‘The rich are getting richer and the poor pay for it': Trump's new bill critiqued by Democrats

University of California Professor of Political Science Louis DeSipio says the American leader's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is achieving 'most of what President Trump promised in his campaign'. 'In the past when Republicans and certainly Democrats have passed tax cuts, they've provided resources for poorer people … this one doesn't do that,' Mr DeSipio told Sky News Australia. 'The rich are getting richer and the poorer are paying for it and that's not a healthy system where America is already pretty divided.'

‘Pick up the pace': National Housing Accord ‘fell short' last year as demand increased

Housing Industry Association Managing Director Jocelyn Martin says the National Housing Accord to deliver 1.2 million homes over five years 'fell short' last year, and needs to 'pick up the pace' to satisfy Australia's housing demand. 'It's 12 months on since the announcement of 1.2 million homes over five years, which on average is 240 thousand homes a year,' Ms Martin told Sky News Australia. 'Last year we fell well short of that – we were just shy of 170 thousand homes, so definitely going to need to pick up the pace if we're going to even come close to building the amount of homes that Australia needs to satisfy the demand.'

‘Relatively cohesive': Donald Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' will ‘reindustrialise the US'

United States Studies Centre Honorary Associate Harry Melkonian says US President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is 'relatively cohesive' with plans to 'reindustrialise the US'. 'This bill is so complex, they've taken away the special tax breaks for buying electric cars, but they have now granted deductions for auto loans for the purchase of any automobile that's made in the US,' Dr Melkonian told Sky News Australia. 'It's all relatively cohesive with his plan to reindustrialise the US.'
