@cjoye Agree completely this is just pandering to poll pressure . The principle in the exception here should logically apply to all SMBs. It’s ludicrous thinking .

Why would the CGT concessions be for tech only? Why not for all Aussie businesses? Why is tech more important than any other sector? And given the polling suggests voters clearly would have rejected these proposals at the last election, and there is patently no mandate to introduce them given the election was won on the many promises not to ever touch CGT and negative gearing, why not do the only honest and honourable thing - and put these radical changes to the test of an election? Either call one now or put them to the next election. Trying to railroad them home on the basis of a majority government that was voted in on the premise it would not make these changes is demonstrably non-democratic. It is also very unAustralian… At least give everyone a chance to vote on whether they want to overhaul the economy in this way. Even @DHughesy is up in arms about being rorted by the professional pollies who have never started a business or hired another Aussie in their lives

The reality of the government's impact on first-home buyers. @leithvo is one of Australia’s most credible economists and a straight-talking critic of government policy. In this episode, we dissect the Albanese government’s latest budget and its real impact on inflation, housing affordability, and living standards. Leith explains why this isn’t tax reform but simply a tax grab, how immigration policy is driving the housing crisis, and why Australia’s productivity growth ranks among the worst in the OECD. We explore the disconnect between headline GDP figures and per capita reality, the expansion of the government-funded sector, and what this means for future generations.

Chris Richardson on what Australia has gotten wrong about migration. Chris Richardson is one of Australia’s most quoted economists and the founder of Rich Insight, bringing decades of expertise from his time at Deloitte Access Economics to decode complex fiscal policy. Chris and I might not agree on every aspect of this budget, but that is what makes this conversation worth having.

He dissects the real economic effects of the budget on inflation, interest rates, and the Reserve Bank’s delicate balancing act.

How do we make Australia more prosperous? How do we encourage people to build businesses, take risks and compete with the rest of the world? Our politicians and government are spending the money that comes from our work, our risk and our effort. So we should demand more from them. More innovation. More ambition. More bold decisions. As Australians, we should expect to have one of the highest standards of living in the world. Let’s demand this from the people who lead us.
