You heard it here first.

Well, you certainly heard it here.

We were among the first four where you heard it, I would think.

All right, we'll be back in a moment.

I have a couple of questions.

I'm drawing from lots of questions this week, as you can imagine, and there will be more on the budget.

Hello, welcome back to the Australian's Money Puzzle podcast.

James Kirby here with Liam Short.

I have some questions and there will be more, I'm sure.

Send them in, themoneypuzzle at theaustralian.com.au.

First one from Simon.

Do you think the government could have avoided a lot of blowback by making the CGT discount 33% like it is in super?

I think that would have been a splendid idea, Simon.

What do you think, Liam?

Yeah, it would seem to be their moment.

It was their window.

And boy, you got to say, whatever else you can say, they took their moment.

They took their moment.

They threw the kitchen sink at it.

And just about everything that's been rumored for about five years came to pass in one budget.
