Agreed - the carve out for tech only is wild. Why look after venture fuelled tech (often funded by offshore LPs who pay no cgt in any event) and ignore sme businesses which largely carry the aussie economy?
Why would the CGT concessions be for tech only? Why not for all Aussie businesses? Why is tech more important than any other sector? And given the polling suggests voters clearly would have rejected these proposals at the last election, and there is patently no mandate to introduce them given the election was won on the many promises not to ever touch CGT and negative gearing, why not do the only honest and honourable thing - and put these radical changes to the test of an election? Either call one now or put them to the next election. Trying to railroad them home on the basis of a majority government that was voted in on the premise it would not make these changes is demonstrably non-democratic. It is also very unAustralian⦠At least give everyone a chance to vote on whether they want to overhaul the economy in this way. Even @DHughesy is up in arms about being rorted by the professional pollies who have never started a business or hired another Aussie in their lives
