I should start by saying, I am trying to find out information in good faith and have done a bit of research that was largely unproductive thanks to all the spin and "expert commentary".

My understanding is the new proposal would tax gains adjusted for inflation at 30%. I am also of the understanding that you could claim a 50% discount on this tax if you lived in a property it would apply within a timeframe. I am not sure how it was calculated for other asset classes.

I'm going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.

Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.

In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

Melbourne, Cronulla. Brisbane, Penrith.

Who are we thinking goes through to the big one?
