It feels like our MSM usual suspects and especially the ABC since the budget have sought to air every little niche investor class gripe about losing their tax fudge. Contrast this with NDIS recipients losing funding. Maybe a day or two of coverage? Shows you how the privileged rule. #insiders #CGT

So funny flicking between Bluesky, where the main debate on my feed is "is it unfair to call Keir Starmer the worst prime minister ever?" and X, where discussion of the day is whether liberals should accept there are some good arguments for not letting women vote

Having spent 30 years working in the disability and aged care sectors, public and private, the NDIS was a grand ALP scheme implemented by a petulant LNP, and they did it like the NBN rollout. Shit. Fixing it can’t be ignored but can’t reverse the legitimate gains. #insiders

Repugnant David Speers and Jennifer Hewitt moving on as quickly as they can from Raf Epstein pointing out that if Pauline Hanson said the same thing about Jews and she did about Muslims the media would be going after her. It was a good point well made and #Insiders too afraid to tackle it.

There’s no historical evidence that CGT stops entrepreneurs investing. Before CGT existed in Australia, investment didn’t suddenly “unlock” either. Investment follows returns, demand, and risk, not tax-free status. CGT mainly changes timing and structure, not whether capital gets deployed. #insiders
