It is #LongCOVID Awareness Day. At least 10% of people will experience symptoms for many months, even years after COVID. These can be debilitating & impact everyday things we all take for granted. We hear you! Our lab is studying the causes behind LC. We hope to find better diagnostics & treatments.

Two different, but related, points:
- Every dollar of tax not collected is 'foregone', so the framing is suboptimal (there are billions 'foregone' by not taxing everyone at 50%, for e.g.).
- The 50% discount had no basis in policy and CGT should go back to indexation.

Australia’s housing affordability crisis is not that difficult to solve: increase supply and lower demand by ending the incentives that treat housing as an investment vehicle rather than someone’s home. Now if only we had a government brave enough to do it.
