@AlboMP No you haven’t. You’ve taxed people more without any correlation to house affordability. Stop lying.

@ShaneDunneAU I’ve had enough.

@tigertyron @Richmond_FC @nibhealth @ShaneDunneAU I’m ruling myself out for the rest of this season. 38 year member with reserved seat. I won’t attend another game.

I will only renew next year if they do a full review, with external experts.

@RalphyHeraldSun Jon i would love someone to ask the club what reference and background checks they did on Serpell before they hired him.

@FinancialReview Why in the hell is Danielle Wood driving tax policy. Every change this government proposes is straight from her wishlist.

[Listener Dan @DanSmith18]

@Jonesracing82 @AlboMP He’ll say yes now but you can guarantee he’ll change his position when the time comes.

@FinancialReview it’s an extraordinary irony when the most divisive prime minister I can ever remember lectures the population on the politics of division

@PaulZauch But will they learn?

@tevordoley22 💯 this

@havecankles Take a look at her policies.

I'm sick of @AlboMP , @JEChalmers, @ClareONeilMP telling us that they are making "HARD" decisions in our best interest. FFS, the downgrade of Australia and Australians lives speaks for itself. These people are responsible for the downgrade.Their gaslighting is disgusting!

This insane CGT must be stopped.

ALP GASLIGHTING re INVESTORS vs ‘WAGE EARNERS’ . A scenario under current tax laws . Question:
Do a calculation on two workers both earning $100,000 pa. One spends all the net wages, the other saves and invests $20,000 in fully franked shares each year for 30 years. Assume the shares return 5% each year and appreciate in value by the same amount. Who over the 30 years would have paid the most in total taxes.
Result:
The investor pays significantly more total tax — about $1.096 million in personal tax vs the spender’s $683,000.
Key Details (Simplified Model)
• Both earn $100k gross salary pa. Annual salary tax (incl. 2% Medicare): $22,782 each.
• Spender total tax (30 years): $683,460 (salary only).
• Investor:
• Salary tax: $683,460.
• Extra personal tax on grossed-up dividends: +$412,782.
• Total personal tax: $1,096,242.
• Portfolio after 30 years: ~$1.395 million (from $600k contributions + growth).
• Total cash dividends received: ~$835k.
• Franking credits (company tax already paid): ~$358k.
The investor generates far more tax revenue overall for the government (personal + company tax) due to compounding investment income, even with franking credits offsetting some liability. Capital gains remain unrealised (no CGT paid yet). Real-world factors like reinvestment, rule changes, or inflation would increase the gap further.

@GrahamY @IanHanke It’s also the ideology of the Productivity Commissioner.

@TaxpayersParty @cmkusher 100%

@David_McMahon75 The deliberate attempts to conflate tax on capital with tax on income is getting boring. The problem is the level of ignorance means voters are falling for it.

[Listener Dan @DanSmith18]

@RobToThheOz @CryptoRogue31 But you assume gains should be taxed the same as income. The investor pays tax on income as well as the gain. Stop trying to hold the nurse out as being the same.

[Listener Dan @DanSmith18]

@SimonBanksHB Yet here I am, paying more tax than ever before. And you still want more.

[Listener Dan @DanSmith18]

@RobToThheOz @JackJon09586057 Of course that’s the intent.
