People truly underestimate how much of civilisation is built on the backs of giants and how incredible the modern world is. There are feats we have achieved which told in a book, we wouldn't believe them. Humanity is amazing!

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth. It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter. Less than a refrigerator light bulb. The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light. By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power

@DrCameronMurray @tonytardio Come on Cameron, have you ever spoke to a builder? A massive, utterly massive component of building costs is regulation.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a major flaw in the government's proposed capital gains tax reforms. Using a four share portfolio, I showed how replacing the current 50% CGT discount with inflation indexation could increase the amount of tax paid by investors by ~61%. The example was deliberately simple because it helped illustrate the mechanics of the problem... but some readers reasonably questioned whether a portfolio containing one extreme winner, two mediocre performers and one complete failure was representative of how Australians actually invest in shares. So I decided to test the CGT changes using a portfolio based on actual investor behaviour rather than relying on a hypothetical portfolio. I analysed the 20 most popular ASX shares and ETFs purchased six years ago in April 2020. Despite analysing a completely different portfolio based on actual investor behaviour, I arrived at a similar conclusion. The proposed indexation model increased taxable gains by ~82%. The government's stated aim is to improve fairness and encourage investment into housing. But if the practical effect is to penalise diversified investors and significantly increase tax on ordinary Australians who invest patiently over decades, the reforms risk creating distortions far greater than those they seek to address. Policymakers should carefully consider whether a tax system that increases tax for a typical long term investor by more than 80% is really achieving its intended objective. A related question is why any rational investor would choose to invest in direct shares at all under this regime? If successful portfolios are taxed much more heavily and unsuccessful ones receive less recognition for their losses, the after tax risk adjusted return from direct share investing becomes highly unattractive. Full analysis is here: blog.stockspot.com.au/shares-more-ta…

Like it or not it's clear to me that Australia is well on the way to a seismic shift to the right. Labor and the extremists greens have only themselves to blame if the next election goes the way I expect it will.

Example of our retarded tax system and how we do everything to ensure business is not viable in this country. ❌ When you buy a car from a private individual there is no GST applicable. ✅ When you buy a car from a dealer the dealer must pay GST. So what is the consequence of this? No dealer can compete on price against a private sale and the buyer is incentivised to take the riskier option of a private sale. We screw the buyer, we screw the dealer and we continue to screw our country through stupid over taxation.

@iL1keTurtles Our response to covid and the lefts seismic lurch to the extreme left around that time. I didn't really change, Labor and Greens did or maybe they didnt and i just saw them for who they always were.

@AnonymousFrypan The tax free threshold needs to be increased, but don't act like this is a labor issue. John Howard raised the TFT from 5400 to 6000. Labor raised it from 6000 to 18,200.

No its not and the fact that you keep trying to prove your point by just restating the same thing doesnt win you any arguments. The fact is Labor is in power now, in an overwhelming majority and have done and WILL DO nothing because they are a part of the same group of people as the Liberals. They all go to the same restaurants and bars together after work... Thats what you dont get, the people you're supporting are laughing at your naivety.

Utterly irrelevant to the situation today. You are so focused on blaming 'The other side' youre not willing to even entertain that all these policies are implemented directly or indirectly with support from other parties. Also at what point does Labor become responsible for the mess? What's the cut off point? 4 years? 5 years? 10 years? 200 years? You're not an honest actor.
