Australians are doing it tough. Inflation is through the roof, food and fuel prices keep climbing, and power bills are out of control. People need cheap power, a reduction in their fuel bills, less income tax and solutions to the housing and food crises.

Self-funded retirees have spent their working lives paying taxes, building businesses, investing in property, and contributing to the economy—yet when it comes time for retirement, they’re still being slugged with tax. These retirees don’t rely on government support, they don’t receive a pension, and they aren’t a burden on the taxpayer. Instead, they’re using their own money to fund their retirement while also investing in Australian property and businesses that provide homes and jobs for others.

One Nation will lift the tax-free threshold to $35,000 for self-funded retirees who are over 67 and not receiving any form of government payment.

Party leader Senator Pauline Hanson said self-funded retirees often invested in Australian property and companies to fund their retirements and should be given greater capacity to do so after contributing to the economy for decades and not receiving any benefits in their retirement.

“These people are hardly any burden on the Australian taxpayer and through their retirement investments they are providing homes and jobs for Australians the government does not need to fund,” Senator Hanson said. “I think they deserve a bit more back for this contribution, which is one of the factors behind this policy.

“Another factor is that it will help incentivise more people to save more for their retirement, potentially reducing government spending on pensions, and free up more Australian capital to be invested in Australian property and Australian shares.”

Senator Hanson said One Nation had opposed Bill Shorten’s policy to impose double taxation on retirees’ share dividends in 2019, and would continue to oppose Anthony Albanese’s plan to increase tax on superannuation balances over $3 million.

“We should be incentivising success, not penalising it, and our policy to lift the tax-free threshold for self-funded retirees over 67 is very much in keeping with this view,” she said.

“One Nation policies for 2025 Federal election released this year—income splitting and joint tax return filing for couples with children, enabling aged pensioners and veterans to work and earn without it affecting their payments, and lifting the tax-free threshold for self-funded retirees—are all aimed at providing much-needed tax relief in Labor’s cost-of-living crisis.

“They address other pressing issues too: reducing the need to import skilled labour from overseas; addressing workers shortages in critical areas like education and health; reducing the childcare burden on taxpayers; encouraging couples to start families earlier; and reducing immigration to address Labor’s housing crisis

“I look forward to releasing more new policies soon as it’s not enough to provide tax relief without significant spending reforms.”

A health service directive this week issued by the Queensland Government banning the prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors under 18 should lead to an immediate pause on the treatments across Australia.One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said the ban had vindicated her party’s calls for an inquiry into the alarming increase in Australian children being treated with the drugs.

“I congratulate the Queensland Government for heeding the increasing evidence of the risks these treatments pose to children and banning them,” Senator Hanson said. “Other governments in Australia need to follow suit immediately.

“New Zealand, the United Kingdom and other European countries, and jurisdictions in the United States have all woken up to the risks of these treatments and the lack of clinical evidence supporting their use.

“In December last year I called for a national ban on puberty blockers for minors following the finding – after a lengthy, comprehensive inquiry and review – by the UK’s independent Commission on Human Medicines they posed an ‘unacceptable safety risk’ to children. The UK Labour government then immediately banned their use for children under 18.

“For years now One Nation has been highlighting the risks and life-long consequences of treating children with these drugs, and moving inquiries into this issue in the Senate. Each and every time Labor, the Greens, crossbench senators Payman, Thorpe, Pocock, Lambie and Tyrrell and even some Coalition senators have used their numbers to block these inquiries.

“Their opposition to an inquiry is hypocritical to say the least. They claim they want to protect ‘trans’ children but they ignore the evidence of the harm these treatments are doing to these same kids. They chant ‘trans rights are human rights’ as if children’s rights are not human rights too.

“Now that a government in Australia has banned puberty blockers for minors, they cannot ignore this evidence any longer.

“The ‘gender affirmation’ approach to treating children as young as 12 with these dangerous drugs is obviously driven by political ideology, not clinical best practice.

“We’ve seen gender clinics – such as the Cairns Sexual Health Service – prescribe puberty blockers to children as young as 12 with no medical support and without the knowledge or consent of parents. We’ve seen experts – like Queensland’s Jillian Spencer – sacked and even threatened with prison terms for speaking out against the ‘gender affirmation’ approach. Dr Spencer has been vindicated too.

“We must ban these treatments for children under 18 right across Australia.”
