Dad do you think I could build cars when I grow up? No son, no chance, our job is to unload the ship, wash, and sell the cars, and write about how great they are, and occasionally safety test smash one.

Australia just did something no other country has ever done. Doctors in Sydney are now killing cancer tumours by freezing them solid — no scalpel, no stitches, no surgery at all. It's happening at Liverpool Hospital in southwest Sydney, home to Australia's first MRI-guided cryoablation machine. Here's how it works. A needle thinner than a few millimetres is threaded into the tumour while doctors watch every move in real time on the MRI. Then gas shoots through it, dropping the temperature to around minus 180°C in seconds. The tumour freezes into a tiny "ice ball." The cancer cells rupture. The blood supply chokes off. The tumour dies. No cutting. No bleeding. No weeks of recovery. One of the first patients was Josephine Cordina, 64, who'd been living with a 9mm tumour buried in her spine. The pain stole her sleep. Painkillers barely touched it. Open surgery would've meant screws in her spine and weeks flat on her back. Instead, doctors froze it. One day later, she walked out of the hospital pain-free. That's the part that sounds impossible — most patients go home within 24 hours and skip the long hospital stay entirely. It works on tumours in the spine, the liver, the kidneys. And it gives hope to people who were told they were too old, too sick, or too high-risk for traditional surgery. The future of cancer treatment might not involve a single cut.

Labor’s kryptonite. Once the everyday Australians start running the numbers for themselves, the spell will break. This isn’t just hedge funds and billionaires objecting anymore, it’s ordinary investors, tradies, retirees and small business owners realising inflationary gains are being taxed as real wealth. This will be politically lethal.

@ytdzero @clairlemon Most of mine are auto listed / pre-filled by the ATO, but some I have to add manually despite all using the same TFN.

@fulovitboss @AlboMP @AngusTaylorMP @PaulineHansonOz @OneNationAus "there wasn't a tax in [sic] capital before 1985, it was then changed by Howard." Making it sound like Howard introduced CGT. Hawke/Keating introduced in 1985. Howard changed it 14 years later. How devious... or is he just clearly clueless?

The negative gearing change is a minor issue in reality - it is a timing difference rather than a permanent difference and just for existing resi propadee The real worry is the massive increase in CGT in assets totally unrelated to residential housing

So why did you make CGT changes to all asset classes. I’m a young person who’s working hard who has equity in business I’ve worked for or started. This destroys young people who are working hard to get ahead by saving and investing. Nothing to do with housing or intergenerational fairness you liar. I’m all for property tax reform. Not for your blanket tax grab.

Why found a startup in Australia when Singapore and NZ have zero % CGT?

@Adam_Creighton The young buy ETF/shares because a large amount of money is not needed to do so and one can build on it. Then it can be sold to buy a deposit for home. Labor is killing that opportunity

I’m disappointed they scrapped the CGT discount on shares. Remove it from housing, but then also removing to from shares literally removed the incentive for anyone to use investments to build wealth. Especially given the amount of younger people who invest in ETFs given the huge popularity of micro investing apps.
