Trying to get the media to push them like they did with the stage 3 cuts.
So tinkering around the edges and no structural reform?
They finally have the mandate, weak opposition and economic conditions to do actual reform, but no lets keep commenting about introducing small minuscule changes.
Come on Albo, show some backbone:
– remove negative gearing
– cgt discount back to indexing
– flat 25% tax on gas export revenues
– increase the minimum tax threshold
– stop the ndis rorts
– get the housing future fund to actually start building houses, not publishing reports after reports and burning cash.
If he brings in an EV road user charge , Labor have lost my vote and I will devote myself to campaigning against them.
He better fkn change CGT on housing
Lol. These cowards will never touch cgt
They’re being so incredibly cautious. Look at the last election and have some guts to actually change shit. You’ve got one of the (maybe THE largest) mandates in the modern era of politics.
Use it.
Cowards. They’re going to piss away their political capital with a massive majority and having nothing to show for it.
Truly pathetic if they dont follow through with any bold reform.
Translation: Dim Jim’s focus group doesn’t like the proposed changes to CGT, but he still wants credit for “reform”.
