The Federal Budget has landed, and two of Australia’s biggest investing sacred cows — negative gearing and capital gains tax — are in the firing line. Bryce and Ren unpack what the changes mean for property, shares, startups and long-term investors, before reviewing the community portfolio, debating Catapult, Berkshire and TSMC, adding Bitcoin to the mix, and closing with a practical 101 on gearing.
