Why do I keep banging on about the CGT changes on shares and ETFs?
Because as a millennial, we’ve spent our entire adult lives watching the goalposts move.
Housing out of reach. Cost of living through the roof.
We were told to stop buying lattes. It was the avocado toast. Just work harder. Be responsible, invest for your future. So we did.
We invested in ETFs and shares, one of the very few accessible ways an ordinary PAYG worker could build wealth when property was already out of reach.
Investing became simple, low cost and accessible thanks to technology and apps. Millions of Australians started investing.
Now the rules are changing there too.
It feels like every time our generation finds one of the few ways to get ahead, someone decides that’s the next thing to tax more.
And somehow taxing gains on ETFs and shares more heavily is all packaged up and sold as the solution to housing affordability and intergenerational wealth… yet those who benefited under the old rules are grandfathered. 🙄🫠
Restore Britain’s policy on lockdown is clear. It was the darkest time in recent British history, a time where our freedoms were trampled over all in the name of bent ‘science’.
For some COVID, was a dangerous disease. And the full power of the state should have been deployed to protect those people. The elderly, the vulnerable.
Instead of spending hundreds of billions of closing our economy down, sentencing thousands of young healthy people to death and ruining tens of millions of lives - we should have protected those two groups, the elderly and the vulnerable, with everything that we had.
If we could shut the country down, we could have had protected those in genuine danger. Obviously.
Millions of youngsters had years ripped away from them. Lives destroyed. For what? To avoid getting a nasty cough?
Sweden was right. Tegnell was right. We should have followed their lead.
A Restore Britain Government would take steps to reverse the damage, as much as possible.
All criminal convictions for non-violent breaches of lockdown rules would be overturned and quashed. Nobody will have a criminal record for breaking laws that should have never existed in the first place. Every related fine will be refunded.
Restore Britain MPs will issue a formal statement and apology from Parliament, recognising the damage lockdowns caused to the families, businesses and our society.
The British state got it wrong. We will admit that.
Targeted amendments to existing laws will be passed, making it illegal to suspend basic freedoms without ultra-intensive parliamentary oversight and strict time limits.
Tax breaks to the most affected industries will be implemented - people forget that the damage continues today. Particularly for hospitality. We will help.
We will remove all remaining COVID relics from this country. Every social distancing sign will be torn down, every two metre sticker will be scrubbed away. I detest seeing it all.
An independent commission filled with overseas experts will be established to review all SAGE communications, predictions and data used to justify lockdown. We will ask Anders Tegnell to head that commission. We will release all modelling and all communications, unredacted, and aim to prosecute anyone who deliberately distorted the statistics to push a damaging pro-lockdown agenda.
Restore Britain will launch a full, independent inquiry into the COVID vaccine - how it was approved, and how it was forced on the entire healthy population. How did ministers like Reform’s Zahawi even dare to suggest that children can overrule their parents in order to take the vaccine? It is sick.
The current vaccine compensation scheme will be scrapped, and we will open a new system which speeds up claims, increases the amount paid and has no inbuilt bias. To those people who lost their lives because of the COVID vaccine, and there have been many, the state will properly compensate those families. Properly compensate.
And, for what is worth which is very little, the state will apologise.
Vaccine passports. Sick. Sick. Sick. The most evil policy inflicted on the British people - all supported by Conservative, Reform and Labour politicians.
I didn’t take the COVID vaccine, I felt I didn’t need it. That was my choice. I was prepared to have my life disrupted. Millions of others though felt blackmailed into receiving that jab to go on holiday or whatever else. Anyone involved in the implementation of that scheme should be ashamed of themselves - including many of the politicians in Reform's top team.
State workers who lost their jobs because of vaccine mandates will be properly compensated. What happened to them was wrong, and Restore Britain will fix it.
We will be honest with the British people about what happened in 2020 and 2021.
Lockdown was the biggest scandal of modern times.
Restore Britain will have the courage to finally admit that, and take steps to rectify the vast damage caused.
There is now a serious political party willing to face up to the truth. I hope you consider supporting us.
The Australians who were forced to get the vaccine, were injured by the vaccine or sacked because they wouldn't get the vaccine - and all others hurt by draconian COVID measures - deserve JUSTICE and closure from a full-scale Covid Royal Commission.
@JohnRuddick2@JohnGrahamALP@ChrisRathMLC@david4wyong@ChrisMinnsMP John, can we please have 130(+)kph roads too? Makes no sense having 100-110 in this day and age. Also, a wider speed range on low-level speeding fines so that people are actually driving, not staring at their speedo.
Safe and effective?
Let the court cases begin.
The former Prime Minister, the Covid-era Premiers, the Health Ministers, and all their advisors need to be prosecuted for mandates that led to the forced used of a dangerous, poorly tested, rushed drug.
Scott Morrison wants us to worry about his mental health - but he didn't care about the mental health of millions of Australians forced, threatened, and coerced into Covid experimentation under threat of losing their jobs.
Lockdown benefits ‘a drop in the bucket compared to the costs’.
Recall Australia's 'top economists' backed these obviously destructive, stupid policies in two public letters in 2020.
Shameful. The evidence will only get worse.

NEW - Former UK health secretary Matt Hancock wanted to "frighten the pants off everyone" into complying with ever-changing lockdown rules.

We’ve been fighting a battle to protect patients from fearful doctors for 3 years. It ends this year. No more kids wearing PPE to see dying parents. No more limitations on visiting elderly relatives in aged care. No more bad news delivered by masked faces. No more.
