@anthmusic The most recent change of this scale to taxation was GST, Howard had the spine to take that to an election, should be a standard process on reflection.
"For our kids and grandkids to have the same opportunity"
Except the same opportunities to turn working capital in to wealth via investment and risk.
The calls for an election are valid. The blatant lying and contempt for the electorate is a disgrace.
#BREAKING Jim Chalmers has labelled One Nation and the coalition a “a 3 ringed circus”
He then says that the Albanese Government is addressing “legitimate concerns” about whether our “kids and grandkids will have the same opportunities that we had” without mentioning that he has just changed the negative gearing and CGT tax break in the last budget.
He then goes on to call the far radical left Albanese Government “the sensible centre” of politics.
What planet is this bloke living on?
Treasurer Jim Chalmers admitted in 2024 that he had requested advice on potential reforms to negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount.
Although the government denies any formal modelling was commissioned, it has not ruled out changes in the future.
At a recent press conference, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese repeatedly dodged questions about whether negative gearing was off the table.
“You can ask again. You get the same answer,” he said, avoiding a direct ‘no’ when asked if changes were off the table.
Mr Dutton said Labor’s refusal to provide clear answers on its tax agenda proved it could not be trusted.
“I think there is a lot at risk at this election in relation to new taxes that are likely to be imposed by a Labor-Greens government,” he said.
Interesting.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has branded the Albanese government’s proposed changes to superannuation as a “quasi-inheritance tax”, accusing Labor of pushing a “socialist agenda” that punishes Australians for building wealth.

Question... The housing crisis was already a serious problem late 2024 leading into the previous election, so.... Why didn't the Albanese government move to change CGT and neg gearing then and take it to an election instead of saying they wouldn't... If this will fix housing we were forced to suffer a further 12mths for what?
Optics are terrible.
None of this spin actually makes any sense.
Today is a sad day for Australian democracy because Labor has introduced the biggest tax changes in a generation without a mandate from the Australian people.
That's why @The_Nationals are today demanding the Prime Minister call an election.
This morning we made that call outside the People's House, outside the Parliament. Your Parliament should not impose more taxes on you without your consent.
An early election would give the Australian people a real choice.
A choice between a Labor party that wants to impose the biggest ever tax increase on Australians, or the Liberal and Nationals who will cut taxes, scrap net zero and reduce migration.
Was it something I said.
This is going straight to the pool room next to been blocked by Albanese and 75% or more of his cabinet, 99% of the teals and 80% of the Greens.
