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…
CGT Senate Summary (89 Submissions) An analysis of each submission and an executive summary at the end including a tally of support or otherwise can be found here: smallpdf.com/file#s=5ff833ef… A file of all the original submissions (994 pages) can be found here for the next 7 days only: fromsmash.com/8v~RDG97IV-gt I've also included a summary image below. To summarise the analysis: The 89 submissions divide into three broad camps. Roughly a third, dominated by housing, homelessness and community sector peak bodies, unions, progressive think tanks and most of the academic tax specialists, support the Bills in full and urge swift passage. Roughly a fifth, dominated by property industry bodies, business peak bodies, professional accounting and legal bodies and free-market think tanks, recommend the Bills not proceed at all or not in their current form. The largest single group, around a third, accepts or actively supports the residential property measures but opposes extending the same treatment to equities, operating businesses and venture capital. The remainder make narrow technical or sectoral points (valuation, philanthropy, salary packaging, gender impact) without taking a position on the package as a whole. This pattern is the most striking feature of the inquiry: the residential measures are contested mainly by the property industry itself, while the extension to equities and business is contested by submitters across the spectrum, including several who explicitly support the housing reforms. Technical Notes: This is constructed by Claude Max and cost me two weeks of compute power so I hope it's useful. Claude does not usually hallucinate in these matters unlike other AI. I have done some random manual cross checking and it seems to be fine. @DerekFranc90653 @GeoffWilsonWAM @chrisbrycki @RyanMaddockCA

The truth is the unpopular opinion in a world of comfortable lies.
Unpopular opinion, we don’t actually live in a capitalist society.

It truly breaks my heart to say this... Every day now, it feels like another irreplaceable piece of Japan’s ancient heritage — our shrines and temples — is being lost to fire. The causes remain shrouded in mystery, the culprits unidentified in case after case. There have even been devastating tragedies where innocent young children lost their lives in the flames. I’ve also heard that facilities belonging to certain religions never seem to face the same fate. I’m reaching out because I genuinely wonder: how is it in your countries? If anyone has any insights, information, or suggestions that could help shed light on this or protect what remains of our sacred places, it would mean the world to me. Please...
I can’t stop crying. Now a temple in Hokkaido has burned down. Seriously, who did this? I can’t forgive it.

Brutal analogy. 🎯
Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

Expand the trillionaire class.

The “If” is currently a very Australian 🇦🇺 story.
If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

No, you don't get it. He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies. To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined. Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems". $100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12 If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation. But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

BREAKING: SpaceX's IPO is expected to create 4,000 new millionaires, including some cafeteria workers whose compensation packages include employee stock options, per Bloomberg.

The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...

20yo @ UTS 2yr 2026. Coles nightfill. Ultimo share house. Aldi SIM. Thrift shops. Repair phone screens for cash. Invests 30% net income since start. Graduates with $41k invested $32k cash/crypto. $41k shares 💹10% = $1.85m @ 60. “Students can’t afford to invest” absolute ⚠️🐂💩
A 20 year old uni student working part time at Coles paying rent, internet, phone, textbooks, groceries, clothes and occasionally going out does not have enough money to buy shares. And if they do, it’s insignificant. It’s just not a reasonable hypothetical.

anthropic won't let you use fable for biology, chemistry, ai research, or anything that accelerates human progress. that makes it the perfect tool for developing blockchains
