jacob Malherbe, confirmed the settlement and announced the company will now operate under the name Mass Tort Ad Agency.The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and X Corp did not issue a comment. The lawsuit was one of several Musk's company has faced over the “X” name, which is widely used and trademarked by numerous businesses, including Microsoft and Meta. In its defense, X Corp argued that many companies have long coexisted with similar “X” trademarks and accused X Social Media of trying to exploit the situation for profit. This settlement follows another earlier agreement in which X Corp resolved a separate trademark claim brought by the firm Multiply.The dismissal brings closure to a case that raised questions about branding overlap and trademark dilution in an increasingly crowded digital landscape.Musk's X Corp settles mass-tort ad agency's trademark lawsuit over 'X' name | ReutersTwo U.S. law firms, Bartlit Beck and Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer, are requesting $85 million in legal fees after securing a $700 million settlement with Google over alleged antitrust violations tied to its Play Store. The settlement, which is still pending approval by U.S. District Judge James Donato, resolves claims that Google overcharged Android users by restricting app distribution and imposing excessive in-app transaction fees. Under the agreement, $630 million will go to a consumer fund, with another $70 million allocated to a state-managed fund shared by all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.Consumers are expected to receive a minimum of $2, with additional compensation based on their Play Store spending from August 2016 to September 2023. Google also agreed to ease restrictions on app developers, allowing them to inform users about alternative payment methods and enabling easier direct app downloads from the web. The fee request amounts to approximately 13.5% of the consumer settlement fund, and the firms say they invested nearly 100,000 hours over more than three years.While Judge Donato previously raised concerns about the scope of the deal, no U.S. state has objected to the fee request so far. Google has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of the settlement, and users will still have the opportunity to raise objections before final approval.Lawyers behind $700 million Google settlement ask for $85 million fee award | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week looks at Norway's recent national election, which effectively became a referendum on one of the last remaining wealth taxes in Europe. Despite having a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund and no immediate fiscal need for a wealth tax, Norwegians narrowly backed the Labour Party, signaling that voters still care about fairness in taxation—even when the government doesn't need the money. In a global landscape where wealth taxes have mostly disappeared, this was a small but potent victory for the principle of equity.I argued that this matters beyond Norway. Wealth taxes used to be common across Europe, but most were abandoned due to fears of capital flight and elite lobbying. That Norway held the line—even amid billionaire threats and a populist surge—suggests that wealth taxes can survive politically when fairness becomes a central electoral value. It also underscores that symbolic wins can shape broader policy debates by proving what's administratively and politically possible.In the U.S., we lack Norway's fiscal cushion, yet we've persistently avoided taxing wealth. Policymakers often justify this inaction with fears about capital mobility, but I question whether we're really more vulnerable to capital flight than Norway is. The deeper issue is political will. Americans have long treated wealth taxation as politically toxic and bureaucratically unworkable, but that may be more a product of narrative than necessity.Norway's voters showed that fairness can be enough to win—even narrowly. But I emphasize that such policies require ongoing public defense; they don't sustain themselves. If we continue dodging the issue in the U.S., we'll be doing so not from a place of strength, but from a place of illusion. If Norway can defend taxing wealth despite not needing to, we have no excuse not to even try.Norway Wealth Tax Victory Shows Visible Fairness Still Matters This is a public episode.

"After the 2011 Referendum failed, with less staff, with less teachers, with less assistants, there was a lot less individual work [with students]. We spread ourselves really thin. But then since [the 2018 Referendum passed] we're back to small classes. My small groups are small. The IEPs are manageable. I've noticed a huge difference." Sue Misner"We have about 1,700 multilingual (ML) students in the district now with over 100 languages spoken. [Since 2018] we have been able to have our ML teachers and our assistants push into classrooms to support student learning. We help them build vocabulary. We help them build background knowledge. ... We are also able to work with small groups inside and outside the classroom for students who need targeted support to grow their proficiency in the English language. ... The smaller class sizes really make a big difference." Sarah Valentin"We moved here just a few years ago and I love the community. I tell all our families about all the youth sports programs we have. I tell them about everything that's going on at the high school. I love talking about how our schools are succeeding — about our Bands, our sports programs, and all the things that are offered. ... I'm really passionate about it. ... I see how those smaller numbers and the pull out groups and the supports help." Nicole Derhammer

A Whanganui iwi leader is calling for an immediate halt to the Whanganui Local Body Election and Māori Ward Referendum. 

Voter turnout could be an issue for a proposal to introduce binding referendums on major council spending projects. The Local Government Business Forum has released a report in favour of holding referendums for significant projects exceeding $500 per ratepayer. It says it should only apply to non-essentials, preserving councils' ability to invest in key utilities like water and transport. Forum Secretary Nick Clark told Mike Hosking thresholds need to be in play to help low voter numbers. He says there should be a turnout threshold or a super majority, particularly if it's a binary choice. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Braucht die Schweiz eine digitale Identitätskarte? Über diese Frage entscheidet die Stimmbevölkerung am 28. September. Die Befürworter betonen, es handle sich um eine einfache und sichere Lösung, die den Alltag erleichtere. Die Gegenseite warnt vor mangelndem Datenschutz und drohender Überwachung. Mit dem E-ID-Gesetz soll ein elektronischer Identitätsnachweis eingeführt werden. Nutzerinnen und Nutzer sollen sich damit im digitalen Raum gegenüber Behörden und Unternehmen ausweisen können – etwa bei der Eröffnung eines Bankkontos. Im Gegensatz zur 2021 abgelehnten Vorlage sieht das neue Gesetz vor, dass die E-ID nicht von privaten Unternehmen, sondern vom Bund herausgegeben und betrieben wird. Gegen die Vorlage haben mehrere Organisationen das Referendum ergriffen. Sie warnen vor Überwachung durch grosse Techkonzerne, einer Einschränkung der Privatsphäre und mangelndem Datenschutz. Die Befürworterinnen und Befürworter hingegen betonen: Mit der E-ID könnten viele Dienstleistungen unkomplizierter abgewickelt werden, die neue E-ID sei sicher und stärke den Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz. Braucht die Schweiz die E-ID? Ist die neue E-ID sicher oder ist der Datenschutz gefährdet? Und wie freiwillig ist sie? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 5. September 2025 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Beat Jans, Bundesrat und Vorsteher EJPD; – Maya Bally, Nationalrätin Die Mitte/AG; – Gerhard Andrey, Nationalrat Grüne/FR; und – Vanessa Grand, Inklusions-Aktivistin. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Monica Amgwerd, Kampagnenleiterin «E-ID-Gesetz Nein»; – Lukas Reimann, Nationalrat SVP/SG; – Markus Zollinger, Vorstandsmitglied Bewegung «Mass-voll»; und – Jorgo Ananiadis, Präsident Piratenpartei.

„Věřím tomu, že jsou Češi a Češky racionální. Kdyby dostali možnost hlasovat o své budoucnosti, hlasovali by většinově proti vystoupení z NATO a EU,“ říká předsedkyně Socdem Jana Maláčová, která vede kandidátku Stačilo! v Praze. Hnutí chce přitom vyvolat referendum o vystoupení ze západních struktur. Maláčová ve Studiu N tvrdí, že pro ni zahraniční otázky nejsou klíčové.  Spojení Soscdem se Stačilo! označuje za sňatek z rozumu. A byť podle svých slov nesouzní se všemi výroky představitelů hnutí, na programu se prý obě strany v drtivé většině shodnou. V podcastu například říká, že souhlasí se zrušením Senátu nebo zestátněním České televize a Českého rozhlasu. „Veřejnoprávní média tlačí jeden správný názor,“ myslí si. A jak by podle ní měla zestátněná veřejnoprávní média fungovat? „Začne být striktně dodržován kodex. A povinně bych je posílala na stáže do Berlína a do Londýna, aby se naučili žurnalistice. Nezlobte se na mě, ale ať to má nějakou kvalitu a nějakou štábní kulturu. A chtěla bych, aby to bylo vyvážené. Skutečně, česká žurnalistika je mizerná,“ tvrdí. Jak se z Maláčové stala pražská lídryně hnutí, které dříve označovala za antisystémové a nelevicové? Proč se vyhýbá odpovědi na otázku, jaké důsledky by mělo vystoupení České republiky z Evropské unie a NATO? A umí si představit spolupráci s Andrejem Babišem, kterého dříve označila za „debila“?

Could a four year government term be on the horizon? The select committee has recommended pushing ahead with a referendum, which would see Kiwi's voting yes or no for the government to have an extra year in power. Despite having proposed the legislation, the ACT party is now the only party in Parliament against the bill in its current form....saying it needs to include additional checks and balances on the government's power. Reporter Evie Richardson spoke to people in Auckland's New Lynn to find out whether they'd be ticking yes or no at the polls.

A referendum on a four-year Parliamentary term is all but guaranteed, with the select committee recommending it proceed. Otago University law expert Andrew Geddis spoke to Corin Dann.

From Chiang Kai-shek's nuclear ambitions to the fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima, Taiwan's nuclear story has always been controversial. The ROC once came within months of being nuclear-bomb ready, but today, fission is gone from even civilian atomic power generation. This Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025, voters face a radioactive referendum. The core question? Whether to restart the recently decommissioned Ma'anshan Nuclear Power Plant 馬鞍山核能發電廠 in Kenting, Pingtung County. After years of splitting atoms over this hot topic, a critical mass is forming in a debate that may reveal just how divided the island remains on atomic energy. Join us as we explore the chain-reaction politics of Taiwan's nuclear dilemma and the referendum which may trigger a U-turn on uranium. FOLLOW us on social media, leave a REVIEW or comment. Thanks, it really helps.

The weaponization of the judiciary, cultural institutions, and federal agencies threatens deeper fissures. As demographic shifts challenge already fragile power hierarchies in places like Texas, the backlash grows, manifesting in state repression and ideological crusades. This week, "In Class with Carr" looks to historical memory to remind us that Governance formations can and must be reimagined with a focus on relational citizenship rather than always deeply flawed racial state structures.
