Negative gearing on established homes has just been abolished. The capital gains tax discount you've relied on for twenty years has been rewritten.   And somewhere between the government's press conference and the Treasury modelling, a trillion dollars in debt got added to the tab for a generation that hasn't even been asked if they're willing to pay it.   So here's the question I want to answer for you today. If you're a property investor, a business owner, or someone who just wants a comfortable retirement, what do the next three years actually look like for you?   By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what the man leading the opposition to these changes thinks should happen instead.   You'll know whether a change of government would genuinely wind back negative gearing and CGT reform, or whether that's politically unrealistic once the changes are locked in.    And you'll understand where the real blame sits for the property market slowdown, because it's not as simple as the headlines make out.   My guest today is the Hon Tim Wilson, the Federal Member for Goldstein and Australia's Shadow Treasurer and in this episode I'm speaking with him about what the recent tax and housing changes mean for property, business, and retirement outcomes.   We unpack how government debt, rising taxes, and weaker private investment are reshaping Australia's economic outlook.   Tim explains why policy uncertainty is damaging confidence for property investors, business owners, and overseas capital.   We discuss how changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and trusts could lift rents and deter new housing supply.   We also explore why a growth-focused, small-business-led economy is, in Tim's view, the best path forward.   Takeaways    • Government debt today becomes tomorrow's taxes, squeezing household spending and future investment choices. • Inflation erodes living standards by lifting supermarket prices while wages and productivity struggle to keep pace. • Public-sector job growth can crowd out private enterprise, weakening long-term economic resilience and innovation. • Higher taxes on property investment reduce rental supply, pushing rents upward for tenants. • Tax changes that hurt housing feasibility discourage builders, slowing new dwelling construction across the market. • First-home buyer schemes can unintentionally inflate entry-level prices by boosting demand faster than supply. • Retrospective rule changes destroy investor confidence, making long-term capital allocation far riskier. • Trust tax reforms may trigger costly restructures, wasting time and money across the economy. • Prioritising super over home ownership delays deposits, family formation, and wealth-building for younger Australians. • Small businesses drive productivity and hiring, so backing them supports broader economic growth and opportunity.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

Sometimes, a pivot isn’t triggered by a failure.Sometimes, it happens because you keep looking for a way to make the world a little bit fairer. Anne Aly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and moved to Australia when she was just two years old. Her parents worked hard in factory jobs to give their family a foothold here - and those early experiences of displacement, resilience and possibility stayed with her. By her late twenties, Anne was a single working mother raising two young boys in Perth on the minimum wage. She knew what it meant to juggle life’s demands with no safety net - and she used that as fuel to keep pushing forward. She went back to study - and then studied some more, earning a Master’s and a PhD focused on countering violent extremism. From there, Anne became a globally recognised expert in her field - advising the United Nations, publishing hundreds of academic works, and even being the only Australian invited to speak at President Obama’s White House summit on countering violent extremism. But academia was never where her story stopped. In 2016, Anne took another monumental pivot - into politics. She was elected as the Federal Member for Cowan, becoming the first Muslim woman in the Australian Parliament, and then a minister in federal government, shaping policy on multicultural affairs, small business and international development. Along the way, she has championed issues close to her heart - from community safety to meaningful support for domestic and family violence survivors, turning her own life experience into public purpose. In this episode, Anne talks about how she navigated seismic life shifts with grit, compassion, and that same drive to make space for voices too often overlooked - and how she keeps pivoting even when the stakes are high.

Many men are taught how to be strong — but not how to be supported. In this episode, we sit down with Dan Repacholi, Federal Member for the Hunter and Special Envoy for Men's Health, for a deeply personal conversation about shame, responsibility, resilience, and vulnerability. Drawing on his own experiences and public role, Dan reflects on identity, pressure, and the quiet courage it takes to ask for help. This is a conversation about rewriting old rules and learning how to stay connected — to yourself, and to the people who love you.

In this episode we're joined by Federal Member for Fenner, the Honorable Dr Andrew Leigh MP, and philosopher and emeritus professor of bioethics at Princeton University, Peter Singer, to consider if we should value the lives of unborn future generations, more than we value those of us alive today. The consideration of lives unborn sits at the heart of ‘existential risk'. It asks us to take seriously all the future generations who, if humanity gets it right, could end up far far more numerous than every life lived to date. We could in fact, be just at the beginning of our beautiful journey as a species. But we do face a number of very real risks that could literally destroy us all - biowarfare, climate change and AI to name but a few.So, should we spend our limited resources helping the poorest and most in need today, wherever they live? Or should we divert resources to reduce the sorts of risks which, if left unchecked, could prevent countless generations from coming into existence at all?Peter Singer - BioPeter Singer is emeritus professor of bioethics at Princeton University.

How Economics Explains the World: A Short History of Humanity by Andrew Leigh https://amzn.to/3zvqNiy “If you read just one book about economics, make it Andrew Leigh's clear, insightful, and remarkable (and short) work.” —Claudia Goldin, recipient of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics and Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University A sweeping, engrossing history of how economic forces have shaped the world—all in under 200 pages InHow Economics Explains the World, Harvard-trained economist Andrew Leigh presents a new way to understand the human story. From the dawn of agriculture to AI, here is story of how ingenuity, greed, and desire for betterment have, to an astonishing degree, determined our past, present, and future. This small book indeed tells a big story. It is the story of capitalism – of how our market system developed. It is the story of the discipline of economics, and some of the key figures who formed it. And it is the story of how economic forces have shaped world history. Why didn't Africa colonize Europe instead of the other way around? What happened when countries erected trade and immigration barriers in the 1930s? Why did the Allies win World War II? Why did inequality in many advanced countries fall during the 1950s and 1960s? How did property rights drive China's growth surge in the 1980s? How does climate change threaten our future prosperity? You'll find answers to these questions and more in How Economics Explains the World.About the author Andrew Leigh is the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities, Treasury and Employment, and Federal Member for Fenner in the Australian Parliament.

With a strong focus on serving the community and helping whenever and wherever he can, Milton has had an association with the political landscape since he joined the ALP at the age of 18 as a university student and served as National President of Young Labor.  He's worked in a number of other roles, from Electorate Officer for David Beddall and a position working for Senator John Hogg, the President of the Senate at the time. In 2004, he was appointed as the ALP's State Secretary and Campaign Director, having served as a delegate to the national conference since 2001. He led the party's successful campaign in Queensland at the 2007 Federal Election and announced his resignation in December 2007 to stand for political office, which he was successful in being elected as the Brisbane City Councillor for the Richlands Ward. During his time as a Councillor, he held the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and then Leader of the Opposition from 2012 to the time of his resignation in 2016, where he he was pre-selected and elected as the Federal Member for Oxley, following the Hon Bernie Ripoll's retirement. During this episode, Milton's passion for people, for community and for increasing the level of what he calls Democratic Literacy is very evident. As the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, he takes huge pride in his position and the responsibility of the role is certainly not taken for granted.  It's a great conversation where he shares plenty of his thoughts, reflections and information on life, people and politics.
