Well they've had a CGT as you said for a long time um and and they they don't know whether I can explain the changes it's it's around the amount that um that they can discount um something like 50% um so I'm not the person to really explain it but they've made made a change which um is is there's not so much an argument about that um but this um this credits these um the names just left me the um these credits that they have that um if you're an investor um that you you are able to discount against your income um they the br they have changed yeah they have changed that and there's that doesn't affect many people at all so if you look at what they did in taxation they gave it they gave a break of about 250 dollars or something to the to the lowest income earners and then then there is something like a thousand dollars across another group and then they made these changes to the top of the top um earners or those that are investors that has gone down badly because it wasn't promised um in fact they said there'd be no tax changes but I think what happened was that um and and actually it was it was um the 2019 Labour Party policy um Bill Shorten was the leader and he had both those changes in the policy um and they lost uh as you know for the miracle election for SCOMO but but um they didn't promise it at this last election and it's been seen and played up by the Liberal Party in particular as a broken promise that these tax changes um would never foreshadowed I think Jim Chalmers who I have a lot of respect for he's an incredibly good treasurer in my view um I think they have to bite the bullet they're facing the same sort of pressures we face in New Zealand around the cost of living um around the cost of electricity around the cost of superannuation uh health etc and and uh I think they've decided that they needed to address that uh someone has to address it it's a bit like us talking about super who's going to address it but their problem I think is that it's seen as a broken broken promise whether they can convince I mean they've got time to convince the public this was necessary and it doesn't affect most people um I I think that'll be that'll be the issue for them they're being they um they're pretty hard to beat I think at this stage because of their electoral system um and even with one nation you know picking up um a seat um in the house um and and because of the the way they vote I d and they're out in the regions they're looking in the regions and sort of the outer suburbs um I I think that they'd have to knock off a hell of a lot of seats to beat Labor but they are that but they are um certainly making their mark on the Liberal Party.
