The budget targets intergenerational unfairness by reducing capital gains tax discount, eliminating negative gearing for landlords, and imposing a minimum 30% tax on discretionary trust income. Middle-class Gen X households feel squeezed, while wealthy areas like Sydney and Perth suburbs experience significant losses. The budgets impacts are progressive but mild, with most Aussies barely noticing a change. This budget paves the way for broader tax cuts targeting middle-income mortgage holders before the next election. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
