Land tax is the ‘last straw' for Victorian farmers as drought batters crops
Victorian Liberal MP Bev McArthur comments on increasing costs as drought batters farmers' crops in Victoria.
'When they're confronted by adverse weather conditions, increased rate rises, increased bank interest rates, and huge increase in their input costs as well, and then this tax on top, it's just been the last straw,' Ms McArthur told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
'I've asked the Minister for Agriculture, the state minister, to come and look at what the situation is in our area, see for yourself how desperate people are, and how desperate the situation is.'

One job Liberal senator Jane Hume is holding on to
We return to the evergreen subject of the Liberal Party and its woman problem (or rather, as we quipped last week, its man problem) Party elder Alan Stockdale 's ill-considered comments last week about 'assertive women' giving Liberal blokes a hard time rightly enraged members pushing to improve the party's parliamentary gender representation. Those comments landed right as CBD was hearing gripes about the fate of the Margaret Guilfoyle Network, a forum for Liberal women that many didn't even know existed. The network, named after Australia's first female cabinet minister, was quietly launched last year, despite being a recommendation of an internal review into the Liberals' 2022 election loss. No doubt there will be an announcement about another one of those soon. Loading Party sources were flabbergasted that the network had held just a handful of Zoom meetings and networking events since kicking off. And that Liberal women were expected to pay literal money to solve a problem caused by men. Indeed, membership costs a modest $150 a year for non-party members, $100 for those in the party and $50 for under 35s. But a party spokesman wanted to set the record straight. 'The Margaret Guilfoyle Network has held events in almost every state and territory, and held multiple Zoom events including briefings on the Queensland election, the US election and guest speakers including NZ Finance Minister Nicola Willis,' he said. 'Now that the election's over, the MGN will deliver even more events for its members.'

Simmering United States-China trade tensions send nuclear stocks soaring, Global X ETFs' Scott Helfstein reveals
Australian uranium miners have been on a tear since the calamity of United States President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' spooked investors and sent stocks around the globe plummeting. Uranium mining is a cyclical industry, one which fluctuates along with the business cycle, and was devastated by the turmoil from President Trump's trade war before strongly rebounding. Global X ETFs' head of thematic solutions Scott Helfstein told Sky News' Business Now the uranium sector's rebound was a sign of strength in the the wider economy. 'What we're actually seeing in the last few weeks, since we have moved past peak US-China tensions, we're seeing cyclical areas like copper miners, uranium miners, industrials start to rally and come back,' he said. 'That is a sign of good secular growth or expectations for good secular growth.' He noted while there was a 'sense of negative sentiment' among investors, underlying economic factors were stable. 'The hard economic and fundamentals from a corporate and a GDP (gross domestic product) perspective have remained really strong,' Mr Helfstein said. Uranium miner Paladin Energy has surged more than 50 per cent since the early April wipeout from "Liberation Day". Boss Energy has added more than 80 per cent, Deep Yellow has jumped more than 60 per cent and Bannerman Energy has soared about 45 per cent. Similarly, the world's largest publicly traded uranium miner and Swedish powerhouse Cameco Corp is up more than 70 per cent since early April. The climb comes as the ASX 200 has experienced wild turbulence since the beginning of the year. China and the US placed massive tariffs on one another, but agreed last month to reduce these to undergo trade negotiations. US and Chinese officials said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to get their trade truce back on track and remove China's export restrictions on rare earths, but offered little sign of a durable resolution to longstanding trade tensions. The ASX 200 hit a peak in mid-February before slowly dropping after President Trump began revealing his trade policies - including tariffs on aluminium, steel and automotive parts. The index plummeted in early April after the sweeping 'Liberation Day' tariffs were slapped on most nations around the world. President Trump temporarily pausing these levies and a boost of investor confidence has led to a gradual rise of the ASX 200.

John Pesutto rejected 'offer of assistance' from Moira Deeming that would have saved him from bankruptcy, prevented by-election
Former Victorian opposition leader John Pesutto has rejected an 'offer of assistance' from Moira Deeming which would have saved him from imminent bankruptcy and prevented a costly by-election for his seat of Hawthorn. The former Liberal leader has just over two weeks to pay the $2.3 million he owes Ms Deeming or be declared bankrupt – an outcome that will see him thrown out of parliament. Mr Pesutto has already raised just over $750,000 in order to help settle the debt and is pushing for an agreement which would see the Liberal Party, or a party-linked investment fund, loan him the remaining $1.5 million. However, the Victorian Liberal Party remains deeply divided over whether its funds should be used to bail out the former leader, who was found to have defamed Ms Deeming as someone who 'associates with Nazis'. In a letter sent to Mr Pesutto, current Opposition Leader Brad Battin and Victorian Liberal Party president Philip Davis, Ms Deeming offered not to call in the bankruptcy notice served on Mr Pesutto. In exchange, the former Liberal leader, and the Liberal Party, would have to agree to a series of conditions. Theses include: that Mr Pesutto immediately pays 'all available funds' he has raised to Ms Demeing, while the remainder of the debt is deferred until 30 March 2027 in order to 'give him sufficient time to secure the necessary funds and avoid bankruptcy'. That Ms Deeming's preselection is endorsed as the party's lead candidate for the Western Metropolitan upper house ahead of the next election so she can serve her community 'without any internal distractions'. That the Liberal Party, through Mr Battin, provide Ms Deeming and her family with a 'unreserved written and public apology for the way (she has) been treated, for the imputations against (her) reputation and that all the false allegations and defamatory slurs directed towards (her) are rejected'. That the Liberal Party hold a 'wholesale review into existing internal dispute resolution', led by an independent person from outside Victoria and that the party 'undertake to consider those recommendations in good faith' in order to ensure there is never another dispute similar to that between Ms Deeming and Mr Pesutto. Finally, it also requests that all parties 'draw a line under the events of the past two years and ensure our focus is on the constituents we serve, the party we love and the people of Victoria'. Ms Deeming outlined her motivations for the offer by citing her respect for party members and her dismay that funds intended to help the party win government would be used to bail out Mr Pesutto. 'I write to you as a Liberal and I make this offer as someone who deeply respects the rights of Liberal Party members to a party that is focused on winning the 2026 state election and securing a better future for all Victorians,' Ms Deeming states in the letter. 'I am dismayed by reports that the Liberal Party (Victorian Division) is considering an approach from Mr John Pesutto to meet his financial obligations in relation to a costs order made against him by the Federal Court after an earlier judgment that he defamed me. 'From the outset, both former president Mr Greg Mirabella and current incumbent Mr Philip Davis publicly stated that no party funds would be used in this action and to now expect the party to cover Mr Pesutto's substantial debts goes against the grain of everything we believe as Liberals.' Ms Deeming's letter states that the offer is 'not up for negotiation, and it expires at 5pm on Tuesday 10 June 2025'. 'I have suffered through a gruelling two and half years where almost every offer I made to negotiate a settlement was rejected,' the letter states. 'This is my final attempt to spare the Liberal Party further harm and to afford Mr Pesutto, and his family, the dignity that was denied me, my husband and my children.' However, Mr Pesutto has rejected the deal, with a strong backer of Ms Deeming accusing the member for Hawthorn of holding out for "holding out for the party or its entities to pay his bills". Sky News Australia's Peta Credlin reported on Wednesday that after asking for an additional 24 hours to respond, the former opposition leader put forward a counter offer. It is understood this would have seen him pay around $1.2 million of the debt in exchange for agreeing not to ask the party for a loan. "Understandably, his counter offer was rejected," Credlin said, adding that the Liberals she had spoken to "cannot fathom any of this". "Clearly, he's now pinning all his hopes on the Liberal Party bailing him out with a loan at an Admin Committee meeting that's now been shifted to next Thursday," she said. "I am told Pesutto wants 15 plus years to pay back this debt, which means to be honest, he will never pay it back." Sources close to Mr Pesutto have dismissed the proposal as unworkable. Speaking to a Liberal figure said the $750,000 referred to in Ms Deeming's letter was made up of 'provisional commitments' that had been pledged on the condition that the Liberal Party loan the former leader the remaining amount needed to avoid bankruptcy and a by-election. The Pesutto-aligned figure also disputed the claim the offer would resolve the dispute, stating it would 'simply stay the execution from now… to March 2027'. 'I think it's more about trying to cut a deal on the preselection, which I think is pretty outrageous because it has just got nothing to do with the dispute,' they said. 'Imagine getting that shoehorned in and everybody else has to stand before the membership.' In a further email sent to the Victorian Liberal Party admin committee, on which Mr Battin sits alongside Mr Mirabella and federal MP Dan Tehan, Ms Deeming hit back at those suggestions. "I do not intend to respond any further to claims made by Mr Pesutto given his rejection of my offer, but I will make these additional comments to clarify assertions he has made tonight that this was 'not a real deal' and questions he has raised regarding the terms of my offer including matters relating to my preselection," she wrote. "My offer was real, and you may know it was accepted as real by Mr Pesutto due to the fact that he sought (and was granted) a 24 hour extension to Tuesday's initial deadline and then came back with a counter offer. If not 'real', why did he entertain it at all? "The counteroffer - relayed to me by intermediaries in the negotiations- was that all of my terms had been accepted except for the amount that Mr Pesutto was willing to pay. He instead proposed to accept my offer on the basis that he make a total payment of $1.2m only, rather than the full $2.3m sum as ordered by the Federal Court." Ms Deeming added she had subsequently presented her own counter offer, giving Mr Pessutto "the opportunity to pay $1.3m now, with a further 3 years to pay the balance". She claimed that offer was "almost immediately rejected", with the former Liberal leader then proceeding to cut "all communication". Mr Pesutto is believed to be 'hopeful' the Liberal Party's admin committee will sign off on a proposal that would see the former leader provided a loan of $1.5 million to settle the debt, although it remains unclear whether the 19-member body will back the idea.
