@SkyNewsAust Australia doesn’t have an intergenerational equity crisis it has a wealth generation CRISIS across all generations - caused solely by high taxes, high regulation and high government spending! #auspol
CGT : Submissions to Senate Enquiry
Submissions that have been made public can be found here

I found the one by Prof David Stern of ANU interesting in that he had to explain the basics of reinvesting earnings to grow the capital of a business which effectively means you are getting taxed twice if you then get no capital gain discount.
I found myself in sympathy with Prof Stern as it's like explaining the basics of 1 + 1 = 2 to a group of morons. I mean goodness me, why do they not see the self-evident?
Clearly basic economics should be mandatory at school.
The AFR discussed a couple of other submissions, viz

I expect a larger number of additional submissions will appear tomorrow on the website as I have certainly made one and do not see it on the register.
@Ben_Davison1 And Labor just introduced taxes that disproportionately attack young, low and middle class and grandfather the rich. Labor are a disgrace! Everyone gets whacked by the Labor tax!
Australia's current CGT rate is high by international standards. To be globally competitive: we need to lower the CGT rate; and NOT INCREASE CGT to 147% above the international average!
Say NO to the biggest tax increase this century in Australia.
Please retweet this message.
Spot on. Labor’s CGT changes are economic self-harm.
This isn’t ‘fairness’ — it’s a direct assault on aspiration, startups, retirees, and productive investment in businesses. Australia already sits in the high side for CGT. Pushing effective rates higher makes us uncompetitive and kills the very capital formation we need for growth.
Say NO to the biggest anti-investment tax grab this century. Grandfather existing assets and incentivise new productive capital instead.
@GregMarSci Labor are the ones that are smashing workers, young people, low and middle class with the worlds highest capital gains tax and trust taxes. These don’t affect billionaires!!
@QuentinDempster The politics didn’t change, Australians were lied to and tricked. If the politics have changed go to an election now and get the mandate!!! Labor won’t, because the politics probably haven’t changed!!
