My opinion on how to approach: Remove CGT discount >1 IP… Remove negative gearing >1 IP existing dwelling… No grandfathering… No residential property can be owned by company/trust… CGT discount/negative gearing applies only to NEW dwellings… No stamp duty only for NEW dwellings… CGT discount on all other investments… Problem solved! Rids the market of IP portfolio investors, exactly who government is targeting, politically acceptable!
Conspiracy theorists could say the Iran attack is directly related to the control of cheap oil supply for China/Russia. This could put an end to BRICS and secure USA hegemony for foreseeable future. I think USA let China have Taiwan eventually, as long as their (USA) future is secured.
@rationalaussie@PeterDutton_MP You are so far behind, you need to go hard core. Net zero immigration, actually provide a solution to housing not just lip service, and cap negative gearing to 1 investment property. If you don’t go really hard, you are gone!
I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.
@tobi Agree 100%. This is ridiculous from Canada, there is only ever going to be one winner here. They need to negotiate with the USA and bargain away the tariffs. It’s pay to play now!
@TMFScottP The question is will Dutton actually deliver on MAUGA (Make Australia Great Again) or just use a promise to get elected… After all he’s a politician that desperately wants to be reelected
