John Ralph, the man who designed the 50% CGT discount, just torched @AustralianLabor ’s changes. Says they haven’t thought it through and will hurt young home buyers and investors. @JEChalmers is destroying the very incentives that built Australia’s equity markets and housing supply. Time to scrap this before it’s too late. Stop the new CGT. #ScrapTheCGTHeist #AussieDreamKiller instagram.com/reel/DZOsj4mTQ…

This @AuSenate inquiry is a whitewash. We need another inquiry that is independent! Stop the new CGT!
Dear Journalists Here is a list of 21 individuals who have provided a public submission to the Senate Inquiry on CGT and yet the government have not published those submissions. To put this in perspective they only published six individuals. SIX. This is a gross abuse of their fiduciary duty to have an open an accountable democracy. The true number would be much larger and we have a lower limit of 61 submissions that are missing based on the government's own numbering up to 150 on their website despite only 89 submissions being made public. Despite this cherry picking, the only people that support a change to the CGT on equity and business are hand-picked economists, and the Australian Council of Social Services. Current list of those who have submitted and not published: @DerekFranc90653 @chrisbrycki @TheRealDavey2 @keithmarlowau @David_McMahon75 @acxjones @Hughmaxdavis @James16878077 @SeanoftheWeb3 @onslowshipping @MarshBrentnall @jsmith_dev @linzcom @leighjasper @ProphetHaza @whmacdonald74 @BankReformNow @F66Geoff @_swordfish6975 @xrpfanboi88 And myself Thank you to all that replied. @mcranston1 @PhillipCoorey @MarkDiStef @GeoffWilsonWAM @AngusTaylorMP @PaulineHansonOz @ajamesbragg @AlboMP @JEChalmers x.com/toy59496/status/206576… x.com/toy59496/status/206561…

That’s appalling behaviour from the @AuSenate
I plan to call the Senate Economics Committee again tomorrow and press for answers to 1) why my submission has not been published before the start of hearings; 2) if it has been rejected, on what basis; 3) what criteria were used to determine which pieces were released ahead of the hearings; 4) who the ultimate decision maker on this was.

This @AuSenate inquiry into CGT is a stick up. After the articles by @mcranston1 and @PhillipCoorey I’ve been invited. They are still shutting out critics, this won’t hide the damage. The new CGT is economic vandalism that kills aspiration, crushes startups and drives mobile capital away. Australians deserve better.
Labor lied and increased taxes. Now it doesn't want to hear the truth about the impact on our economy. They thought the people would just accept it! Even the New Zealand PM strongly rejected introducing a CGT in his country, branding the levy an "economic wrecking ball".

Stop the CGT now. All Australian must stand up! “This is a revolution. A political and social shifting of the sands in a way Australia has not seen before. Marie Antoinette said let them eat cake. Albanese? He says let them pay tax; let Australian citizens pay more tax on their investments than foreign entities. Let non-citizens access Australia’s first home buyers scheme and take any capital gain they may make back to their country of birth. Let Australians carry the fat of the largest per capita public sector workforce in the world.”

Australians deserve better. Wake up @AlboMP and @JEChalmers . Reverse this madness before the damage is permanent. Spot on @leighjasper. Doubling CGT to a world-high 47% isn’t ‘closing loopholes’ it’s economic vandalism that smashes aspiration, kills startups, and exports our best talent and future companies to the US and Asia. Every founder now rethinking Australia. Every high-skilled job at risk. The innovation machine is being deliberately broken. This isn’t a budget. It’s a declaration of war on mobile capital and the next Atlassian, Afterpay, Aconex or Canva #AussieDreamKiller #ScrapTheCGTHeist #LaborTaxRaid
Replying to @leighjasper
I also highlighted the insanity of the federal government doubling of capital gains tax to 47%, the highest in the world. Through LaunchVic we have worked hard to develop a thriving startup ecosystem. The CGT change undermines all our hard work, taking a sledgehammer to this innovation machine. I highlighted six Australian startup founders that I met with last week in San Francisco, all building their companies into the US. Before this budget they had mostly planned to come back to Australia. Every single one of them has now reconsidered. Not one is coming home. These six companies are the tip of the iceberg and this is not just a few founders. This is dozens of high-skilled jobs now, potentially thousands of jobs lost in the future, and one of them might just be the next Aconex, Atlassian or Afterpay. And just like that, one disastrous budget later, the innovation machine breaks and we all lose the future…

Classic. Lie about the economy, CGT, housing & aspiration and then rebrand it as ‘I changed my view’. @JEChalmers looks exactly like the Treasurer who knows he’s torching productive investment for ideology. The equality & diversity mob always exempt their own failures. Stop the insane CGT now!#AspirationalAustralia
Remember, you can outright lie, just rebrand it to " I Changed my view" and all is forgiven.

This is exactly why the rushed Senate "inquiry" is a farce. @TheRealDavey2’s detailed submission exposing the CGT hike as economic vandalism still hasn’t been published, just days before Monday’s hearings. His is a full takedown of the lack of mandate, the assault on investment/productivity/wages, the misleading justifications, and how this Bill drives capital into housing while punishing enterprise. Labor is ramming this through because it won’t survive honest scrutiny. @AuSenate must reject the CGT increase on non-property assets. #LaborTaxRaid #ScrapTheCGTHeist
The Labor-controlled Senate inquiry into the CGT increase still hasn't made my submission public. Hearings are on Monday. I can only assume it's because my submission is highly critical of the change, and the process.

Completely agree. @AustralianLabor is debasing our democracy by shutting out some of the most qualified voices against their economic vandalism. This tax assault on aspiration deserves full public scrutiny not their cowardly committee games. @chrisbrycki @DerekFranc90653 @FinServCouncil @humpheryjenner
Labor is debasing the Senate Committee system by denying access to public hearings to some of the most qualified critics of their horrendous tax plan.

If you increase the tax on Australian businesses as @JEChalmers and @AlboMP are doing, you will destroy Australian businesses! Stop the CGT.
Chris Minns calling idiot boy Angry Albo and Slippery Jim Chalmers fools! Labor Premier calling for common sense. He even suggests they 'Do a Trump and declare victory and call it all off. ' OUCH! #SYDNEY #CANBERRA Poor Albo and Slippery Jim (and little Julian Hill) #AUSPOL

Stop the new CGT before the damage is irreversible!
“This is about revenue, not home ownership.” The government's own Treasury Secretary has effectively admitted what Australians already suspected. If the goal was to make housing more affordable, the focus would be on reducing demand through lower migration and increasing supply by building more homes. Instead, Labor has delivered neither. 📺 Daniel Wild explains why the budget simply doesn't stack up: bit.ly/4fqeVky

I need to be careful where I get my news from. Apparently listening to the Treasurers words and applying basic economics and maths requires me to seek a media interpretation rather than intellect. Good luck everyone. We are doomed.

Advisers warn that Labor’s three-year rollover window on trusts is an Orwellian trap designed to strip investors of the main reason to have one: asset protection. ebx.sh/XjLHjp

Stop to insane CGT on Australian business!
Labor increasingly views 'success' as a problem to be solved. We see it in tax debates. We see it in housing policy. We see it in discussions about wealth, inheritance, and investment. Success increasingly attracts suspicion. Profit is treated as something requiring justification. Ambition is viewed as a social problem to be managed rather than a human impulse to be encouraged. This is particularly striking in Australia. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/06/the…
