What a night. Get Ahead has officially launched in Sydney. 🚀
We stand for an Australia where hard work, saving and taking a risk give you a chance to get ahead. And the next generation gets that chance too.
That means:
✅ Rolling back the capital gains tax increase on everything but housing.
✅ Scrapping the family trust tax before it starts.
Now we’re taking the fight around the country.

The launch of @GetAheadAus in Sydney on Wednesday night is a reminder that many others are just as alarmed about Australia's economic trajectory as I am.
Australia desperately needs bipartisan advocacy on behalf of entrepreneurs, small business owners, savers, and share investors. We need to urgently repeal the disastrous change in CGT rules for business investment before our economy is harmed any further.
Much respect and gratitude to all involved including @parnellpalme, @DerekFranc90653, @chrisbrycki, @chrisdbbradley, @GeoffWilsonWAM
A government that cannot control its spending should think carefully before reaching further into the savings of people trying to build a future, writes investment manager Geoff Wilson. https://t.co/4amP7fIgaT
I stand to benefit from @AlboMP and @JEChalmers' capital gains tax changes, and are fighting them.
They will make it harder for young Australians to invest, build businesses and get ahead.
That is why I am chairing @GetAheadAus. We cannot allow aspiration to be taxed out of existence. @FinancialReview
Get Ahead is being launched to defend the freedoms and opportunities secured by those who came before us, and to protect them for generations to come.
The proposed capital gains tax changes would place Australia among the highest-taxed jurisdictions in the developed world for property, shares and investment. These measures will inflict serious damage on efficient capital formation, punish enterprise and risk-taking, and undermine the long-term investment on which Australia’s prosperity depends.
@GetAheadAus has been created to ensure that all Australians get a “fair go” and that the rewards of hard work, investment and aspiration are protected for the next generation.
It's time to stand up for Australia's future.

I should be cheering the government’s 2026 capital gains tax changes. As a fund manager, they benefit my business. They make direct investment less attractive and tilt the field toward pooled structures and income over growth.
This isn’t about me it’s about every Australian with aspiration and ambition.
These changes risk steering capital away from the Australian businesses that need investment to grow. The ASX says 8.3 million Australians hold on-exchange investments. Young people trying to invest, build businesses and get ahead will pay the price.
I plan to fight them and please join us all at https://t.co/qCnQ939Jrq
New polling commissioned by @GetAheadAus shows 47% of Victorians surveyed believe the federal budget has made it harder to build wealth, while 42% now view state Labor less favourably.
The government must understand that Australians want policies that reward hard work and aspiration, not punish them.

A terrific launch for @GetAheadAus in Sydney.
We want an Australia where hard work, saving and taking a risk give people a fair chance to get ahead and where the next generation has that same opportunity.
Now we’re taking the conversation around the country. Join the revolution https://t.co/qCnQ939Jrq
Get Ahead has launched.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Sydney.
Hard work should pay off. Saving should be worth it. And the next generation should have every chance to build a better life.
That’s why we’re campaigning to roll back the capital gains tax increase on everything but housing and scrap the family trust tax before it starts.
Sydney was just the start. Where should we come next?

Special thanks to Geoff Wilson & all for organising @GetAheadAus outstanding launch last night. Reminder we now have world's highest tax on investing, an effective tax rate of 70% on share market investing, making it uninvestable for the 9 m who own shares. That's the maths! ⬇️
