Summary

For two decades, we’ve had a tax policy that pushed up house prices, gave landlords huge advantages, and ultimately created an intergenerational wealth divide.  A week ago, the government said it wanted to do something about that and announced changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax.  But the budget hasn’t gone down well – for some, it doesn’t go far enough to make a real difference to the housing market. For others, particularly in business, changes to capital gains go too far.  Today, Treasurer Jim Chalmers defends his budget.    If you enjoy  7am , the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support .   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Treasurer Jim Chalmers Photo:  AAP Image/Lukas Coch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
