Increasing CGT to one of the most expensive in the world doesn’t need a citation… Engage in some basic thought.
You create a business, take on massive risks, fund it yourself even, then when you go to sell you’re looking at essentially 100% capital gain
That’s not extremely attractive. Why not create the business in Nev Zealand where that would incur 0% tax, because they don’t have CGT?

It is bad, the changes discourage investment in creating new businesses in Australia. It’s going to screw the country in the long term

It’s as if Labor designed a budget to turbocharge more anti-establishment sentiment and pump up One Nation’s tyres.

How can you possibly ban a “group” under any name they “reform” under? Is this a preemptive ban on any groups that could be anti Israel?

- Comment on Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? 2 months ago:
Lemmy.ml is super commie and Nazis are anti commie, I don’t understand how this is a coherent line of thinking
- Comment on Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? 2 months ago:
The “Nazi talking points” that aren’t mentioned could be a bait, and be something as simple as anti communism or economic reforms that stimulate production through public works (e.g. the autobahn)
They may not be the things the Nazis were hated for…

Who demanded the govt make new laws? I don’t know a single person who demanded such a thing, nor anyone who actually supports them after reading how incredibly vague and severe the legislation is

Has anyone else read the legislated changes? They are shocking and apply so very broadly that simply criticising groups that fund politicians as an example would likely end up as criminal hate speech

If conducted in good faith they would have discussed it with industry like everything else they do and industry would have worked with them to produce a solution that isn’t brain dead
Like zero knowledge proofs for being over 18

I haven’t seen any cutout for small sites, you have to comply if meeting the criteria. You’d just be breaking the law and hoping the govt doesn’t come knocking

Nailed it
They could just release some tools to parents to monitor/block sites but that would be too logical
- Comment on As of December 10th, You need to be sixteen to use Aussie.Zone 5 months ago:
Proof it’s not about “protecting children” when the most child unfriendly sites are not impacted

Fringe groups protest everything, it doesn’t reflect the population as a whole. They only used payment processors as a lever to achieve what they want

Where are these people that “care” about MasterCard processing steam transactions?
- Comment on Neo-Nazi's bank accounts frozen as private sector moves to cut off group's funding pipeline 6 months ago:
Maybe everyone considers this to be good progress, but banks have been shutting down the accounts or refusing to process payments for all the groups they disagree with for many years. For example, adult games on Steam. In this case it might seem justified but as we move to a digital only society this is a pretty dystopion look when you take a step back
