Uncommon Sense: Breaking Down the 2026 Federal Budget
Amy is joined by Rachel Withers and Greg Jericho for a breakdown of the 2026 federal budget. As Jim Chalmer's fifth budget, it's also his most contentious yet. Together they discuss changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT), negative gearing, discretionary trusts, and the implications this will have on the housing market, tax revenue, and more.
Rachel Withers writes for Crikey, and is co-host of Thursday night's Spin Cycle.
Greg Jericho is the Chief Economist at The Australia Institute and a columnist at The Guardian.
