I did not realise they were taxing gross rather than net gains… AFR: Investors with diversified share portfolios making a mix of gains and losses compared to inflation could face tax rates of more than 100 per cent on real gains, due to the Albanese government not compensating investors for underperforming stocks. A former senior Treasury tax official and a hedge fund manager both warned that people with a diversified portfolio of shares could face tax rates 50 per cent higher than Treasury calculated… Chalmers’ office and Treasury were contacted for comment on Thursday about whether real losses would be indexed to inflation. Under another example, an investor buys shares in Coles and Woolworths, with one outperforming inflation and the other underperforming inflation. The overall real return is zero after inflation, but the investor would pay tax on the winning stock. If an investor instead bought an ETF of supermarkets with the same overall result, they would pay no tax. afr.com/policy/tax-and…







Today on the show: IDF member claims Tucker Carlson is “target number one” on Mossad’s assassination list — raising disturbing questions about how far the Israel debate has escalated in America.

Tonight, Dr. @RonElfenbeinmd joins us to tell the story. rumble.com/v7a3fge-tucker…


If dwelling prices fell 10% nationally we'd fall back to a level seen in early 2025, a fall of 20% would be early 2023, Dwelling prices rose 48% since 2020. So what is the big deal? Unless someone can show me that this near 50% gain brought Australia unmatched prosperity that offsets the societal and economic damage that making household formation so difficult for FHBs why does it matter so much. It would actually be the one thing that unambiguously improves housing affordability. It might also discourage negative gearing and make more space for FHB in the market.




Has Mr Barrie actually put all his and his employees’ funds into lottery tickets and poker games or is he full of shit? Because surely if he actually believes this it’s his duty to “invest” in this manner.
