The CGT increase, particularly its impact on small businesses, is shocking. My brother runs a small business and dedicates himself 7 days a week. He doesn’t own a home, and with the CGT tax, he never will. Your rhetoric about helping first home buyers is political marketing.

Maybe if Pauline didn’t employee her daughter who has a zero policy background she could use that spot for someone with knowledge. Just remember, Lee Hanson is paid $180k a year because her mother wanted her in Canberra. Not because she is experienced!

Richard Marles is a traitor! Stabbing @AlboMP in the back. @AustralianLabor

So, I’m now going to be taxed twice as much on my already taxed money that I’m using to try and save for my first house by a government who took none of the risk?

BEFORE: Start company Invest money (that has been taxed) Pay tax to hire people Pay salaries and more tax Pay tax on expenses to run it (GST) Pay tax on any remaining profits Pay tax on any dividends and income NOW: All of the above if you defy all odds and actually sell your company pay 47% to the government. Australia is the worst western country to build a business in. Great work @AlboMP!

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese has been accused of burying a new “death tax” in the budget, dealing grieving families a fresh blow to their inheritances through what one expert calls a “thousand paper cuts” On budget night, Jim Chalmers, broke a number of campaign promises and abolished negative gearing on established homes and removed the CGT discount, not just for investment properties, but for all assets including shares, start ups and farms. The broken promise has led Mr Albanese and Mr Chalmers to be repeatedly grilled on the question of a death tax. But the budget already delivered a “death tax” disguised in the form of estate planning trust, the Testamentary Discretionary Trust, will now be hit by a minimum 30 per cent tax rate. Testamentary Discretionary Trusts are in 90 per cent of the wills drafted and the change would affect thousands of Aussies. Meaning money that you’ve worked hard for, has already been taxed and sitting in your bank account. Will now be hit with an additional tax of 30% They just want it all.

Furious landlords say they’re immediately hiking rents in response to Labor’s dismal negative gearing changes. news.com.au/finance/economy/…

After five Budgets, Labor has come up with a massive new tax hike on everything, that is a sledgehammer on the economy and results in fewer houses.

Peter Stefanovic: “you’re not gonna tax the family home next?” Prime Minister: “No.” Peter Stefanovic: “And why would anyone believe you now?” The PM has created a massive credibility issue for himself!

We will oppose and repeal all of Labor's bad taxes. Labor's tax on property - by closing negative gearing - will go Labor's tax on investment - by increasing capital gains taxes - will go. Labor's tax on small business - by taxing trusts - will go. Labor's tax on non electric cars will go. Labor's tax on industry - through carbon taxes - will go. Labor's silent inflation tax - through bracket creep - will go. Taxes will be lower under a Liberal and Nationals Government.

The Albanese Government is sneaking in a death tax. No Australian voted for this. Share your story at notthetax.com.au

I'm a former ALP member. If you choose Andrew Hastie as your leader, I will join your party. I'm very disappointed with the government's CGT tax policy. Hastie will bring all Liberal voters who joined ON back to the Liberal party. #auspol

This segment hits hard: “For my husband and I, two school teachers, negative gearing was one way we could get ahead. You lied to get votes. Shame on this government, crushing dreams and telling lies”

Anthony Albanese has been dealt a major blow in the first poll since the budget was handed down. news.com.au/national/politic…

I'm pretty disappointed with this budget! Where do I find more information on CGT changes? People are saying it's grandfathered. I don't read paywalled newspapers. #auspol

I'm quitting Labor because of its horrible budget. My Liberal MP is a good man; he supported the Voice. He supported Labor's Climate change policy, and I never voted for him because I was an ALP member. I'm furious about the CGT. #auspol @AlboMP @JEChalmers

I am a Labor Party member. I'm quitting the Labor Party. My mum, a retired high school teacher, invested her super in 2investment properties. In her advancing years, she will be paying a huge CGT bill. Always voted ALP, but now I will vote for my good Liberal MP. @AlboMP #auspol

Pauline Henson didn't finish high school, and it shows. Her tunnel vision makes it impossible for her to craft a real policy except for screaming about immigrants. To be a leader requires a sharp, well-rounded perspective that usually comes from real education. #auspol
