Looks like Labor is abandoning its attacks on ordinary mum and dad and first time property owners.  Negative gearing and the CGT to stay.

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/labor-to-dump-bill-shorten-s-negative-gearing-and-capital-gains-policies-20210211-p571qw.html

Negative gearing amounted to a $60 per week per property government rent subsidy to tenants. So it was always questionable how much tax it would actually bring in and who would ultimately end up paying for it.

The changes to the CGT would have given Australia the second highest CGT in the OECD.

And the franking credits changes would have affected low income earners and self-funded retirees more than high income earners.

But it was always about class warfare, not sound policy, wasn't it?

FMD.  We've reached peak stupid now.

Do you actually know what a franking credit is and how it works?  Serious question.

Read some of the submissions and you will learn of low income single mums, low income students, low income pensioners who would have had their franking credits they relied to pay their bills on taken away because their taxable income was below $18,200, a 30% cut in dividend earnings, whereas everyone else on higher incomes would-at least- use them to reduce the tax they pay.

https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/House/Economics/FrankingCredits/Submissions

Try submission 320 for a nice summary of what an arse-about, smelly bag of fish Labors Franking credits policy was.

No I know what they are because I get them, but I get them because I'm able to afford to get them.

Poor people don't get them because exactly that, they're poor, they don't get dividends, they're not investing in shares and stocks, they don't have liquid cash lying around to do things like that because they're trying to survive at a basic level (rent, food, transport).

And there's nothing too bad about franking credits that you're getting because you're paying income tax. The credits are supposed to offset income tax. The issue is that people are getting them that pay no income tax i.e. self-funded retirees with SIGNIFICANT share portfolios.

That's what I though you meant and  you (still) are wrong, because numerous "poor" people do own shares, and they do depend on franking credits to support themselves. 

We know this because some of these very people made submissions to the inquiry on franking credits and how Labor's policy would result in them keeping less of the same dividend than someone who had a much higher income. 

A major group were self-funded retirees who were painted as living the high life when many were struggling to pay for their meds which they pay full price for because unlike pensioner they don't get a HCC.

That's your opinion. 

What difference does it make that someone receives income as a dividend from CBA and someone else who receives interest from a CBA term deposit?  What difference does it make if a pensioner has up to $482,500 in a term deposit, earning interest and getting  a full pension, or a self-funded retire has $242,000 in shares earning the same in dividends?

yeah, but you'd think it's impossible to come back from lying about knowing not only about a rape, but the covering up of it

if you come through that unscathed then we are lost as a nation.

yep, that;s the thing. The moron probably never even spoke ti his wife about it, but his default PR/Spin mode is to put up his schtick. 
It's just this time to was so utterly short sighted, offensive and insensitive that he perhaps has cornered himself.

5 minutes ago renewables weren't a thing now the writing is on the wall for fossil fuels they're falling over themselves to see who can be the greenest.

The libs.  Who'd have thunk it?  
https://7news.com.au/politics/wa-labor-liberals-in-renewables-battle-c-2183347

No coincidence that the 2 biggest energy mobs in Australia (AGL and Origin) are copping a pizzling on the ASX.  They've stuck their head in an the sand for years and events have overtaken them.

How's Scomo's gas led recovery looking now?
