Screen shot: Little surprise then that the Parliamentary Budget Office has found that 59% of the benefit of the CGT discount goes to the richest 1% (or those earning more than $362,900): with chart showing the richest 10% get $17.7bn from the CGT discount while the rest get $4bn.

The CGT 50% discount not only distorts the housing market it is also the most inequitable policy you could dream up. (Which is probably why John Howard and Peter Costello did it)

Look at the world

Mayhem in USA, Caribbean waters, Mexico
Palestine, Lebanon, Syria

All caused or abetted by USA Govt and Israel

All of it

Issue of how to power Hobart stadium not yet solved, as deadlines approach Major upgrades to Hobart's power grid to supply the Macquarie Point stadium are yet to be finalised or costed, with the final estimate for the precinct's energy demand increasing by almost 50 per cent...

“Hobart's two current central substations do not have the capacity to power the precinct.”
A minor hiccup, I’m sure.

“The most moral army in the world”

Absolutely no normal person on earth would be surprised to hear that workers aren’t responsible for inflation, and that the profits of the bosses are - but every single institution in the country will still blame (and punish) workers for it 🤷‍♂️

ISIS vs IDF. Selective justice and the fall of Australian law - Michael West Australians who went to fight for ISIS were prosecuted, their families vilified, while former IDF soldiers fighting for Israel walk free.

'Destroyed my life': Patients of renowned surgeon speak out Complaints had been made about this gynaecologist for years. Only when hospital management discovered that Four Corners was looking into his practice, did it start investigating further.

Women are still not being listened to. We are told our pain is normal. We are told we’re overreacting. We are told to wait. And when we finally reach specialists, we’re expected to trust without question.

The Bondi Royal Commission has confirmed it won’t be examining the Bondi attack.
Top work, everyone.

The Israeli Govt installed & maintained the security system at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartment. I'm thinking the Israeli Govt has a LOT of video evidence of a LOT of powerful men. I'm sure that has no influence on why the US Govt (and others) do whatever Israel wants. #IsraeliTerrorism

Title: Vetting the ISIS brides. Two frames. 1. Man with clipboard inside entrance of tent talking to woman in full burqa nursing baby with two small kids playing beside on the dirt floor. Man says: “Just a few questions…Are you: bigoted? Lacking compassion? Have you scant regard for due process and the presumption of innocence?” 2. Same scene, man continues: “If ‘yes’ to all those, you satisfy the “Australian values” test as demonstrated by our political class, and we look forward to bringing you home.”
