Australia has officially entered clown-world tax policy.
Mum and dad investors trying to build wealth for retirement?
Tax them harder.
Australians trying to buy one or two properties so they donât end up broke on the pension?
Punish them.
But foreign investors buying up renewable energy assets?
Roll out the red carpet and keep the 50% capital gains tax discount.
Apparently, if youâre an Australian family trying to get ahead, youâre the problem.
But if youâre a foreign multinational with a solar farm and a boardroom full of tax lawyers, congratulations, youâre now ânation building.â
This is not housing policy.
This is not fairness.
This is the government picking winners and losers, and surprise surprise, ordinary Australians are not the winners.
They tell you property investors are greedy.
No.
Most are nurses, tradies, teachers, small business owners and parents trying to create a retirement plan that doesnât involve eating baked beans under fluorescent lighting.
The real question is simple:
Why is an Australian mum and dad investor treated like a villain, while foreign capital gets treated like royalty?
Follow the incentives.
Thatâs where the truth is hiding.
