@aaronsmith Why are the grandfathering the negative gearing rules, who does that penalise

Who benefits from Australia's 50% CGT discount (2022–23, Treasury) Top 10% of earners: get 86% of the benefit Top 20%: get 89% Over-60s: get 52% 18–34 year olds: just 4% Avg benefit to top earners: $86,000+ Avg benefit to bottom 60%: ~$5,000 ie - the young do not benefit from CGT disc

@The_PrenderCast @AshleyWarren75 @09Webby He came off two injury interrupted years ago and they gave him a five year contract extension.

@AshleyWarren75 @mcpolo13 @09Webby Disagree. Interested to see how he goes for the rest of the year free of Voss-ball

So… whats the goss on Nick Austin? Walked? Pushed?

@09Webby @The_PrenderCast Cerra - contract Zac Williams - Contract Signing, Heywood, Florent and Ainsworth to long term contracts when there 28 years old.

@The_PrenderCast He was tied to Voss so probably had to go although I didn’t think he did that bad of a job

@agroasx What about the nurse that can’t afford to buy a house to live in so she buys and investment property she can afford with negativity gearing. Negative gearing in blowing the housing prices it’s the overpaid construction industry and foreign investors.

It is obscene to tax a nurse's labor at 100% while giving a property hoarder a 50% CGT discount just for sitting on a weatherboard. If your "wealth" depends on taxpayer-funded negative gearing to outbid families, you’re not an investor—you’re a beneficiary. #Budget2026 #auspol

@michael_timbs @fjzeit If the government was smart they would put a cap on the maximum discount anyone can claim $500k over thier life time. Thereby being fair to everyone. And still targeting the wealthy.

@mcpolo13 @fjzeit it really depends. If I have $5m invested in the SP500 I could draw $250k a year almost indefinitely. Hence the structural bias towards wealthy people. That doesn't mean *all* capital gains are of this form though.

It is structurally unfair that CGT is lower than income tax. It means the rich can keep getting richer at lower tax rates. Unfortunately my hope was we’d cut income tax to match CGT rate in order to make it fair for people. Alas, we’re just seeing boomers pull the ladder up after them and making everyone pay insane levels of tax on all income.

@michael_timbs @fjzeit Without the discount Capital gains also takes years to realise, unlike a salary. Compare this Salary of $250k for 10 years = 1,660,000 after tax. Compared to a once off capital gain of 2.5 million with no other income is for ten years = 1,349,650 after tax

@fjzeit with the discount it is. A) $250k from salary = $166k after tax B) $250k from capital gains = $219k after tax Thats a massive difference. Also the risk argument I find to be weak because in a reasonably functioning market, risk is already priced into expected returns.

@strangerous10 No CGT discount doesn’t stop foreigns buying Australian property and over inflating the value.

Jim Chalmers says when the LNP introduced the CGT discount in 1999, they “fundamentally distorted how investment happens” by “encouraging ppl to pile into existing housing” which pushed prices up & locked young ppl out.💥 The 27-year free ride is finally over. #auspol

@chris_m_80 @AlboMP Or they will increase the rent so as the property is no longer negative geared

@AlboMP RENTS WILL NOT GO UP - RENTERS FINALLY BECOME BUYERS AS PRICES NORMALISE!!!

We're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go.

@PragShill @7AFL They never said it’s included in the TPP they just said the AFL has confirmed ticked it off.

@mcpolo13 @7AFL Literally says in the report it sits within the TPP but go off son.

@TelfordTron @NicNegrepontis Hewitt is too slow as the game gets on the outside he’s done. It’s the same a Cripps.

@NicNegrepontis Absolute joke… hewett is by far the best tagger on our list…. Anyway…

Cowan is tagging NWM everywhere. Even starting at centre bounces, which I don’t think he’s ever done at AFL level. Blues have been smashed by opposition stars this year, first real tagging job tonight.

@DavidZita1 @FOXFOOTY @FOXSportsNews So they AFL just want to promote tanking again, if Blues finish last bid on Cochran, pick the next best available player. Get given an additional pick then match the Walker bid with two picks that can be 17 and 18

The AFL has officially unveiled changes to the draft / player movement. @FOXFOOTY @FOXSportsNews

@CalTwomey @FootyonNine The loading is so dumb, the AFL do realise when you finish higher your picks are worth less.

Exclusive - Grand Final teams will have a 20 per cent points loading under the new bidding system, with preliminary finalists having a 10 per cent loading under changes to be confirmed on Wednesday. Full details here & on Footy Classified @FootyOnNine. afl.com.au/news/1508184/a…

@Richard97173384 @joshmoney__ @7NewsAdelaide @7AFL He’s doing nothing to justify what he’s being paid

@joshmoney__ @7NewsAdelaide @7AFL Soldo is doing a lot better than any of us cunts in the comments

Port Adelaide ruckman Ivan Soldo has quietly relocated to Victoria since having ACL surgery, where he'll continue his rehab. 30-year-old's three-year contract will expire at the end of the year after 9 games for the Power @7NewsAdelaide @7AFL

@dumesny1 @1116sen So he’s willing to be traded out

@1116sen So he's taking a pay cut?

Daicos willing to do “whatever it takes” to get Butters and King to Pies. READ: bit.ly/4ckrxro #AFL

@paoloseb05 It’s to game plan, Carlton’s game plan is to get the whole team to follow the ball, up and down the ground. Most teams spread the other team in a kick out, unlike Carlton who just bomb it to a contest and hope for the best. Even if they do win the ball there is no one forward.

Carlton has not scored from their defensive half to half time. The difference in the game is the layers of a game model trained and focused on for years. Carlton has lacked consistent layers to be a consistent threat throughout patches, quarters, matches and seasons.

@RalphyHeraldSun Has Isaac Cummings been penalised with a staging fine?

Spoke to ANB last night about the smartest act and his request for the umpire to challenge his handball into Florent’s legs. How much should the ARC intervene into acts and when?

@RalphyHeraldSun Didn’t see much consistency with the umpiring last night.

@LENO578 @CarltonFC Have you watched Saad play the last 2 years, he shouldn’t be on an AFL list

@CarltonFC Why would they bring Boyd in ahead of Saad . That's pathetic

573 days. For the first time in August 2024, we'll see Nic Newman pull on the Navy Blue at AFL level. We love that 💙 ROUND 4 TEAM: carltonfc.com.au/news/1986405//…

@SteveWoosnam @CaptainUniverse So why does he continually select the same players

@CaptainUniverse Its the players. Its always been the list thats the problem

The correct times to sack Voss: 1) After the 2024 elimination final 2) After Round 1 in 2025 3) At any point during the 2025 season 4) After Opening Round 2026 5) After Round 1 2026 6) During the bye 7) Right now How has he lasted this long?
