Capital Gains Discount is not only for property but also for all capital investments so removing it will cool much more investment. Before the discount CPI adjustment for the gain applied, so it will need to be reinstated if the discount ends.

The free electricity won't be available to me, but it's a great idea. The Opposition also don't understand that excess energy in the grid is a real problem, and it has to be wasted if no consumer can be found. Shifting demand to offset peak usage demand is a great idea!

We love VW Beetles, as we love 1970s new wave bands.

I'd like to see many extinctions for nature in this land!
Rabbits, cane toads, fire ants, cats, dogs, pigs ...and then there is the exotic flora.
Nature needs culling!
What is wrong with our politicians!

As you can see from this simple calculation for similar size and duty vehicles, currently an EV is not far cheaper to operate than a HEV. Yes, EVs are constantly improving, but so are HEVs.

A calculation I did a couple of years ago comparing EV to HEV for emissions. Not a lot has changed since, swings and merry-go-rounds. I have not ventured to the energy chain from the resource in the ground as to lack of data, but logic can be fairly applied to that.

You're an engineer, as I am since 1985. I'm also a car enthusiast since the 1960s and energy efficiency enthusiast since the 1970s; both in my childhood. You stated today on ABC News that EVs cost less to run - generally they don't. I did the maths and the logic, did you?

Hegseth is rounding up all the high-ranking military personnel to one location for a pep talk - how incredibly irresponsible; or is it where they will be sorted into cult supporters and the disappeared!

So if Palestine is established as a nation state with the approval and assistance of new USA and Israel Governments, Sussan Ley's LNP will oppose it and not recognise it!
