<p>The government said they wouldn&#39;t touch the tax rules. Then they came for CGT, negative gearing, trusts… and gave us a $250 offset that doesn&#39;t even kick in until 2027. 🙃</p><p><br></p><p>This week Hubert finally gets his 30 minutes to vent about the budget — and Kevin and Ash don&#39;t hold back either. We dig into what actually changed, why there&#39;s so much hate towards it, and whether ANY of it makes sense long-term.</p><p><br></p><p>We also break down the budget replies from the Liberals and One Nation, plus we ran an AI analysis on all three parties&#39; economic policies to see who actually came out on top from a business and investment lens. (Spoiler: it&#39;s not who the government wanted.)</p><p><br></p><p>⚠️ This is NOT us waving a flag for any party.
