This initiative, part of the Ponlok Chomnes II program, aims to enhance Cambodia's policy research ecosystem by fostering evidence-based decision-making. The fellowship provided intensive training in policy analysis and public engagement, culminating in the publication of 'Small Ideas for Inclusive Futures,' which features 30 policy proposals.

Albanese Government's CGT Reforms May Lead to Capital Outflow and Impact Innovation

Albanese Government's CGT Reforms May Lead to Capital Outflow and Impact Innovation

The Albanese government in Australia is implementing changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) system, which are expected to cause a significant outflow of capital from the country. Starting July 1, 2027, the existing 50% CGT discount will be replaced with cost-base indexation for assets held over 12 months, and a minimum tax rate of 30% on net capital gains will be applied. This change is anticipated to drive investors to seek opportunities outside Australia, particularly in countries like New Zealand, which does not have a comprehensive CGT. Economists warn that these reforms could disincentivize domestic investment and innovation, as investors may redirect their capital to more favorable tax environments.

U.S. Tariff Threats Highlight Australia's Risk of Importing Slave-Made Goods

U.S. Tariff Threats Highlight Australia's Risk of Importing Slave-Made Goods

The United States has announced plans to impose a 12.5% tariff on Australian exports, citing Australia's failure to prevent the importation of goods made using forced labor. This move has exposed Australia's vulnerability to becoming a 'dumping ground' for slave-made goods, according to Justine Nolan, director of the Australian Human Rights Institute. The U.S. is pushing for Australia to adopt a forced labor import ban similar to its own, as well as those being implemented by the EU, Mexico, and Canada. Australia's current modern slavery framework, established in 2018, is criticized for being outdated and insufficient to address the scale of the problem. The U.S. trade representative, Jamieson Greer, justified the tariffs by stating that U.S. workers are forced to compete on an unlevel playing field internationally.
