re CGT, again, taking more tax from individuals investing to get ahead and decrease their reliance on the government is a ridiculous tax.
Perhaps it could be staggered and capped at a certain amount for your life time. i.e. zero CGT on first $250k, 75% discount up to $1m, 50% discount up to $5m then no discount. I am sure there are dozens of issues with this system but to be honest i think the 50% discount after holding an asset for 12 months is actually just fine.
