This is my reply to our federal energy minister Chris Bowen, who’s been waving around this report making a host of false claims about it.
It shows things are getting worse, not better, and the batteries being added won’t help.

Marking 60 years since the Battle of Long Tan, Ben Roberts-Smith claims Australia has failed to properly support its Afghanistan veterans.
The current support systems is not doing enough for those who served 🇦🇺.
Ben Roberts-Smith says Australia is failing its Afghanistan veterans.
I agree 💯

This is incredible footage.
A police officer arrives at a burning house, kicks open the door, and rescues a mother and her children.
You can see the moment he mentally decides to risk his life right before he runs into the fire.
Heroes walk among us.
Thanks @MarkDiStef for the free branding in today’s @FinancialReview column. “Chief tax whinger” has a nice ring to it. Next time you’re out at Centennial Park, look for the bloke in @WilsonAssetMgmt kit and cycling cleats. Happy to buy you a coffee and explain the difference between actual tax reform and the current mess created by your buddies @AlboMP & @JEChalmers . As you know it’s economic vandalism. .#ScrapTheCGTHeist #JoinWARonCGT
"Mainstream Australians are not in the minority."
IPA polling shows:
🇦🇺 77% are proud of the Australian flag.
🇦🇺 75% want to keep it unchanged.
🇦🇺 61% believe Australia should have one national flag.

This is the real cost of @AlboMP & @JEChalmers ’s war on capital and aspiration. Wreckage from the new illogical,nearly double, #CGT .
Two more Australian founders securing funding… then immediately leaving Australia for the US.
Superstat. Hyro. Straight out the door.
#CGT changes that punish success. Higher taxes on the ambitious. A system that makes it harder to build here than leave.
How many more have to go before this government admits what it’s doing to the next generation of Australian companies? #ScrapTheCGTHeist #JoinWARonCGT @stevechapman424
Well said Michael. Completely agree. Australia is too good a country to be subjected to this.
Changing #CGT settings randomly, without consultation, and in a way that hits productive investment is economic vandalism.
If the target was residential property, limit the changes there and take the win @AlboMP . Extending them further is a direct assault on Australia’s capital formation, startups and aspiration. The long-term damage will be real and significant to all Australians. #ScrapTheCGTHeist #JointhewaronCGT
You should all be incredibly concerned. Are you? The new insane #CGT hike = disaster
Scrap the #CGT changes on Australian businesses now or watch jobs, savings and growth get destroyed. We’re all in it together #StopTheCGT
Stephen, you know better than that. A survey bounces to less negative and the ASX going up doesn’t erase the structural damage this Budget has and is doing.
You also know that @AlboMP & @JEChalmers #CGT assault on Australian businesses is a direct attack on productive equity investment, startups and Australia’s capital markets.
Confidence built over decades can be destroyed in one Budget. That’s not delusion, that’s economic reality.
🚨 The Weekend @australian front page calls it: @JEChalmers ’ tax “fix” is a non-starter.
@FinancialReview Chanticleer confirms: “Australian fund managers are largely ropeable about capital gains tax changes, government spending and the superannuation performance test, all of which they think are crimping ASX returns.”
This is exactly what we’ve been warning about @AlboMP & @JEChalmers ’s war on capital is destroying aspiration, investment, and returns for everyday Australians.
Enough. Scrap these damaging changes and deliver real pro-growth reform. We must all fight and we will win this fight.
#AbolishTheCGTWar #AspirationNotTaxation
It’s preposterous. The average Australian citizen now needs a team of accountants and experts just to navigate the regulatory maze its Parliaments have created.
Multiply that across dozens of regulatory bodies and you get a system that will trap the unwary.
Decades of politicians have created an overly complex, overly regulated society where obeying the law feels almost impossible for normal people.
This isn’t freedom, it’s control.
Spot on Derek
The PBO is right to call out the dodgy modelling in @AlboMP & @JEChalmers ‘s Budget. Australia now has one of the world’s highest effective capital gains tax rates at up to 60%+ pure economic vandalism that punishes aspiration, investment and entrepreneurship.
We must reverse the insane new #CGT before it does permanent damage to our economy.
#AbolishTheCGTTaxHike
A land of aspiration and ambition.
A land that gives everyone a fair go.
So then create an environment that does that.
@AlboMP s Government is doing the complete opposite with their changes to Capital Gains Tax.
We need policies that encourage aspiration and ambition not punish it. #ScrapTheCGTHeist #StopTheCGT

My six predictions for Australia’s investment future, as a result of the new CGT, on @LivewireMarkets are not pretty.
• More tax-driven investing
• Less share ownership
• A smaller ASX
• More foreign takeovers
• Fewer entrepreneurs
• Young Australians worse off
The CGT changes are economic vandalism. Read why here: https://t.co/hV6deYHyBx”
It’s all Hogwash and Geoff Francis via @FinancialReview just confirmed it: @AlboMP & @JEChalmers ‘s new CGT can push effective tax rates on retail investors up to 80%. Their own comments says it will "bias retail investors heavily against risk-taking." That's not reform, that's economic vandalism. #ScrapTheCGTHeist #hogwash
