Parliamentary Budget Office drops the truth bomb: 59% of the 50% CGT discount bonanza goes to the richest 1% (earning >$362k).
The system is rigged—tax breaks for millionaires while housing becomes a fantasy for the rest of us. Scrap this inequality engine.

*My social justice activist friend, Crystal, was interviewed for this article.*
As the City of Victoria conducts what outreach workers say are deadly sweeps of Pandora Avenue, those who facilitate unhoused individuals into addiction rehabilitation centres say there’s not enough spaces to meet the needs of those who are left on the capital city’s streets.
“What I’m faced with is, where am I sending them?” said Theresa Reeve, executive director of the relatively new non-profit Westcoast Recovery Outreach.
Reeve says private treatment centres only take a select number of government-funded clients, leaving empty beds open for higher paying private clients.
“I could fill up their treatment centre if they would allow me,” said Reeve. “But they only let a few government-funded beds. We need to increase those government funded beds. These people deserve a chance just like everybody else.”
“People having to wait anywhere from two weeks to three months waiting to get into a detox bed is not acceptable. We need a better system now. We just had an election about. Where are all the beds they promised they were going to build?”
The Minister of Health told CHEK News in a statement that her government is adding new services without specifics.

Target: Michael Gove MP, the Secretary of State for Housing Petition ask: Scrap ‘hope value’ because it makes councils pay so much for land they can’t build social housing Right now, land is so expensive that it’s very hard for anyone to build genuinely affordable, desperately needed social homes. One of the reasons land is so expensive for councils is because of a bizarre old rule called 'hope value'. Councils can make landowners sell their land to build much needed homes for our communities - but they are then forced by law to pay hope value.
Ask the Lords to support our amendments We want to change the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill so councils and developers build more social homes. To do that, we need you – again! Last month, over 4,000 Shelter supporters emailed Lords and asked them to put social housing at the heart of this Bill. It worked. A third of peers who spoke in the debate mentioned the need for more social housing. This wouldn’t have happened without Shelter supporter like you contacting them. Now we need Lords to support our amendments. The bill is at Committee Stage (when they can debate and change the bill).
