The Government is Misusing Tax Payer Dollars | Dave Hughes, Sam Gordon, Aaron Christie-David
Built Different PodcastShow Notes
They said rents would rise by $2 a week. The banks now say $300. Dave Hughes and buyer's agent Sam Gordon join Aaron Christie-David to follow the money on the Australian property budget nobody voted for.
Hughesy explains why the CGT change was never taken to an election, why he says there was no mandate for it, and why he now calls himself part of the problem.
Sammy does the maths the modelling didn't: lose $10K on a property, get $3K back, and a $700-a-week rental becomes $1,000. Then the receipts. $1.6 million to hire pot plants. $90 million weather website. A tunnel that went from $4 billion to $11 billion. Sacked politicians on $250K a year for life. And Hughesy's fix: every cent of public money on a register, in real time.
It gets personal too, with the Greens senator who called him a rich landlord while he rents a flat to a single mum for $120 a week, why small business owners are the heroes of this economy, and why "breathing is winning." This episode touches on financial stress and mental health. Lifeline 13 11 14, Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636. Want to know what the changes mean for your borrowing power?
