@DHughesy 2nd time you posted this nonsense Didn’t you like the responses you got ya peanut Fuck Hughesy 🖕

@DHughesy Two wealthy wankers having a whinge. When the landlord pays less tax than a tenant, there is a problem. But I suppose the wealthy don't care. It is called GREED.

@DHughesy We live under a system that encourages, rewards, and celebrates greed and selfishness, these changes are only a minor correction, and it speaks volumes about rich people like @DHughesy & @markbouris that they’re pushing back so hard against them. #NeoLiberalismIsClassWarfare

@DHughesy Just a heads up, Mark and Dave. It's now law and Labor went up 3 points Move on and stop whinging.

@DHughesy I enjoy listening to your podcast, Mark.

@DHughesy I was pleasantly surprised with Hughesy. Great interview.

@DHughesy The Labor mindset is that they DO NOT want anyone to “build wealth”. They want to keep us all poor and the same

@DHughesy Hughesy on the impact that CGT changes are having on him you mean? His little crusade is personal. He doesn't care about the battlers.

@DHughesy He's an idiot who said Melbourne house prices have not increased in 10 years

@DHughesy Two blokes with too much money and zero self awareness. Next.

@DHughesy All these penniless young students making capital gains from nowhere! Pathetic greedy arseholes pretending it's not about them.

@DHughesy Stop carrying on about hughesy the comedian and listen to what hes saying. Because hes bang on ya fk tards. Thanks @markbouris for giving him a platform to express his cander

@DHughesy Why is it everyday I open a new app, I see this cracked cunt complaining about tax. Absolutely sick of him. Yes we pay tax, so does every country. Stop sooking.

@DHughesy We've got 4 million people living in poverty here in Australia & millions more living from paycheck to paycheck. But hey, let's not worry about these battlers. Instead, why don't we fixate on this whiny old white guy & his $10 million dollar property portfolio😵‍💫

@DHughesy Be judged by the company you keep. You're unprincipled & disconnected from reality.

@DHughesy really don't care about him, he's part of the problem. if he nudges his mates and sheep to the right they'll still be hard leftists, never admit they were wrong or the harm they've cheered on while sneering at the working class. i detest these people.

@DHughesy

@DHughesy Wouldn’t Hughesy’s lad be paying regular income tax on his dividends, and only pays Capital Gains Tax (now minus the 30% taxpayer funded concession), if he sells his shares? If he is operating as a share trading business, it becomes business tax, not capital gains Right?

@DHughesy i’m sorry but he is not an expert in economics. 😂

@DHughesy Who called the comedian a wierdo cooker!?😱 Who called the weirdo cooker a comedian!?🤨🤦🏼

@DHughesy Why is Hughes always in pain, an unfunny comedian that has used tax breaks to buy his properties, should shut the fuck up, some people cannot afford one home , just a whinging wannabe looking for more attention

@DHughesy "Hughesy" is in the top 0.4% wealthiest in our country. You're in the top 0.1%. To quote the great global wealth-leader, Elon Musk: G. F. Y.

@DHughesy Investors outbid me multiple times when I was buying a house. Not everyone is out to build wealth.

@DHughesy Mark Bouris validating the economic credentials/whining of Dave Hughes is peak greedy dickhead Australia. I’m old enough to remember when Bouris read his rich, RW mates opinions as the public mood before the last election

@DHughesy Load of crap Mark. Firstly he's was a failed comedian and now a grifting, whining spoilt flog I have made plenty of gains via property, bothers me sweet fck all if it's indexed against inflation or 50% method. Resi should be be used to build weatlh

@DHughesy House investment set up by Howard is for lazy investors. It’s a parasitic drain on younger generations standard of living due to over inflated house prices. Our children should be able to put a roof they own, over their head.

@DHughesy Great podcast. Hughesy is saying a lot of things that everyday Aussies are thinking but can’t speak up about.

@DHughesy Give it up. FFS.

@DHughesy I'd love a unit in Marrickville and I'm sure many 'kids' would too! The arrogance and deafness he has is startling.

@DHughesy Latest tax changes flatten the liabilities between PAYG vs Rich.

@DHughesy The guy whose entire wealth is based on exploiting a tax loophole that was crushing multiple generations of young people is not SUDDENLY concerned for the battler's future when he (FINALLY) is mildly inconvenienced? Fuck off with your fake lamentations, you playacting grifter.

@DHughesy Labor = Communists 🇦🇺🤡

@DHughesy This stupid, performative prick is pretending the current govt has introduced a new tax. The CGT has been in place for more than 40 years. From its introduction in 85 until 99, gains were discounted by CPI … #auspol

@DHughesy Hughes is either ignorant or lying.
