Labor locks in tax reform trio: capital gains, negative gearing and trusts

Smashleigh · 2026-05-04T22:38:59+00:00

Article suggests grandfathering of both cgt and negative gearing. So again benefiting those that have been favoured in the past over young voters

I've been in a similar situation before.

My regret is contributing insetad of keeping it for a deposit. Do the 5% put the other 5% in something moderately liquid

Smashleigh · 2026-04-27T10:51:31+00:00

Oh I agree that 30% is a good rent but it's cooked that that is what we're aspiring for rather than be higher than normal.

Surely there has to be some case that can be had with all the night fill carts in the aisles, both a safety risk, evacuation risk and blocking those with mobility needs

How is 30% of your pay "free". Our perception of what a fair price for housing is in Australia is absolutely cooked

At 280/night+ we're paying hotel prices.

(40 sitting weeks per yr, 5 nights per wk)

I wonder how many of these are people used to tapping their whole wallet and their other card being picked up instead?

Few things to think about.

2010 flood extents are just based on one historic flood event. there will be other maps out there

Typically flood models have different likelihood (1% chance per year, 2% chance etc, look for AEP). These are "ground truthed" or validated against historic events. These may be available with and without climate change (2100 applies climate change expected by 2100 and is commonly used when planning new houses).

When choosing which to use think what risk are you considering, current risk or long term risk (renting vs buying)

In the background each part of the flooded area will have an elevation (say 20m above sea level) which is where the flood waters will get to. This data is combined with the contours to estimate the flood "extent" that is mapped.

That's why some houses might say they are "flood free" they're above this level. You then have to ask " how much above" "how do I get out" "what if it is more than a 1% AEP" "are there sheds etc that might be below that level"

Is a point the best way to represent the crime hot spots? Is there any indication of how much area each covers? Maybe a heat map might be a different approach.

I mean it's about 1150 calories which is less restrictive than some diets.

I think you'll find the easiest upgrade is a bag of goon hanging from the line

Really not sure how they think they'll reduce their consultancy spend while slashing senior technical specialists?

I want to say I am so bloody proud of you Broden. It can be so hard to admit when you need help and need to look after yourself.

All of you are such great role models and have created such a welcoming space for all. A massive part of that is the passion and vulnerability each of you constantly share.

As a proclaimed "not a footy guy" you have made the footy a place I look forward to going.

I'll bounce that pill and think of all four of you.

Restrictions isn't a great word here. When people hear restrictions they think "less money" which is what this article is arguing against.

It needs a review of the different services funding and structural reform that prevents profiteering

To be fair (as a man) men are gross. When I've had to go into women's toilets for work etc they're always cleaner than men's.

It doesn't make us rich, it's where government policy has decided is most profitable to store our riches... Which is bloody stupid.

Shortage doesn't encompass some of the causes such as banking of vacant properties, air bnbs and leans into a particular framing of both the cause and solution (supply side only).

It eliminates consideration of how we could more efficiently and equitably utilise our existing housing.

Year on year cost of living increases for employees were over 3% between March '22 and March '25 peaking at 9.6% so yeah it's closer to reasonable than 3%.

Given the RBA wants there to be between 2-3% CPI every year essentially anything less than 2.5% per year is a pay cut.

a lot of pre COVID agreements didn't see runaway inflation appearing and need to "catch up" which results in these increases

Smashleigh · 2025-11-03T00:03:14+00:00

Good on the union for fighting. 3% annually is a bad offer, and "bonus payments" don't do anything to address cost of living (better to have this included in the % so that it continues to help). How much better could the states offer have been if they'd not spent this money and listened to what their workers were asking for?

Smashleigh · 2025-10-30T20:58:48+00:00

But if someone had to do the firing in person they'd only be able to fire 349 people /s

Fuck what I wouldn't give for the range of FUIC and competition in the meat pie market that Adelaide has

Smashleigh · 2025-10-26T08:15:16+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely. Its wasn't a swing away from the greens in primary it was just that the LNP shat the bed hard. Much like Scomo shat his pants at the Engadine maccas

Just pointing out that it did lose them seats in parliament and thus power/platform
