If addition to smashing shareholder's wealth, Geoff is missing what should be an obvious issue that the tax changes do take money out of the economy, further repair the budget & take some pressure off inflation. It's pretty simple. But I suppose if you've never worked in an area that implements govt policy, you can be excused for being ignorant of how it all works
Using your words: @TheKouk classic “jellyback” take.
Opposing the world’s highest effective CGT rate (and the negative gearing hit) isn’t “wanting a bigger deficit and stimulus”. It’s opposing a tax that hammers productive investment, housing supply and ordinary people trying to build wealth.
You’re equating tax rates with government spending. That’s either economic illiteracy or deliberate spin. People aren’t stupid and the polling shows they see right through it. Spineless defence of economic vandalism.
Time to grow a backbone.
Any other thoughts on the Kouk?

The report from Segal was a hit job on Australians who oppose genocide pure and simple.
Well she won’t shut me up.
She even lied quoting Krissy Barrett using words the Police Commissioner did NOT say.

It is not antisemitic to say that dropping bombs on refugee camps and using 7 year old children for target practice is evil.
Suggesting otherwise is nothing short of insanity.

Does anyone know why Richard Marles attended ASEAN (bad mouthing China on behalf of the US TERRORIST REGIME) when Australia is not a member of ASEAN? PS. Who agrees a US war of aggression against China should be fought from US shores not Australia's shores?

👇🏻Please join sending a message to Jason Clare.
@JasonClareMP Please keep Jillian Segal's indoctrination out of our schools. It's not right that a representative of less than half a % of Australia's population has so much influence over policies.
Her loyalty is to Israel, not Australia. It's WRONG.

Where did Jillian Segal come from?
How was she appointed?
Why is she allowed to make suggestions that interfere with our lives?
Why is she suggesting Govt interference in our Schools, Universities and Institutions.
Why is she allowed to suggest changes to our Rights and Freedoms.

The excellent Ms Salt comprehensively demolishes Segal’s latest farrago of wild assertions, baseless assumptions and plain, old-fashioned, right wing flab-dabbery.
I've been reading through this, which was released today, and let me tell you - it is a hot mess.
Jillian Segal (well let's face it, the taxpayer-funded team who work for her) has delivered a line of limited thinking that aims to insert itself into every aspect of Australian life - with no peer review, or any form of independent assessment. We are expected to simply take the Antisemitism Envoy at their word and shut up.
As usual, it presents as a wandering discourse of unevidenced claims, taking particular aim at the increasing dissatisfaction with Israel by most of the western world and hiding it within the cloak of 'antisemitism' - a word tossed about freely throughout the document, a word that underwrites the document and all it's radical thought-policing, but a word that they fail to provide with any concrete definition or cohesive meaning.

Richard Flanagan:
"The ways in which the Segal report can deeply damage our democracy are frightening to ponder. We are free and we must not surrender that freedom. Yet, it is under attack and we must now fight for it."
This is the fight of our times. I'm in it. Who else is?
Esteemed Australian author Richard Flanagan delivered a powerful speech at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas warning of a new McCarthyism, accusing Israel of "seeking to silence" Australians with the slur of antisemitism.
"The ways in which the Segal report can deeply damage our democracy are frightening to ponder."
"We are free and we must not surrender that freedom. Yet, it is under attack and we must now fight for it."
We have published the full text of the speech.👇️

This ANZAC commemoration has nothing to do with Israel — the battle took place in Be’er Sheva in Palestine in 1917.
Israel had not even been invented yet.
Thirty-one years after the battle, the British handed their colony of Palestine over to a new European immigrant colony created by the UN to be known as Israel from 1948.
Israel has stolen Palestinian land, now they try to steal their history.
This Saturday marks the 109th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba, a pivotal military victory marked by the charge of the Australian Light Horse Brigade.
The Embassy of Israel in Australia honours the bravery of the Australian soldiers who fought there and remembers those who lost their lives, many of whom were laid to rest at the Be’er Sheva ANZAC War Cemetery in Israel 🇮🇱🇦🇺
Lest We Forget.

🔴Being anti-ZIONIST is NOT anti-SEMITIC❗️
🤖 Made with AI
I reckon Segal is single-handedly assisting in the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia, everytime she opens her mouth.
⚠️ #ZionismIsEVIL❗️
⚠️ #NotAllJewsAreZIONISTS, however … #ZionismIsEvilVileInhumane❗️
🔴Being ANTI-ZIONIST is NOT ANTI-SEMITISM❗️

For those interested in foreign interference in Australia, here is a video of Jillian Segal in a private forum (approx early 2025) revealing that the USA put pressure on Albanese and his govt to create her position
Watch and listen closely
Australia was told to toe the line

The Israelisation of Australia. Segal’s report is an attack on democracy. Abolish the job.

Will Jess Wilson recruit young Jews returning from their duties with the barbaric IDF for her expanded police force? They have a great CV, skill set to die for!! Will Victoria be safer with them corralled into the police force where they can be monitored?

Anyone for a budget surplus? It could be on the cards for 2026-27.
The Commonwealth government budget numbers are looking chipper with the underlying cash balancing running $10.6 billion ahead of the May Budget time run rate for the first 3 months of FY2026-27.

Trump still claims the bombing of the Minab girls' school was "done by Iran," and that his incompetence had nothing to do with it.
Investigators, satellite imagery, and multiple news organizations began reporting something very different.
The school wasn't even collateral damage. It was on the target list due to outdated intelligence that misidentified it as a military site.
165 killed, most of them schoolgirls.
Little kids slaughtered by Donald Trump.
These children deserved better.
And the American people deserve the truth.
