The Investor Lab ·

2026/04/18

The CGT discount conversation is back in the headlines. Investors are starting to ask whether the whole thesis still holds. Some are even getting cold feet. This week, we're sitting down to work through it honestly. We walk through the history of how CGT got to where it is, what's actually being proposed for the May budget, and what the numbers really show when you run them across every scenario.

Fuel prices have nearly doubled. Two back-to-back rate hikes. Consumer confidence at its lowest point in over 50 years. A war in the Middle East. Should you be investing right now? It's a fair question. This week, we sit down and work through it honestly. We unpack what's actually happening with fuel supply (it's not what the headlines suggest), what the 1970s oil crisis tells us about investing through periods like this, and what Australian property has done through every major crisis since 2001

The economy isn't just broken. It's splitting — and most people have no idea what's going on.
