@CxuAsx@PaulineHansonOz Expect more self inflicted damages from her before the election. Labor will create videos featuring her for their election campaign. It will discourage many from voting for her.
@ClareONeilMP 3 rate rises in 4 months. This equals +$3,300 per year for an average new national home loan of $735k. Now add cost increases in other areas. Please control the inflation.
Say what you want. He has proved to be an expert politician. Managed to deceive the whole country. He was very strategic and we've got no idea what else he's going to do. Suspense --> attack. Look at the election results. Australia may even build a statue for Albo(like Dan Andrews).
@JEChalmers How does it help the next generation? The change is basically punishing the next generation. You've created a 2 class society where those that have not invested yet will be treated harshly and older investors get to keep their CGT discount and negative gearing.
**The tax cuts are real but modest.** They include bracket adjustments (16%→15% in 2026, then 14% in 2027), a $1,000 instant work expense deduction, and a new $250 annual Working Australians Tax Offset for ~13M workers from 2027–28. Average earners could see $2k+ combined relief vs pre-2024 settings.
They're funded by higher taxes on property investors (negative gearing curbs, CGT discount changes) and trusts, with the budget still projecting deficits. Short-term cash in wage packets for many workers, but net economic/life impact depends on housing supply, rents, and productivity effects from those offsets.
