@Ben_Davison1 Why have a 30% floor on cgt if it’s not going to be applied? It is going to be applied and those earning under 45k are going to be disproportionately impacted. Plenty of people live off investment earnings only.

The Wilsons are trying to convince people that the 30% tax on Capital Gains is unfair to “low income earners” A reminder that the 30% tax on wages applies from $45,000 (minimum wage approx) to $135,000 (35% ABOVE average wages) No one on less than minimum wage is an “investor”

@mikjcal @TMFScottP Why do you need an incentive? If you have capital, you have to decide which is the best way to deploy it based on risk/reward. Not tax treatment.

I’m disappointed they scrapped the CGT discount on shares. Remove it from housing, but then also removing to from shares literally removed the incentive for anyone to use investments to build wealth. Especially given the amount of younger people who invest in ETFs given the huge popularity of micro investing apps.

Really disappointed by the overreach of taxing Capital Gains at a minimum of 30% despite the taxpayers' marginal tax rate. A naked grab, and ignoring the fairness of assessing tax based on the taxpayers' marginal tax rate. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory #Budget2026

@taipan168 They are not many arguments for the preferential tax treatment of capital gains. Lower taxes generally, perhaps, but preferential treatment? The risk/reward argument is flawed as that is baked into acquisition price

If the mooted changes to CGT go ahead in tonight’s budget, Australia will have one of the highest rates of CGT in the OECD. Illustrates why a party of union hacks and political staffers does not understand how to manage the economy. afr.com/policy/economy…

@taipan168 @jason_king72 @g_zilla_xo Why should a person in a startup pay only half the tax of everyone else?

@jason_king72 @g_zilla_xo People in startups who were granted equity at a very low value in lieu of a market salary will be enormous losers, which is the point.

The CGT change as has been floated would be disastrous for the start-up community in Australia, because employee share/option schemes would automatically be taxed at 50% since the indexation would be on a zero cost base. I just hope Chalmers is listening. afr.com/technology/cat…

@simborical @messedupfoods Except weekend surcharge

wait so you’re telling me the price on the menu is… the price???

@JimOhSoSpurs Sorry mate. The AI script is really poor. Try using your own words or doing it off the cuff.

Is Spurs Pitch Causing Their Injuries? Let's Look At What The Data Shows. What Do You Think? 🤔

@NeoBarcaVision @centregoals Reckless negligent. Lots of drivers kill other drivers through reckless/negligent actions. They go to jail even though it was an accident. Just because something was an accident, doesn’t mean you were an idiot for causing it. Punish accordingly.

@centregoals No idea why they are trying to fight the guy that attempted the bicycle. Obviously he didn’t mean to do it. Clown

🚨🚨| Shocking moment in AFC Champions League. Al-Ahli’s Ali Majrashi goes for a bicycle kick clearance and catches JDT’s Jairo straight in the face.

@HealthToFit Good one. Love it. One of my favourite health/fitness apps.

@SitDownDisco Yes an average of each activity type. Thanks!

New update live on the App Store. It brings a new chart, Effort Profile Chart. #iOS #AppleWatch #Fitness #DataIsBeautiful

@Tank9999 You’re stupid. Victims of crime are entitled to compensation and have been for decades. This not a new scheme.

#auspol So Chris Minns & the NSW State Govt are giving the victims of the Bondi Massacre $75000 WTAF?? Are they going to be giving all victims of unfortunate situations $75,000 from now on?? What about the victims of the Lindt Cafe will they be getting compensation now??

@GLabsPlus @fern_rl @Math_files Day has no impact on probability. And even if it did, there are no constraints placed on which day the other child occurs.

@fern_rl @Math_files Two Tuesday boys is only one possible future outcome for a family that would have two kids: A Tuesday boy followed by a Tuesday boy. The reverse is the same sequence. Similarly, two heads is only 1 (not 2) of 4 possible outcomes, when flipping 2 coins.

@TheGhostOfKyivv @cremieuxrecueil Isn’t the stat births per woman? It doesn’t matter about the pyramid. Just matters if current number of women are having kids.

@cremieuxrecueil No, recent increase is an artifact of the population pyramid.

BTW South Korea is actually beating this somehow. The UN apparently wasn't optimistic enough!

@JimmyRu52630895 @Gtwy @HazelAppleyard You live with 100 miles of that?

@Gtwy @HazelAppleyard Any steep mountain in south america has plenty of impractical to get to spots that are also not on climbing routes.

… NO??

@kicvesm @DropAPinShow Ok so you admit you got it wrong. I’ve witnessed a terrorist raid in Indonesia where 2 terrorists were killed. I was in Bali during the Bali bombings. Things are pretty moderate, but that doesn’t mean zero.

@SitDownDisco @DropAPinShow What a dork comment. 280 million people, 85% Muslim, only a handful of nutcases. Adam, would you rather visit Jakarta or Lebanon? Or Gaza? Or Caracas. Or a Washington DC before Trump called in the National Guard. So yeah, wrong.

What's the most populated island on earth?

@kicvesm @DropAPinShow Bali bombings, Australian embassy bombing, ritz Carlton bombing, executions with firearms in central Jakarta, Poso killings… so yeah, wrong.

@DropAPinShow The largest Muslim population on earth…and no Islamic terrorists. Why, secular control of the population by great leaders in Indonesia.

@MattBobBrad1 @football360au I’m not torn. I think it’s a damning indictment on the success or otherwise of multiculturalism in Australia. This shouldn’t be happening.

@football360au I’m torn between between resentment of Australian Citizens not playing for their country where they have lived and been supported. And pragmatic realisation that FA need to ensure that they feel supported to play for Australia.

Adrian Segecic has explained his decision to change his international allegiance from Australia to Croatia 🇦🇺🇭🇷🗣️ It has also been revealed that he WON'T be linking up with their senior national team in the March window, instead being called up by the nation's Under-21 side.

@WarintheFuture Trump is acting in an adhoc manner whereas this scenario amongst others would clearly have been planned for by the Iranians. It wouldn’t be surprising if they were leading him into a strategic humiliation.

The theory of the case here is that “we can take away all your exports, and deny your rebuilding that infrastructure, at will now if you don’t stop shooting at civil ships.” The threat is not just about air strikes - Marine units are being dispatched to the gulf as part of strategic messaging. 1/3 🧵

@ethanmvfc Can’t blame popa. Players choosing one country over another is a massive life decision that you only do on the basis of what’s best for you. If snubbing Australia was the right decision for him, so be it. Means he thinks he’ll get more games for Croatia.

Easy to blame Popa but I think he was only snubbed in one squad? He was injured for the other windows, then did a bunch of interviews acknowledging that and saying he’s happy to wait because it’s his dream to play for Australia.

@StaniKulechov Akin to theft. You guys are so delusional that you can’t even accept that your system is to blame rather than the user. No user intends to lose $50m and if it happens on a swap, they are not to blame. You are. I hope you’re bankrupted.

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

@apollosh0tudead Trying to break his fall as he slipped again

Im i trippin why did he pull his hand away
