Falling Behind examines the widening economic gap between generations and the growing challenges young Australians face in achieving financial security and building a stable future.
Options Paper: Making Tax Reform Count
This paper explores alternative ways that revenue raised through reform could be used to strengthen Australia’s economic security and reduce financial stress. This paper outlines four possible options: investing in public and community housing, increasing the tax-free threshold, strengthening working-age income support payments, and addressing the growing problem of unpayable energy debt. Each option represents a different approach to improving economic security and ensuring that the benefits of tax reform flow to those who need them most.
Rebalancing Capital Gains Tax
Rebalancing Capital Gains Tax finds that the capital gains tax discount has helped turn housing into an investment game — benefiting people who already own property while locking others out of secure, affordable homes. The paper calls for reform of the capital gains tax discount, alongside changes to other housing tax settings, with revenue redirected into public and community housing. Taken together, these steps would help address inequality at its source, rebalance Australia’s housing system, and ensure that public resources are directed toward shared community benefit.
