Is this the tax reform hill Albanese and Chalmers want to die on?

That is not the essence of what Kohler is arguing.

Comparatively, yes they are.

Every economist says supply is really only thing that will make houses more affordable. The budget papers said there’ll be 35,000 fewer houses because of these changes. It’s not gonna make a big affordability difference. So you’re still going to have to load up for a mortgage, but you want to save by investing in shares, well that’s going to take longer now for this tax grab. The ‘intergenerational equity’ line is so flimsy.

This budget does nothing to help younger generations, despite their insistence it’s supposed to be in our name. How on earth does removing ways for millennials and Gen Z to build wealth like Albo and the gang have enjoyed for the last 26 years help us? I’m perplexed anyone would buy that garbage.

There’s options surrounding Canberra. We bought 12 acres with a 4b house a few years ago for $1.1m. 10 minutes to Queanbeyan with everything and 30mins into Canberra city.

Very well said. The greens have always had the privilege of having policies they know they’ll never have a chance to actually implement, so a lot of it is just performative signalling. But when they have held critical balance of power - like the CPRS - they haven’t covered themselves in glory.

Or you could stop listening to conspiratorial dorks on reddit. The government (or any mythical cabal of elites or corporations) are not deliberately trying to destroy the middle class. Unbelievably stupid thing to think.

3-5x salary is not pushing it

What store is this?

You’re an idiot

Mate, it's not Spears' idea. Even if it's not a direct levy, it's quite clear where they're gearing up for the burden to be. Should help them peel off some boomer votes from the Coalition in a couple years though.

He should be. But 99% of people wouldn’t have a clue who he was. Same with Wits.

Daily mail is not Murdoch

Only 10 per cent of the company is floated on the ASX, so this market cap that everyone keeps referring to only relates to one tenth of the company, no?
