@JEChalmers A new company ≠ a new business

It’s only a legal structure.

Carry on.

@DrCraigEmerson @730 Bold post considering the shameless lies from the Albanese Chalmers Labor Government. Well done Emmo 👏🏼

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

It would be cheaper to build new roads, railways, pipelines and ports to avoid the Strait of Hormuz at this point.

What a mess.

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

@SincDavidson Yes, and the marginal valuation overstatement by the agency is unnoticed or not worth challenging.
They set the rate, administer the method, and run the appeal process. Completely stacked against taxpayers.

Rich World Net Zero has a tiny impact

Even if the US, EU, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the rest of the rich world go Net Zero by 2050

it will only reduce global temperatures by 0.10°C (0.18°F) in 2100

Still, it will cost $100s of trillions

The Australian economy is cactus
It's just a voter importation machine blowing a housing bubble that's maxed out household debt
The implosion is going to be catastrophic

[Compounding Capital @Ausproperty95]

The UK, Canada and Australia have forgotten how to grow the economic pie.

Too busy trying to re-divide the pie, because the can't grow it.

totally normal
6.85% per annum
fake CPI has averaged 2.66%
broad money supply 8.32%
it's all currency debasement

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

For 35 years, governments have signed dozens of climate treaties, from Kyoto to Paris to COP after COP.

Trillions of dollars have been spent. Entire industries reshaped. Yet none of it has had any measurable impact on the climate system, or even slowed the rise of atmospheric CO2.

If this were really about environmental results it would go down as the biggest policy failure in history. But measured another way, it has been wildly successful - at enriching politicians, bureaucrats, and the well-connected who profit from subsidies, carbon credits and green mandates.

The planet hasn't changed, the balance sheets of political opportunists have.

The Ridiculous Spending Hidden in the Federal Budget

What is your favourite thing about the budget?

Watch our latest video:

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

Gerard, I’m curious, what is your party’s proposed top marginal tax rate? That’s where it matters for CGT. You are correct, capital return and income return differences do not matter if you suggest a low top rate of under 20%.

I looked at the People First website site which suggests tax policy at the low-mid income end. What is the PF policy re: TMR?

BTW - you are incorrect about ‘houses’ not depreciating. Buildings definitely depreciate. Land may appreciate.

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

Siri, what is hubris?

[The Australian @australian]

Jim Chalmers is predicting Australians will ‘over time’ forget the anger they feel about broken promises in the May budget as investors say the CGT carve-out was too narrow and would curtail investment. Buget 2026: https://t.co/GgannUqXmr

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

Wrong way, turn back. This @CISOZ Paper examines Australia’s current economic settings & direction, contrasting on the choices and reforms by Hawke/Keating. Those reforms now being unwound, underpinned the greatest era of prosperity in modern Australia.

@Mon4Kooyong This is not a win. The entire proposal should be rejected for the anti-investment; anti-entrepreneurialism and anti-aspiration train wreck that it is.
Being less bad, is not good. Don’t gaslight people.

[Geoff Wilson @GeoffWilsonWAM]

Monique you are totally delusional if you think this is a win. Don’t gaslight the Australian people like @JEChalmers and @AlboMP The new CGT should not include any Australian businesses. These announcements are window dressing on @AustralianLabor s economic vandalism.
The new CGT will crush aspiration, deter productive investment & hammer the very people trying to build a better life in Kooyong. Stand up for all Australians and STOP this insane CGT on all Australians businesses!

Businesses will need an accountant with PHD in Actuarial Science to navigate this headf#%k of a tax policy.

[Jim Chalmers MP @JEChalmers]

The next steps in implementing our tax reform agenda are all about providing more certainty for investors, more support for small business, and also more incentives for innovation.

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

@ALeighMP You are spending a lot more time worrying about PHON than about ordinary Australians 🙄

[Sam Kennard @SamKSS]

My cousin bought a Tesla Model X eight years ago for $280K. Now he can’t get $80K for it. $200K in 8 years. That’s $25K per year depreciation; or $500 per week 😳
