@MarkTattam@AG_bona_fide@TheKouk OP: "You can't put a positive spin on it except that it means that a significant deflationary pulse will soon hit the economy making the inflation rate returning to target in 2027 a near certainty."
In other words rates will fall again. First home buyers just need to wait 6-9mo
@TheKouk When prices were rising fast, before the falls started, were we getting $4.5 billion richer each day?
It was a fugazi. "Wealth" without producing anything of value. Don't cry when it disappears a few months later.
@AvidCommentator Re-implementing negative gearing would be a big mistake from Pauline and may cause her wave of support to decline. Just bring back CGT discount on other assets, businesses & stocks. Scrap Trust tax changes.
@fieldo85@hamsammichs6@AvidCommentator Small business owners - Australia's wealthy π
These people employ. Increased taxes reduces their ability to do that. There are wider economic impacts. This is not a good change in its current form.
@fieldo85@hamsammichs6@AvidCommentator Ahh. Believing treasury forecasts. Because all their other forecasts about economic impacts of their changes have been spot on!
It's way more than 5% of small business owners using a trust. It's closer to 1 in 6, and 3 out of 5 for small businesses in housing industry.
@fieldo85@hamsammichs6@AvidCommentator You're the one who lives in a bubble if you think these are only used by the wealthy. The majority of small business owners have one.
@John_Speed That really isn't much for a deal to fall through on. ~2 months of rev assuming no growth. Less if its growing. What price band was the deal in if you don't mind? < $100K, $100-$500K, $500K-$1M, $1M+
