In 2021, the Victorian state government attempted to solve the issue of electric vehicles (EVs) not paying fuel excise taxes, and thus contributing to road infrastructure, by introducing a per km tax. However, in Daryl Kerrigan-like fashion, two Victorian EV owners took the Victorian government to the high court last week and won. The outcome not only affects the ~15,000 registered EVs owners in Victoria but across Australia as other states were looking to impose a similar tax. Moreover, the story has also sparked debate on the contribution EV owners should be making to road infrastructure. Finally, the high court judgement also opens the door to challenges to the legality of other state taxes. This week, ABSI will seek to address all these questions.

It almost feels like a distant memory, but last year Australia’s energy grid was in crisis which resulted in the suspension of the pricing system after prices regularly hit the ceiling of A$15,100/MWh and subsequently had to be capped at A$300/MWh.
The topic of hydrogen as a future energy source has become a divisive topic with many touting its potential contribution to decarbonising the global economy while others controvert it as “hopium” and a waste of investment capital. Regardless of your stance, with over US$320 billion in projects announced in the past 12 months, it won’t be long till we discover if hydrogen has a role to play.

As the world shifts towards a greener, more sustainable future, the role of renewable energy and commodities has become increasingly important. The financial industry is adapting to these changes, with a growing focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements for businesses and generational wealth transfer. I have recently been writing about these developments and the importance of staying sector agnostic when it comes to investing.
At present, there are a significant number of macroeconomic and geopolitical movements that are creating an environment for investors to be understandably defensive or “risk-off”. Throughout the past 2 years, economic indicators have signalled there were issues. Coming off the back of the pandemic, fuel has been added to the infernos of already embattled economies, by way of supply chain constraints.
We tend to throw around the word unprecedented a lot lately. The feeling that certain events are unprecedented can be easy to agree with on an emotional level. However, the unprecedented experiences in my view can be somewhat explained by the fact that our current generation(s) and maybe 1 or 2 ahead of us have not experienced the level of change we have in our adult lives at present.

The XJO has broken away from its previous downward trend due to positive news from the US about the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which met expectations. Although the Australian CPI data has increased, we are still following the lead from the US in our equity market. Despite the downside from overseas, our index has remained strong, largely due to a boost in commodity prices.

Recent Chinese protests have sparked speculation that the nation may be considering abandoning its strict “zero covid policy.” Given that China has been unable to exit Covid properly since 2021, it appears that protestors are calling for a change in strategy.
